Chapter 1

Strange Buyer Experiences

Caveat Emptor

Did you know that there are several classes of sex offenders? Did you know that if you have ever taken a pee behind a bush on a golf course, you can be charged as a Class 1 sex offender? Same if you ever mooned someone? Or even if you are a five year old playing doctor on the playground?

Well, ridiculous as it seems, all are true. Realtors give buyers information about how to check neighborhoods for sex offenders. After all, you don’t want your little kids being in the same area as a convicted child rapist or violent sex offender. We have no power over whether the buyers actually read the information, or use it to make informed decisions. However, would you be bothered if you found out a neighbor had peed on the golf course? Or maybe you mooned someone twenty years ago while you were out drinking with friends. Once convicted of any level of sex offence, it stays with you forever.

One buyer found out after he and his family had moved into a house in a posh neighborhood that a guy down the street had been convicted as a Level 1 sex offender. He tried to sue the realtors, the seller, and anyone else he could think of, to get his money back. It was a pretty high profile case, and I have no idea if anything ever came of it in court, but caveat emptor!

Champagne anyone?

Experienced high end agents told me this story. They had a multi-million dollar property for sale, and a buyer who flew in on his private jet three times to look at it, and consider it. From his comments, they were ready to write it up and sell it to him. Each time he showed up in town on his private jet, they treated him to champagne brunch, and then dinner. After the third time they treated him to expensive meals, they asked him to sign a buyer broker agreement, and a purchase contract. He said he would do so the next day, but never showed up, and they never heard from him again. They never did find out what happened to him. Maybe he just liked flying in to various cities on his private jet, being entertained by unsuspecting realtors, and then heading back home?

Vicarious Thrill?

In that
