I know of another agent who discovered people in bed during a showing but they were very much alive. :)

It's sad that this 55 year old woman could be dead 2-3 weeks and that it had to be discovered by a home buyer.

Crazy story.

and I was worried about walking in on people showering.  You got that beat.

That's bizarre! I guess they didn't buy the home!?

Wow.... Thought we had heard everything, but that tops all. it is ashame that someone would not be missed in 2 or 3 weeks.

....so much for any future seller's disclosures on this one. Did the homeowner convey with the property?

LOL...Phil you are not right!

Phil is always thinking about real estate!

Some people will do anything to get out of a listing

The house wasn't getting too many showings if the seller wasn't discovered for several weeks, price was probably a little high :)

That was my thoughts too Howard.  Obviously the agent didn't keep in contact with the seller!

You would of thought that maybe after not being able to get a hold of the seller, if the agent even bothered.....that maybe the agent would of gone to check on the seller themselves?  Guess not!

I call my sellers once a week.  I'd say if I couldn't reach them after a few days of trying, I'd go take a drive over there to make sure things were ok.

I agree that it is really sad that a person would not be missed for 2-3 weeks.  She must have felt so alone.

My first thought was -- How horrible! It must have been traumatic to experience something like this.

Then I thought of a joke to lighten up the situation -- Aside for that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?

Then I thought (and this I am ashamed of) - An investment opportunity!

But, going back to my first thought, which was much more humane -- that's sad.

Gee talk about ways of getting out of a listing agreement!

That was one Un-lucky stiff!!!

...and where was the agent while the buyers were walking through the house?

"standing in the dining room" ??? ... funny way to show a prospective buyer a home they are considering buying.

The agent should be ashamed of themselves. 3 weeks with no contact. After one week of calls and no return, I would have went over and checked on the home owner.

That is just amazing!

I agree, Todd.  But...did she have any family?

I read about a similar situation but it was two months!  During the summer.....the Post Office called the police because she wasn't retrieving her mail at her PO Box.  She had a daughter.

Now that's sad.
