A quick cute story. I had taken a Sign call fairly early in the morning some years ago on a Home that I had Listed in the Piedmont Neighborhood of Portland Oregon. The call had been placed by a fellow that I would guess was about 35 years old or so. He had asked if I could pick him and his Grandmother up and take them to see the house.
Beaming over the phoneI said that I would be Delighted. I went right into my qualifications spiel asking them my standard set of questions. Amongst the questions that I like to ask is ” would you have time to look at other properties as well. ” I generally would pick a couple of more homes close by. The man said that he thought that would be a great Idea.
Promptly at 3pm I picked up the man and his Grandmother and took them to the house. As we walked through the Grandson asked a variety of questions and I returned the favor by answering and following up with a series of questions of my own. Grandmother chose to walk through the home without making any comments at all even when I asked her questions she mostly nodded and moved on.
The Grandson seemed to be asking enough questionsfor the both of them. And as Grandmother did not seem the least annoyed or interested in contributing to the conversation I pretty much left it at that. The next two homes were literally a replay of the first home. That of the Grandson asking a lot of questions and Grandmother walking and nodding when required.
We had spent at least 45 minutes in each of the housesand I wondered if Grandmother was getting little tired. Before I could ask them if they wanted a brake, the Grandson said that he would like to take a closer look at the first house again. We spent a least another 30 minutes there the second time. The entire time Grandmother wandered and I answered questions.
Driving them towards the house the Grandson suddenly had the presence of mind to ask his Grandmother if she was hungry. After being with them for almost 3 hours Grandmother made her first and only statement.
” I’m so hungry I could Eat a Raw Dog ! “
