On the back of last week’s odd hen’s party story here is another weird encounter that Rach had when she was working in real estate a few years ago.
In Rach’s words:

I knocked on the door to say hello, the occupant was at home and ready for the inspection (which is totally fine, I love a good chat).

Once I reached the hallway, the bedroom door to my left was closed. Before entering, I asked the renter “is anyone else home today?” to which he responded “no, it’s just me”.

Over. My. Dead. Body.
Anyway, it’s safe to say I never returned.”
I promise next week we will go back to regular programming.

Others suggested prices would rise intensely in the next 12 months. But my favourite response to the short-term property market came from … Read more
