To doo or not to doo - Richmond Hill, Ga Real Estate
My kids are always asking for things they "need". I hear they need iPads and I hear they need new clothes or shoes. As humans, there are a few basic necessities that we actually "need". Food, shelter, coffee and... a bathroom.
As the lead agent on a successful Real Estate Team, The Randy Bocook Team, I probably get to show more homes than the very vast majority of agents in the Savannah, GA suburb town, Richmond Hill. Basically, I help people find shelter. Thankfully, the majority of these shelters have bathrooms as well! I often find myself showing homes to families with children of all ages. I've learned there is a phenomenon that most children are afflicted with when looking at homes. The phenomenon involves the need to use the restroom of what seems like every home they set foot in!
There is no harsher laxative to a child than the absolute absence of toilet tissue. Kids have bladders like camels until they smell the freshly cleaned restroom of a newly listed home. One of my Richmond Hill colleagues recently had to carry her young son along with her to show homes. The young lad, well into his potty-training and quite proud of this fact, let his mom know he had to go "number one". So he did... In a foreclosure home... which had been winterized. Luckily, there was just enough water in the tank to flush. However, unluckily for mom and client, after the child finished, he was struck... with the need to go... "number two". No child who is the potty-training age can hold it either.
The remedy to this situation involved neighbors, borrowed paper, a bucket of water and a very understanding client.
Be honest. It's happened to all of us. When a person or persons come into town to look at homes, they are off their game so to speak. They eat out at restaurants, they are sleeping at a hotel in a strange bed and it's just not their routine. So I find it happens quite often that someone will ask if I think the homeowner will mind if they used the restroom. Sometimes they are quite embarrassed. Even more so when they fail to notice the lack of toilet tissue in new construction homes.
My "Real Estate Survival Kit" includes toilet tissue for just that reason. I learned long ago that clients appreciate me keeping handy these few things: a tape measure, a flashlight and a roll of toilet paper.
