Real Estate Agent Breaks In And Holds Open House At Home That Is Not For Sale

The invention of video doorbells has allowed people to keep an eye on their homes while they are away at work.

A woman who goes by @busymomonli on TikTok shared a video that showed a real estate agent breaking in and attempting to sell her house—that wasn't for sale—while nobody was home!

She received an alert on her phone through her video doorbell app that someone had rung the bell.

This was strange to her as she was not expecting anyone to come to the house that day.

Despite no cars in the driveway and nobody coming to answer the door, the man waited.

It looked as though he was clearly expecting that someone would answer the door.

The homeowner really did not like the fact that so many people she didn't know were at her house.

She activated the alarm remotely which caused them to stop briefly and look up.

She thought that they would leave, but instead, the man went around to the back door and went through the house and let them in.

The group spent close to 20 minutes in the home before leaving.

The Police Arrive

The woman called the police when she saw the people entering her home. The police and the homeowner arrived just as the man was pulling out of the driveway.

The woman learned that he was a real estate agent who was showing people her home. The only issue was that their home was not listed for sale.

In a follow-up video, the woman explained that the real estate agent was supposed to show the house next to hers.

The man said that in his 27-year career, he had never made this big of a mistake.

How Did He Get In?

The homeowner explained that the realtor got into the house because their back door was unlocked as their teenage son tends to leave it unlocked.

The owner of the house the agent was supposed to show next door had left the backdoor unlocked as well since he was not going to be home for the showing. Another example of how this was one very strange mixup!
