So I get this lead sent to my phone from Trulia. As a good agent, I responded the second I got it. A female answers the phone, although a male name was on the lead. So I asked for the gentleman, and she said he was busy right now. I responded that he had just called me on a property he was interested in. She said she could talk to me about it.
So I engaged in telling her about the property. She went on to tell me she made a LOT of money in a short amount of time with their business. $40K And, she wanted to put that down and pay the balance off in another 30 days and not involve a bank. Roughly another $30-40K. Hmmm.
I told her that was possible. Kind of a short-long term escrow if you will. When I asked for the email again to verify, lets just say "smoke effects" was implied. Again, I think. Hmmm. Must have a hell of a tobacco discount store going.(right? lol) ok, got everything I need, shoot her some listings. But before I could follow up, I surprisingly met my potential clients.
Unfortunately, it was on the evening news. OMG! There they were. Spice store busted. Their faces and names blown up on the big screen on the 5 o'clock news. Store shut down, $45k in cash confiscated, 3 arrest's. That's a first for me. Have never met potential client/customer that way. I won't say where or who to protect the innocent until proven guilty. But wow, how bizarre is that?
Guess I won't be hearing back on that lead. :-) I think they're going to be a little short on cash.
