In real estate, you get to experience some crazy events.
A couple of years ago, I was selling a house for a client. He was right at the break even on an offer that we recieved. He evidentally didn't realize that he had another expense that he wasn't factoring in (not associated with the RE transaction).
Long story short, he was $3000 short to be able to close on the sale of his house. I agreed to front him the $3000 so he could make closing happen from the sale side. He was so thankful and promised to pay me back as soon as he got his first two paychecks.
The seller owned a parrot and was so thankful that I helped him get his house sold that he gave my kids the parrot. He didn't really want the parrot as he was moving into a smaller apartment and didn't have room for him.
Needless to say, the seller never paid me back and I think he gave us that Parrot just because he can be so annoying. The client was a good guy and I would do it again for him to help him get his home sold. I just don't think I would take the Parrot again.

He sounds even more lovely now that you've gone to hard floors rather than carpet. :)
