Vent: Showed up to a "vacant" house last Tuesday and found a family still living there

Got a call from a guy who said his aunt's house needed to be sold ASAP. Said it was empty, keys were under the mat. I drove 45 minutes out to this place in Bakersfield, walk in the front door, and there's a kid eating cereal at the kitchen table. Mom comes out screaming at me. Turns out the nephew never even told them he was trying to sell it. I just apologized and left. Has anyone else dealt with family drama like this messing up a listing?

45 minutes each way for a free bowl of cereal sounds like a win to me.

Have you factored in gas and wear and tear on your car for that 90 minute round trip, or are you walking?

Why didn't you call the nephew back before driving out there?
