    In 50's to 60's several realtors (all women) were killed in vacant houses all across NM. A couple were straight up missing and later found in the trunks of their cars in other locations.Other's were never found. My uncle (who was the chief of police in our town. Now retired and in his 90's) has always held that we had a serial killer roaming about the state. He tried going to the state police, who wouldn't help. He even went to the FBI for help, but was refused because they said the area was too big for one serial killer. He got so frustrated he left law enforcement entirely and went back to college and got his law degree and never looked back. I tried looking up the murders with help of Tony Hillerman (a prominent author here and an expert on old New Mexico crimes) and my uncle, but we could only find information on 2 of at least 7 to 9 murders or straight up disappearances. 😓 There was just nothing remaining except an occasional news article. It was so damn frustrating. But it totally put me off EVER wanting to be a realator or even going to look at houses alone without my husband. Walking in to someone else's abode is incredibly dangerous and you don't even think twice about it till something like that happens.

      Are realtors in NM allowed to be armed with a pistol? An armed and trained female realtor can then at least have a chance to defend herself.

      Rapes and murders happened with women real estate agents here in the Houston area in the 80’s, mainly in new homes. Men and women were then partnered up, since then I don’t recall there being a problem.

      So, it was never put together and it was never publicized as a disturbing string of lady-realtor murders and women doing realty work didn't even know they were at risk? That really was a different era.

      @@rodneykingston6420 yeah, back then different jurisdictions didn't share information like they do today. These days there's all different kind of computer algorithms that strings crimes together faster than humans can put together 2+2, because humans are naturally territorial with their information.

    3:58 This kind of thing is unfortunately a common danger in real estate. You could be attacked. You could be killed. It could be from whatever freak is hiding inside waiting or even an innocent "client" showing up for a listing. This is exactly why my mom only works with private buyers now, the danger is very real.

    I was looking for my first house, but homes in my price range were scarce. The realtor informed me it needed a new roof. Okay, not really a big deal. We go through the house. I opened a bedroom closet and there was no back wall. I was looking at the hillside behind the house. To this day I can't decide if the wall had fallen in or the previous tenants had decided to make the back porch the closet and didn't bother closing it in.
    I didn't buy it. Good thing, too because a few years later it was demolished by the city.

    Reminds me of this one house I saw years ago. It was being rented out and the renter was housing kids and getting paid for each child. They wanted to buy the house but couldn’t afford the asking price. Went to view the house, nobody was supposed to be there, instead the renters were there and all 8 kids they were housing were there. The house itself was a mess and there was one room we weren’t even allowed in because the kid that had the room was severely disabled and bedridden with tubes and such. Also turned out the renters added adhesives to the windows, windowsill, in ground pool and other parts of the house to make them look like they in disrepair (learned this months later).

    The one ending by noting we’d be surprised at how people live reminds me of something a late friend shared. Close to where we live are some apartments that seem to be very nice. However, our friend knew about an apartment that was having to be thoroughly cleaned. What happened was the guy who had rented it couldn’t be bothered to take his dog out (As far as we know there weren’t any health issues involved; the guy just couldn’t be bothered to take his dog out). As a result, the floors had become heavily stained with urine and feces. There may have been other contamination issues resulting from this as well. The carpet and padding had to be completely replaced and I’m sure other things had to be done too.

    I’m not a realtor, but my husband and I were the ones looking to buy. We had seen a few, but one looked perfect from the outside, so we all went in. There was a renter currently in the home, that would do different things to deter a buyer. Our realtor filled us in, before entering. It needed updating and painting, but the price was low enough to compensate. The renter knew we were coming in advance, and was asked to leave for an hour. The renter didn’t! As we walked through, we saw the door closed to the master suite, and as the realtor opened the door, the renter was standing there pleasuring himself, with spewing all over the floor and wall! He must’ve done this several times, and we noped right out of there! He won, no one bought it by the time we settled on another home.

    I used to repair homes that had been foreclosed, in one the guy had disassembled a v8 engine in the living room, emptying the oil all over the carpet and left disassembled parts throughout the house. In another the folks removed items from the attic by knocking out the garage ceiling. In another the folks took a baseball bat and broke holes in the walls between every, that’s correct every, stud in every room in the house.

    Looking at a place, going through the garage, all normal. Except that looks like a great Halloween decoration of a big ol' rat, left on top of a box. Only, you know what I'm about to discover. It was real, of course, a very big, healthy until he died, Rat.
    Poor agent was mortified, and I didn't think it was so bad, but I still didn't want to live in a rat house.

    We were buying a condo a while back and when it came time to close, the seller never showed. His realtor made frantic call after frantic call to try to figure out where the seller was at. Turned out he went on a trip to the Bahamas. I guess that's one way of cancelling a sale.

    I looked at an apartment on Nob Hill in San Francisco. The agent showed me an apartment that had a solid layer of dead cockroaches on the floor and counters. Even the bathtub was full of them! Guess they felt the neighborhood was so desirable people wouldn't care.

    Back in my 20's looking at apartments, I meet with the landlord, who lives next door. She took me to the top floor apartment where a couple of girls were getting ready to move out. It was a great 2 bedroom apartment, and we both pretend not to notice that in one of the bedrooms a big old vibrator is laying in the middle of the bed, which was just a mattress on the floor. As we are leaving the house, one of these girls comes in the front gate and briefly chats with the landlord, and I'm even introduced as I've pretty much agreed to take the apartment and the girl then goes in and upstairs and all the while I'm thinking, in a few seconds, when she goes in her bedroom, she's going to be so mortified. Hell, maybe she wasn't.

      The trick is to live in a small town before a pandemic. Once everyone started to realize they could work remotely, they moved inland from the coast, selling +million dollar homes and buying up $500 000 or less here. Now, everyone here is selling upwards of $800 000 for Plain Jane structures. One nearby my place sold for $1 200 000. 4 bed, heated in-ground pool and finished, detached shop/garage. Would have cost half that three years ago. Glad I bought my house when I did :P
