Locked Out

We decided to put our house up for sale since we will have to move when Kaelub goes to PA school. Last Saturday our realator asked if he could show our house around 3. We told him that was fine and left. Now, we have had people come through to look at it a few times and have never had any problems. So when we came home at 5 we were surprised to find ourselves locked out. The realator had even locked our inside garage door! We do have more than the one key that was in the lock box, but we brought Kaelub's set of keys with us and his is the one in the box. So our other house keys were stuck inside with us outside--brilliant! We tried to call our realator and he wouldn't answer his cell or office phone. We got his home number from the secretary at the office and his wife said she would call him. Still, no luck. So we went and did some errands, went to dinner, washed both vehicles, and still tried to get ahold of our realator so he could open the lock box and let us into our house. It was now 9 pm---4 hours later--and Eli was not happy. He had missed his afternoon nap because we had to leave at 3, and his bedtime is usually 8. We probably called the realator over 100 times and sent him text messages. Even his wife couldn't reach him---hate to be in her shoes if she had an emergency! Then I remembered that our bishop was a realator and he might be able to help us out. (Too bad it took me 4 hours to remember this fact.) Anyway, he was at our house in about 15 min. and we got in. Thank goodness for him! We are now thinking of finding a new realator.....he still has not called us back.
