Wacky Phone Calls

By
Real Estate Agent with The Top Team @ Charles Rutenberg Realty 255 Executive Dr, Plainview NY 11803
It's a new year and we are already receiving some wacky phone calls. Here's a sample of them...
 
1. I'll get pre-approved later on in the process. First show me houses and then I'll worry about the money at a later date.
 
 
2. My listing expires with my current Agent, and I would like you to list it and raise the price since it's been on the market 6 months. I haven't received any offers and I believe it's because my agent listed it too low and luxury buyers aren't looking at it.
 
 
3. I only want you to show me condos that the women in the community play canister several times a week. I want to see all the condos that offer this.
 
 

4. Hello Sheila, I live on Oak Dr near your neighborhood where I walk all the time. I don't like the way the landscapers are clearing some of the yards so can you call them to clean it up better so I can walk on the grass easier... 

 

 

And The Wackiest Phone Call This Month:

 

 

5. Who is the listing agent at 123 Main St. I only want to make an offer with her!

 
 
 
 
~ And That's Our Wacky Phone Calls For This Month. We Are Sure We Will Be Back Next Month With Some More of These Types of Calls ~
 
Keep Smiling!

Sheila: I always smile at your list of wacky phone calls. You have to shake your head in both amusement and bewilderment at some of the things consumers say.
