We are all strangers to each other, whether you are buying a home or selling one. As a realtor, I meet people searching for Delaware homes (like you), and most of them have been great! But I’ve had a few experiences that are kind of… unique but very insightful for me and, possibly, for you as a buyer.

My name's Amanda, and let me share one of my unforgettable encounters when I first started as a realtor.

The Meeting

So this client that I met was a nice guy when he came in here at Loft. He said he was a Zillow lead and a doctor and refused to elaborate. I don’t remember exactly the details of the doctor part, but one thing I do know is that he was flashy. Like, he had a beautiful car and all of this stuff.

Then, he expressed that he wanted to see many beautiful homes in North Wilmington. Of course, he was one of my first clients when I started at Loft. And so, I went in and hopped on that train to go and see these gorgeous homes for him to see.

A Personal... Proposal?

However, the events did take a turn when we went to one home. As I showed him the unit, he told me a little bit about himself. And what I mean is, a bit more.

He started sharing personal details you don't usually need to tell your realtor. He even proposed to me. 

Yes, you heard that right. He proposed.

Here’s his story. He told me that he was divorcing his wife. Now, he had already bought another ring and was willing to give it to whoever would date him for the next month.

And he asked me if I would be that person. To keep things professional, I did politely decline. 

Behind the Act

And so, we got him and his desired home under contract. You know the process; we checked his credit scores and financial situation in detail to find the best solution that fits his needs. But we found out a staggering truth.

All the flashiness I saw when he pulled up to that first showing was a lie. He was a compulsive liar!

So, the moral of this story is, “Don't judge a book by its flashy cover, or accept a proposal from a random stranger at the showing."

And here at Loft, rest assured that we keep things professional and confidential. Contact us today at Hello@LoftRealtyDE.com, and we’ll gladly guide you in buying your next home here in Delaware—no proposals needed!
