BPO of the Week...hands down winner!

 

I have been tasked by my asset manager to go to a pre-listed property and do the BPO.  Cyprexx had not rekeyed yet, and were supposed to and this house was 45 minutes to an hour away from my office.  I REALLY did not want to drive back out...so hence the boost up...

 

Once I was boosted up, I could smell the horrible dead smell of something, "just not right" in that house.  I was hanging half in and half out and my sister (pictured here in the blue shirt) had to get behind me and push.  Once I was unclogged enough to shimmy through...here is the photo she took.  We are camera people, what can we say?

                         

Technically one of the most flattering shots ever....NOT!!!!!!!!!!

 

So my day started with a BANG folks!  Inside this house it was abandoned, and it was if the guy walked out one day and left everything there.  The egg he cooked was still in the pan...and REEKED!  The clothes were hanging on his hangers, his bed and pillow were there.  He just disappeared and left EVERYTHING!  Even a set of drums and enough tools to start a home depot!

 

What a life we REO agents have!

Great pic of sis! 

I had to break in to a property a few months ago via the basement window.  Thank goodness I had a partner with me that day. my beltlood got snagged on the window latch as I slipped and I was hanging and could not unlatch myself.  AH good times.

Funny story.  Would love to know where that person went and why.  Been there done that - had an agent friend go through an unlocked window.  Fortunatley it was big and at ground level. LOL!

So is your sister going to get even with you for that picture?  It is always nice when siblings grow up, remain tight, and in this case can be described as breast ... i mean best friends.
