San Antonio Real Estate Agent Escapes With Her Life From Client Attack

Posted: 27 Dec 2010 04:25 AM PST

A San Antonio real estate agent barely escaped with her life after being abducted at a home that she was showing by a potential client. The agent was attacked while showing a million dollar home in a gated subdivision when she was attacked.

The client turned on her and started beating her with a stick. The man then started driving the agent to her bank to withdraw four thousand dollars when she made a daring escape in the middle of traffic.

Sgt. Charles Campbell says the agent was showing a man property in a gated community that features multi-million dollar custom homes when the man beat her with a stick and demanded $4,000.

Folks, remember that times are tough. Now I do not know if the potential client matched the demographic of people buying in a gated subdivision of million dollar homes, but I would be very surprised if they did. Odds are it was the agent got their hopes up that they may get that last big deal before the end of the year.

If your potential buyer does not align with the home you are selling, take precautions. No commission is worth your life.
