Ever had a client request a private villa in Tuscany, only to realize they meant a treehouse in their backyard? I’ve seen it all. Just the other day, my client asked if we could arrange a butler for their condo’s elevator. Who knew the high-end life could have such a comedic twist?
It’s wild how a simple factor like a new school can shift property values so quickly. I had a listing in a neighboring area that suddenly became less desirable due to upcoming construction. Just yesterday, I was checking Zillow for similar trends — definitely keeps us on our toes! @caroline_d67, have you noticed any surprising shifts lately?
That story about the butler for the condo elevator made me laugh! I once had a client request a gourmet meal in a tent, thinking it was a luxury experience. Turns out they meant their backyard for a casual cookout.
I had a client who wanted a spa day on their yacht, but they confused it with spa services on a local farm! I think sometimes they just want the pictures to impress their friends. By the way, have you ever had a request that was so out there you couldn’t stop laughing?
