So, there is a phone call asking about a lease in Aliso Viejo.... I pick up the call and the caller would like to view a leased property in the area ASAP!

I said, "I will have to call you back and see if I can show it, as it is by appointment only".

[I'M THINKING.......... I HATE LEASES! WHY DID I PICK UP THE PHONE???]

"No problem, call me back please", she says....

So, nice..... OK! I will call her back after I get the info........ After all, I have an hour in between clients...

So, I call the agent and he said, "only if you can make it by 5pm and bring me a lease".

I said, "ok, let me call her because I think she is close, but not that close..."

I then call her back, she says she is in Aliso Viejo already and near the condo.

"OK", I said I will be there in 10 minutes before my 6pm appt.

We meet and she introduces her boyfriend as well........... We see the property and she said, "Can we see one

other property in Dana Point after?"

I said, "let me go online and see if it is available still..."

She said, "it is  vacant as that is what it said on the internet..."

Again, "I said, let me just check online to be sure...."

I talked to the agent and confirmed it is available...... and I rushed to Dana Point since I had to show property to a Buyer at 6pm in Aliso Viejo that I had scheduled the week before...

So, I get a check for processing/credit check/ and screening fee... I asked her what email should I send the ap to? She gives me her email address, the (lawyer) boyfriend gives me his business card and they are ready to lease, but only in her name because he just went through a bad divorce and she went through a divorce and proceeds to explain she has a tax lien on her credit, but she has a divorce decree stating that her ex paying that debt!

DING! DING@@!!! ANOTHER REASON THAT ANOTHER STRONG FICO SCORE AP WILL SUPERSEDE OUR APPLICATION!!!! 

OK, WHATEVER.......... IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS....... I send the email with the ap, she gets it and faxes it back... there are three items missing... An initial on page one, a reference missing and also a family member reference.  She then sends me the text of a reference and family member. She tells me to initial for her.... Then, she calls that the house in DP is the one she wants. Although, it is listed for $2,850.00, she would like to offer $2,400.00. That is not a little difference. THAT'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!! This is a BRAND NEW! granite kitchen, stainless steel appliance, NEVER lived in 2,000 square ft home and it is worth listed lease price. SO, KISS that one good0bye!!! (mental note!)

We fax the offer over for the lease with an attached credit report. Now, it's the waiting game!

I get a call from the agent and she said, "we are going through all the aps, but the others are at full price and the credit report is flawless and with 200k in the bank.

UH? NO! I will have her initial if they are approved.

I send over to our admin. assist and she runs credit and forwards with a cover letter to the first home in DP that they asked to see. Per potential renters (leasee) request. I get a call if we got an answer. I said, you need to wait as they are going to respond soon, as we just sent over...

OK! WELL, I WANT TO PUT IN THE AP FOR ALISO VIEJO TOO! THE AGENT ASKED TO FORWARD CREDIT AP, SO THERE WILL BE NO ADDITIONAL CREDIT FEE TO GIVE TO THAT AGENT........... She says, "well let me know, I can pay another processing fee if I need to..."

I said, "not necessary unless the agent asks for a credit fee. I will let you know...."

So, I called to follow up that they went with another ap. She says, "ok, Thanks and hangs up!"

I don't think she thinks I have any other clients, but her! Seriously???

NO PROBLEM! I called her boyfriend and gave him the information and then I sent her text telling her that if she finds a property she likes, she should go to the agent directly since it seems leases are going quick and I believe the agent is going to go with their ap before others........... you never know......

I get a text back, STATING THE FOLLOWING: "IF YOU KNOW BEST YOU WILL RETURN CHECK TO ME IMMEDIATELY BY NOON TOMORROW!"

GET THIS!@!!!

IF NOT, SHE WILL BLOG ABOUT CA COASTAL ESTATES AND REPORT ME TO THE BOARD OF REALTORS!!! (THIS IS THE PROCESSING/SCREENING AND CREDIT REPORT FEE, SHE IS REFERRING TO THAT HER BOYFRIEND PAID! NOT HER!!! AND WE PROCESSED TWO APS!

NOW! YOU ALL TELL ME!!! WHERE IS IT MY FAULT THAT SHE DID NOT GET THE LEASE!!!!!!!!!! ????????????/

NOW! BARTENDER! MAKE IT A DOUBLE!!!!!!!!

Have you ever noticed how the people that are in a big rush, always seem to have some major flaw they forget to tell you about until the last minute.  The big red flag should have been the big rush they were in to get this done.  Sorry you wasted your time and I hope you don't have to refund the application fee.

Endre, what a waste of time and again! lesson learned! She mentioned that she had great credit and of course mentioned the tax lien after the fact!!! And I also keep that in mind.... and take them occasionally because they will buy later and all... AGH! I think I will just NOT roll the dice again on renters! and just stay out of it! as Bryan #1 said.......... what a nut bag!

thanks Doug! We processed and ran the credit she will not get one penny back! She can blog all she wants and if she writes anything beyond truth! She will get a lawsuit for slander! She has no idea who she is messing with! I am an angel, but when someone is out of line! I will handle on principal! alone! Darn! I should have paid attention on the red flags!

Liz, I think that people don't realize that most companies don't even have the resource to run credit! Most Realtors that have the listing ask to INCLUDE the credit report. That's why I didn't have to ask for additional money for the second lease. They wanted me to email credit with ap. since we have the resource to pull credit for leases.

Your in the right. Thats why the only leases that i do is the commercial type. This way the upside is much better and the tenants are more savy ( most of the time)

Yep Lauren, it is all your fault. You obviously were the reason she failed to pay her taxes and that both her and her boyfriend are divorced. Oh, and that she cant decide, offered too low on a brand new place thus losing it. Heck, you mean person for not charging her, no her boyfriend, twice. You scheming salesperson you!

These people always find a way to blame others, it is their talent. You are way too responsible for these folks. :) Blog all she wants, we will back you up!

We have a community moving van and every once in a while get yelled at because of our policies on its use. Sorry folks, it is still our van and no, you are NOT entitled to use our property just because you are being evicted and don't want to follow our rules (really, a drivers license is a requirement and not a suggestion).

Stay strong and trust your gut instinct. Sometimes running out the door without our usual qualifying questions bites us (ok, more often than not).

Thanks Mike~ I honestly have to say I have NEVER~ had a negative situation with my Commercial clients. They really DO know what they want! Plus, we usually get 5-10 years+ for the lease term... So nice! Thanks for the support~

Jacque~ Larry, but I know it's you Jacque, I love the sarcasm! I miss your comments! No more neglect please... LOL~

I also appreciate your support~ one really needs to >>> step back and ask yourself, "IS IT ME>?" Really.... knowing the answer, but at the same time, questioning.... Are people serious? Is this really happening? Do I need to pinch myself? I am not joking! 

I guess I should have told you all in the blog that my response to the text was>>>

HAVE A NICE DAY! I WILL PRAY FOR YOU TONIGHT AND GOD BLESS! 

What is one to respond to that.... ???? 

I really think people underestimate US PROFESSIONALS!!! I always want to say... Nothing surprises me, but WOAH! on this one......

Thank you, thank you for the advice and too bad people take advantage of your marketing van... As the saying goes... "you give an inch and they want a yard!" 

SHE HAS NO IDEA IT'S RAINING OVER HERE AT CA COASTAL ESTATES... WITH BUYERS! REAL RE-BLOGGING AND BUSINESS! HA!

Lauren, what a horrible story. Yes, running credit first is a must with renters. I can't believe the nerve... oh wait, yes I can....

Good repsonse to the text! So did she respond to that at all?

This is exactly why most agents don't get involved with rentals / leases. I take them sometimes, but even the ones that are successful and go rather smoothly, I hardly make any money on them and they are almost not worth it.

I'm thinking you need a whole room full of bartenders because one bartender is just not going to be enough.

Happy Thursday!

Mike~ she didn't respond to it... It's like>>> what can she say... at that point??? Today I was blessed with a 1.195 mln dollar buyer... I will take a deep breath on the lease (that I tried to be helpful with.... ), but to no avail... and Just focus on MY Buyers and Sellers... and as you said... "we hardy make money on them anyway... but what I thought was 45 minutes of work to be almost $800- plus a happy renter... NOT!

Oh Sheila~ isn't that the truth!!!?!! How the heck did I hear that call come in with the noise that was going on in my house on Monday~??? I keep asking myself.... Again, it was a LIVE & LEARN! A frustrated lesson!

Yep, you got me! I almost googled you to see if she started a mean blog. She is messing with the wrong puddle jumpers (AR family) here! :)

I do love the text you sent back to her. Really, what COULD she say to that? It probably ruined her evening and she is still trying to figure a response to it. 

We have been really busy (definitely a good thing) and have had friends and family (from both sides) visiting so I have been a bit neglectful. I am sorry. Still here though, just plinking along in the free minutes I can catch. 

This one (make it a double) may qualify for a glass like the ones in the Vegas hotel rooms...the jetted tub kind.

Just think of it this way, sometimes the lessons most easily learned are from something that went wrong. It helps to keep us on our toes.

Still your fans, Jacque & Larry

Jacque & Larry, you all are the best!! I agree with you, keeping one our toes and building character ;)

I too had visitors.... chaotic house it was! I had a niece from Chicago and then my niece from Vegas and if that wasn't enough... another two nephews came too! Did the Disneyland days, beach and I made the boys do a conditioning camp with my son ;) The house looked like a tornado hit, especially since it hit prior for some remodeling... it's still not in order... no time to breathe~

GOOD NEWS! THOUGH.... I am actually going to Alaska for the first time with friends that invited us to go.... I believe Spring time... taking a cruise out of WA~. I will keep you posted... Got ARup when I go... ;) 

Have a great night and thanks for the support on this one ;)

Lauren that is awesome! We will have to connect with you when you come up. If nothing else though (because time can be SO limiting on vacation, at least let us know what kind of info to send you so you can plan the land trips. We keep a little bayliner in Whittier where many cruise ships come in so we know that area (and the fishing spots really well. :)

I do know many of the spots to get the best deals on gifts and tourist type of things too... Keep up posted and give us some hints on what you may need for the trip planning. We would love to help! We also have some awesome friends moving to Hoonah (outside of Juneau) that would help get some local info of that area too. 

Yeah! I am so excited that you are getting to see our neck of the woods. It is beautiful and SO worth the trip.
