The flowers were reportedly sent just hours after the agent cold called the widow to ask her to sell her home. 9News
Several hours later, a large bouquet of white flowers arrived at the woman's home in Melbourne's north-west, accompanied with a note reading, "I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your husband"."It brought back a lot of memories of my father's death and funeral," she said.
The daughter said she personally felt conflicted about the gestures, but felt that the flowers were "a step too far". "Getting a card is one thing, but a bunch of flowers is usually reserved for people who knew the deceased or their family well, not some random person who rang in the morning and sent flowers by 2pm."It felt so strange and odd to me."Others had a stronger reaction when the daughter posted about the gesture in a Melbourne thread on online forum Reddit."Real estate agents are sharks," another said.
