Real Estate Open House Horror Stories: Share Your Experiences

Well, once I went to an open house where there was a really strange smell. It was like a mix of old food and something rotting. Turns out the owner had a hidden rat problem in the attic. It was so gross and made the whole experience awful.

I once had a coordinator who double - booked viewings. It was a nightmare. The seller was furious as they had prepared the house twice for different potential buyers at the same time. It made the whole process look unprofessional and almost cost us the sale.

A friend of mine had an open house where they found a hidden room. Inside the room, there were some really strange markings on the walls. It was like some kind of cult - like symbols. Everyone was really freaked out and left immediately. It was a really big mystery and made the house seem very unappealing.

There was this real estate agent who was dealing with a very difficult client. The client seemed normal at first, but as the process went on, they started making strange demands and acting erratically. They would call the agent at all hours of the night and threaten to back out of the deal if their demands weren't met. The agent was constantly on edge, fearing for their reputation and safety. Eventually, they had to cut ties with the client, but it was a very nerve - wracking experience.

Well, there's this story about a haunted house in a small town. People said that at night, you could see a figure in white moving around in the attic. A group of brave teens decided to check it out. When they got inside, the doors slammed shut on their own. They heard creaking noises all around them. One of them even felt something touch their shoulder. They quickly found a way out and never went back again. In haunted houses, such inexplicable events are what make them truly terrifying.

Once I was camping near a lake. At night, I heard strange splashing sounds. I thought it was just a fish at first. But then the splashing got closer and closer to the shore. I peeked out of my tent and saw a large, dark shape moving in the water. I was so scared that I didn't sleep the whole night. In the morning, I found out it was just a log that had been floating around and got pushed to the shore by the wind.

Once, I woke up in the middle of the night and felt something tickling my face. I turned on the light and there was a huge spider right on my pillow! I screamed and jumped out of bed. I was so scared that I couldn't go back to sleep for hours.

One real - life clown horror story I heard was about a clown that would stand at the end of a street in a small town at night. People driving by would see it just staring. It was really creepy, especially as it was always in the same spot and no one knew who it was or what their intention was.

There was a real estate agent who sold a house to a family. Later, it was discovered that the house had a dark past of a murder that had been covered up. The family started experiencing strange occurrences like cold spots and doors opening on their own. The agent was then haunted by guilt and the family's distress, as he had no idea about the house's history before selling it.

I had an agent who was clearly more interested in making a quick sale than in my needs. He kept pushing me to buy a property that had obvious structural problems. When I pointed them out, he downplayed them and said it was a 'great deal' that I shouldn't pass up. He also didn't disclose all the fees involved until I was about to sign the contract.
