Eveyone knows Estate agents are warm hearted, considerate souls, so it came as a surprise (ahem) to hear that one had recently shown a prospective tenent round a house here in our lovely area while the owner of the home was laying on her sofa dead in late June this year.
The Estate agent ignored the body on the sofa and showed the person round the house, his excuse for not going near the corpse was that "I thought she was asleep".
I dont know about you but if I saw a deathly pale blue lipped body laying stock still on a sofa and not moving one inch the whole time I was there and had been stepping over it to show the prospect the Market view from the window I would begin to wonder.
Gosh, I might have even tried to gently wake her upon entering just to be polite. But no, our 'agent' wanted a quick sell and didnt give the lady a second glance.
Another thing, people often soil themselves when they die, had the Estate agent just put this down to the place needing 'a good tidy up'? its not hard to know the smell of death as anyone who has ever smelt rotten meat can attest (be it from an human or animal body or even just an old out of date steak (meat smells the same but without the extra body soiling stench), its a smell you dont forget because it 'hurts' the nose.
So well done to the divvy Estate agent and his sales targets.
