What's the wildest thing you've spotted in a client's home that you're showing? I swear, some people leave the craziest things out in the open!

I'm pretty surprised at how few people go through the trouble of cleaning their homes when they know someone is going to come view it. You don't have to do a deep cleaning and shampoo the carpets, but maybe clear the dishes out of the sink; it really makes an impact on potential buyers. A much bigger impact than most people think it does.

The most uncomfortable I've been recently when in a client's home is when they left out some... ahem... mature entertainment videos, if you know what I mean... on the coffee table. I was showing the home to a young mom and was REALLY glad she decided not to bring her kids with her.

One place I was helping a client to sell was out in the country, and they had a pet goat which they allowed inside of the house. WOW, you would not believe the amount of damage those creatures can cause! Cute little guy, though. His name was Remy

I don't show houses but when I was still in the market for buying my first place, I found a grow-room complete with shelves and high-wattage bulbs. Marijuana wasn't legal back then, and it was super awkward
