So, picture this: I’ve been living in this duplex for over a decade, and the place has seen its fair share of owners and management companies. The house is up for sale again, and they’ve been setting up showings for potential buyers. Here’s where it gets weird – this dude shows up unannounced the other day, trying to fiddle with the keybox (can’t prove it, but come on). He starts knocking on doors and snooping around the house like he owns the place. I go outside to confront him, and he drops the bomb that he “didn’t have a key yet.” When I ask if he bought the house, he mumbles something about the sale being pending.
This guy starts grilling me about all sorts of stuff, including the neighbor’s driveway, which he claims belongs to the property I live in. Newsflash: it doesn’t. I politely set him straight, but he keeps on about how letting the neighbors use the driveway could land him in legal trouble. Buddy, I’ve got my own driveway and garage, why would I want yours? I stay civil, but he’s clearly miffed that I’m not rolling out the welcome mat.
Fast forward to today, and Mr. Pushy shows up again. This time, he goes over to the neighbors, knocking on their door and demanding proof that they own the house and the driveway. The neighbors, bless their souls, try to defuse the situation by offering to work with his realtor, but this guy just won’t let it go. He’s like a dog with a bone, relentless in his quest to claim what isn’t his.
I’ve had it up to here with this guy’s shenanigans. If he dares to show his face around here again, I’m calling for a trespassing order quicker than you can say “realtor.” This whole situation has me feeling like I need to let off some steam, maybe with a good old scream into a pillow session.
So, here’s the plan: I’m reporting this dude to the Realty company tomorrow, but I’m wondering if there’s anything else I should be doing to deal with this nutjob. Is it normal for potential buyers to act like they own the place before the ink is even dry on the sale papers? Any advice from folks who’ve been through something similar would be greatly appreciated. I’m just trying to make sense of this madness and not let it ruin my
