What are the common elements in realtor client horror stories?

One horror story is when a realtor promised a client a beautiful ocean - view property. But when the client moved in, they found out that the view was blocked by a newly - constructed building. The realtor had known about the upcoming construction but didn't disclose it.

One realtor had a client who was a young entrepreneur. The client wanted a home that could also double as an office space. The realtor searched high and low and finally found a modern townhouse with a separate room that could be easily converted into an office. The realtor also helped the client with zoning regulations to make sure they could run their business from home legally.

In many photography client horror stories, over - demanding clients are a common factor. They ask for excessive retouching, way beyond what was agreed upon. Another element is clients who are not punctual. This throws off the photographer's schedule and might mean missing the best lighting or the perfect backdrop. Also, miscommunication about the deliverables is quite common. For instance, the client might think they are getting all the raw files as well as the edited ones, while the photographer only planned to provide the edited ones according to the contract.

One common horror story is realtors not being honest about property conditions. For example, hiding mold problems. Another is inflating the property value just to get a higher commission. It makes buyers overpay.

Late payments are a common theme. Clients may delay payments for various reasons, like financial difficulties of their own or simply trying to avoid paying. Another is excessive micromanagement where clients interfere too much in the process.

One common element is unrealistic expectations. Clients often bring in pictures of models with perfect lighting and airbrushing and expect the exact same look. Another is being late like in the bridal makeup example. It throws off the artist's schedule. And of course, the indecisiveness of clients who can't decide on a look.

A common one is clients being late. They book an appointment but show up half an hour or even an hour late. This throws off the nail tech's schedule for the whole day. For example, if there are other clients booked after, it can cause a domino effect of delays.

One common horror story is when a hairstylist completely misinterprets what the client wants. For example, the client asks for a trim to keep the length but ends up with hair several inches shorter. Another is when the color turns out horribly wrong, like asking for a natural blonde but getting a brassy orange instead. And then there are those times when the stylist is rough with the hair, causing a lot of pain during the process.

One common element is old houses. Most realtor ghost stories seem to involve properties that are quite old, like Victorian or colonial - style homes. These old buildings often have a long history and may have had many previous owners, which could contribute to the idea of ghosts. Another common element is strange noises. Realtors often report hearing things like footsteps, whispers, or doors slamming when no one else is around.

Poor hygiene in the salon can also be a horror story. I heard of a client who found hair from a previous client still in the sink when they were about to get their hair washed. It made the client feel really disgusted and question the overall cleanliness of the salon.
