So there I was, planting some bougainvillea in the front yard, when a Realtor showed up with two people in tow. They went into the house, looked around for a while and came back out. I chitchatted with them for a few moments (they didn't like cypress, I said I could shape it as an elephant, blah blah blah). All innocuous stuff.
I then read their feedback (the realtor is supposed to provide feedback after a showing, and it's done via a website). They said the place was too big, and they didn't like the neighbor and didn't like the neighborhood. I didn't get it, our conversation was bland, and why would they call me the neighbor? Maybe the hired help, but neighbor (they saw my truck in the garage).
Then I got it: two of the neighbors on the block are African American. Those people were racists complaining about our integrated neighborhood!!
Hard to believe there's still crackers like that out there.

the part about the house being too big is crap to mask their racism.
they had to know ahead of time how big it was.
it's amazing how ignorant so many people still are these days.
Best of luck selling the house. It looks amazing!
