True Real Estate Stories: from Haunted Houses to Naughty Neighbours

Editor: Tom Everitt

Sandhill Book Marketing Ltd. | October 19, 2007 | Trade Paperback

Eerie, quirky and fun! When a husband and wife real estate agent team begin telling their (true) story of discovering a World War II tombstone in the backyard while landscaping their new house, they also discover a whole world of oddities experienced by others in their industry. Since then, they have scoured the globe to find the most unusual real estate tales and have compiled them in this highly entertaining book. From bodies in the basement to buried bombs in the garden, from peeping neighbours to poltergeists and hidden money, this collection of stories will startle and delight. The anthology contains 69 true real estate stories from around the world. One is about a real estate agent who took a client to view a property only to discover the owner, dressed in her wedding dress, on the verge of death from an overdose of Valium. In another, a client searches for a home in Greece. The mostly likely prospect boasts a brand new roof until the prospective buyer discovers the new roof tiles stacked neatly on pallets on the kitchen floor. The authors, both film buffs, have given each story a movie title and organized them according to film genres.

A very satisfying read

I was recommended this book by a friend who knew we just bought a house. I thought the stories were great. This is the kind of book that you can read one or two before you go to bed (not the true ghost stories though!!). Great stuff.

It's a very good and easy read. Some stories are absolutely insane.
