Real Estate Adventures with Laura and Hans: “The Open House Surprise”

🏡 Real Estate Adventures with Laura and Hans: “The Open House Surprise”

Open houses are meant to be about showing off a beautiful property—not monitoring for unexpected swimmers.

But in real estate, you learn to expect the unexpected.

In today’s comic strip episode of Real Estate Adventures with Laura and Hans, our favorite bowtie-wearing watchdog uncovers a splashy surprise.

🛎 Panel 1: Open House Ready

The sun was shining, the cookies were baking, and everything was perfectly staged.

“Let’s make this place shine!” I said, adjusting the last throw pillow.
Hans sniffed the air, wearing his best bowtie.
“Smells like cookies… and trouble,” he warned.

Spoiler alert: He was right.

💦 Panel 2: The Splash Heard ’Round the House

Just as potential buyers were walking through the living room, we heard it—
SPLASH.

Hans’ ears perked up.
“Did you hear that?”
Yes, yes we did.

🏊 Panel 3: The Pool Intruder

We hurried outside and found a fully grown adult, soaking wet, emerging from the pool like it was their private cabana.

“I thought it was public!” they said, completely unfazed.
“It’s not,” I replied as calmly as possible.

(Yes, this actually happens more than you’d believe.)

🐾 Panel 4: Cleanup Crew, Reporting for Duty

I handed the adult a towel and tried not to ruin the vibe.
Hans squinted, eyes narrowed in full security mode.
“Pool patrol, activated,” he growled.
“You’re hired,” I told him.

Honestly, every open house needs a Hans.

🎯 Why This Matters (Even if You’re Not Wet)

Hosting an open house isn’t just about pretty brochures—it’s about protecting your property, managing guests, and handling anything that might happen (even impromptu cannonballs).

If you’re selling your home, you want a realtor who goes above and beyond—preferably one with four legs and a nose for trouble.

📲 Selling your home in Auburn or Opelika?
Let’s host a memorable (and professional) open house—with no unexpected swimmers.
Contact Laura Sellers today—and yes, Hans is part of the deal.
