Another Experience- Lock Out

not a fun job





I know.. I know , I'd been gone for awhile but believe it or not I have been extremely busy in REAL ESTATE! I am starting to show properties, opened a couple of escrows, did an inspection, change garage doors-- ain't that great all for the love of real estate. But today is another dimension to my real estate esperience--- locking out with the Sheriff with me. I was advised by the lawyer yesterday and was instructed by the asset manager on what to do.

I woke up very early this morning ... I prayed that this lock out will go smoothly. I can feel my adrenaline flowing. This is the guy who was really tough on me. I offered him $1,500.00 a couple of months ago to move out but he said he will not move without court papers. So that day came and I was nervous to see him face to face again. I wore rubber shoes, jeans and my Century21 shirt. I was ready for anything that will happen including sprinting. Hey, you have to include that in the job description. The appointment is at 10:30, I was there at 10:15 but never dared to go near the house without the Sheriff and my key guy. When the time came-- we knocked and knocked ... nothing.. but all the doors were tightly locked. Sigh of relief. Confrontation was not in my plan that morning nor do I want kids crying because they are loosing their home. The neighbor told us that they still saw them yesterday . The man who rejected my cash for keys probably realized that it was the end. I was relieved.. I will pray for them.. and wish them luck.
