Creepy Home Seller - Turns out she had a good reason

At one of our recent staff meetings one of our purchasing agents mentioned a strange situation when she was setting up a showing on a home.

The listing agent asked her to describe the home buyers she was going to be showing through.

This is almost never done, in part because the listing agent and the seller don't want to be accused of discriminating against a buyer based on the color of their skin or any other protected class issue.

Since this caught our agent off-guard she investigated further and found the seller was indeed behind this question.

But there was a good reason.

The seller was a single woman who was recently divorced and her husband had apparently had some of his friends use real estate agents to go through her home and check out her living arrangements.

I don't blame the woman and that certainly isn't a very nice thing for her X to be doing!
