While that’s definitely a dilemma, at least you know more or less how to deal with it. What we’re going to look into are situations that are a little bit beyond a trying day at the office – to put it mildly.

We’re going to show you five of the craziest funny real estate stories you won’t believe. Keep reading if you need to smile!

1. Ants in the Pants

Our first story will make you jump! There is no telling how this real estate agent kept her cool during this awkward encounter.

Everything was going great for one realtor when suddenly, she started jumping up and down and screaming.

She had to dash into a bedroom and rip her pants off. When she did so, a grasshopper jumped out. Can you imagine having to deal with a naked real estate agent who starts screaming and jumping around?

2. The House Crashers

One realtor was hosting an open house with some people who lived nearby dropped in. He forgot about them as other people came and went until it was finally time to close up.

When he checked on the master bedroom, the couple was dead asleep in the bed. Upon waking them up, they had a strange confession.

Apparently, the house belonged to the woman’s parents and they hadn’t spoken for years. They ended up buying the house, too. That’s one weird way to make a sale!

3. Quiet Neighborhood

Successful real estate agents always have a few tricks up their sleeve to ensure a sale. They bake cookies to make the house smell nice, they use a management system like Agentbox, and they use a little realtor humor.

One realtor was tasked with selling a house across from a graveyard. The solution? Putting up a sign that said “Quiet neighbors across the street!”

4. What’s Behind Door #1?

Processing awkward situations can be a key to success. After what this realtor went through, you know he must’ve sold tons of houses.

The realtor was showing the house and received a bunch of keys that had different labels on them. When they went exploring, they opened the wrong door for sure.

Because of the confusing layout of the building, the realtor had accidentally unlocked a neighbor’s door and found him just in his boxers. Luckily, the neighbor was cool about it and showed them out!

5. Ferret Fail

Pets can be cute but sometimes, they make selling a house hard. One realtor truly made a fatal mistake during a crazy showing.

The owners had decided that their precious pet ferrets didn’t need to be caged. When the realtor went to show the house, the ferrets went wild and leaped up to attack them.

The realtor’s solution? Use their clients as a human shield! Safe to say there wasn’t a sale that day.
