One of my friends on Facebook shared this video today - after picking myself up off the floor and wiping the tears from my eyes I just HAD to share this with everyone I could:
Unfortunately, the feeling is dangerously close to the mark when dealing with the agents & "banks" that are putting foreclosures on the market today. I must say though, that most of the time buying a foreclosure isn't this ridiculous, the attitude portrayed here occurs often enough that I'll wager most who view this video can identify with it at some point.
Enjoy - and hope you don't have to deal with the bot on the right side of the screen!
Should you be looking to buy a home and foreclosures are a part of the mix of properties you're looking at - make sure your agent is experienced in representing buyers of REO (bank-owned) properties - Know what to look out for! Over half of my practice in the past 18 months has involved foreclosures.

I saw this last week when my co-worker posted it and it was featured in ActiveRain. I am glad to say that we represent bank owned properties but it never happens this way when you work with us!
Christianne - most of the folks I've dealt with concerning bank- or lender-owned properties are good to deal with, however there are enough similar to these characters that this video strikes a nerve!
Brandi - hope you reached your 'bot...or found another property!
