Strangest Phone Calls in Real Estate

 

We always are concerned about physical safety in real estate crazy fortune cookies in ri real estateand taking precautions that are wise.  But what about phone calls...we get all kinds and most we smile about when they ask for how much is the the pink chair in the window of a certain store, how to get a vanity license plate, etc. all from the blogs we do about our communities and local businesses.

 

The ones that come from the 'off the rocker' callers are the ones that I just shake my head.  So yesterday I had a woman calling me about a RI waterfront real estate home that has been under contract for awhile.  She kept insisting that homes.com said it was new to the market even though I told her it was under contract.  No matter she said how about another like it....alright I have another waterfront home not too far from it at $889,000.  Oh, that will work she said...see my significant other and I will buy it together.  Really?!  How do you plan to buy this home, I asked.  Oh, you know he is higher in the government than the President and is the head of the CIA and the FBI!  I hit the end button on my phone.  Rude, no...she kep calling leaving messages and finally had to block the call number.  

It must be a big full moon is all I can say!

Good morning Ginny. I haven't gotten one of those for a while, hopefully won't either. Some folks just don't have anything better to do, maybe we should refer them to a competitor that could use a phone call.

What a fruitcake!   It was mildly amusing, until she kept calling back.

Ginny: You just never know if a cuckoo will be on the other end of the line. Blocking her number was the smart move.

You know I have never received one this crazy...men who call who pretend to want to buy but are 'chatters' but this one was off kilter.

I'd say that whomever she got to represent her is probably soooo lucky being that she and her hubby must have plenty of $$ to spend ;-) (Hope you can read thru to my sarcasm)

Ginny, I had a real looney toon a few years back. Her story was so bizarre, I don't even know where to begin.

Yes, I am sure she found some other lucky soul to assist her well...sarcasm truly understood since he probably is a bigamist too!!

Hi Ginny: Wow. I will block the number too right away. Creepy or Cuckoo? Either way, it is a very unusual call and unusual caller.

Oh my!  Here is DC I'm pretty sure she'd wind up being in one of the fair housing protected classes with a significant other who was a big shot at HUD!

Ginny Gorman Well, I have heard that the funny mushrooms can cause one to be higher than a kite. And kites are typically pretty high, so it's not impossible that her guy was higher than the president.
