Help ME to Help YOU Find the Palm Beach Real Estate that You Really Want

I don't mean to go off on a rant (with apologies to Dennis Miller) -

BUT......

And I do realize that you have to take the good with the BAD not-so-good -

BUT......

Let's go over 2 recent Customer contacts that I have had.

Both want to buy real estate in Palm Beach Gardens, one doesn't need a mortgage the other one isn't sure.

Easy so far -

Customer 1: I'm looking to buy a home -

Me: Fantastic - let's go over your specific wants / needs and we'll take it from there-

Customer 1: It's going to be for me, my wife and 2 children.  We want a single family home, 4 bedrooms would be perfect.  We'd need a 2 car garage, a pool would be nice, but not necessary.  The quality of the local schools is very important, so I'll need as much information on them as possible.  Close to shopping and the beaches would be great and I really don't want to pay more then $600,000.  I'm currently selling my home, but that won't interfere with the new purchase.  Oh yeah - I'll be able to pay cash so financing won't be a concern.  Do you need anything else?

With a tear in my eye I said "No, that pretty much covers the basics.".  I quickly found several homes and we set a time to meet up in the next 2 weeks.

 

Now, from behind the next curtain -

Customer 2: Hi, I'm looking to buy a new home for my family-

Me: Fantastic - let's go over your specific wants / needs and we'll take it from there-  (sound familiar to anybody?)

Customer 2: (a bit upset) I just said that I was looking to buy a new home.

 Dearest Marc,

I'll trust your judgment. When you find house for $600,000.0 I'll send you $1,000,000.00 in money orders. When you receive, you you cash and immediately wire me back my change.

You keep 10% of change for your effort if you wire back money day you get money order.

Dear I have friend he also need house.

Customer !

 

Marc,

Work with #2. The first guy if real will buy a two story on a postage stamp size lot with on street parking only! He'll buy it from some else he just met after you spend a week or two showing him Palm Beach. You'll invest in several sit down meals for his family, but don't worry He'll buy you a "Big Mac" for lunch, once.

The things he sites are too important to be, just nice.

Marc, I am sure that most Realtors after talking to customer one would have a little more body fluids leaving their body than just tears, it might also involve a change of pants ........... LOL

Hi Bill-

Number 1 is still scheduled to come down this month and I've talked to him several times since the original contact - But I know what you mean!!

I don't know if you looked at the end of the story, but things with #2 got worse and she wans't serious at all.

Next!

Marc,

One out of two is working out. You're a winner!

That I picked the wrong one, O'well, I've done it before.

Forty years ago I took some of the photos George Romney used in his Presidential campaign, this year I picked his son. "some-days you're the windshield, some-days the bug" Splat!
