Open houses might look calm from the outside — a sign in the yard, a clean living room, maybe some cookies on the counter.
But if you ask any realtor what really goes down behind the scenes?
Yeah… that’s where the stories live.
In this episode of Behind the Beards, Nate and Josh open up about some of the strangest, funniest, and most unexpected moments they’ve ever walked into at an open house or showing.
One moment you’re unlocking what you think is an empty property… and suddenly six grown adults pop up off the couch like a real-life Wack-a-Mole. Another day, you’re navigating a pandemic-era frenzy with over 175 people squeezing through the door — and agents quietly pulling you aside begging for a deal. And then there’s the agent who decided to “borrow” someone else’s open house to pick up buyers of her own.
Real estate gets weird, fast.
But mixed in with the chaos is the real heart of the job: connecting with people. As Nate shares, not everyone who walks through the door is a client — but the ones who stop, ask questions, and start that conversation often turn into long-term relationships and referrals.
This episode is all about:
- The craziest surprises waiting behind an open house door
- The ethics (and drama) agents deal with during showings
- Why clear communication and curiosity make the best clients
- What buyers never see from the realtor’s side
- The human side of working in real estate, where every day is different
