That's a lot of hats

The Wall Street Journal's June Fletcher reports that home buyers and sellers these days are asking real estate agents to perform a variety of tasks -- including some very menial ones -- that would have been out of the question during the boom years.

"Both buyers and sellers are demanding more from their brokers, and getting it," the article states, with some exceptions.

There are examples of agents asked to pick up doggy doo, remove goldfish from an indoor tank, pet-sit a pair of rats, scrub floors, vacuum flies, and retrieve a set of false teeth, among other requests. (Disclaimer: The agents complied with most -- but not all -- of the request listed here.)

Any stories you care to share about instances in which you went high above and way beyond your typical level of service to accommodate their clients?
