curb service

Realtor has frantic phone call from seller hiding in the bathroom of her home. "There is a man here looking in all the windows and banging on the door", she says. "He's yelling at me to sell my house."

"He looks real scarey. He sounds crazy. He's here with a motorcycle gang. I'm not opening the door."This is all your fault," she tells realtor, "you put up a sign in my yard."

calming her..... Realtor takes another call on hold ..motorcycle noise is heard in background...and finds a man who claims to be a friend of the person in the driveway. Friend asked for an appointment to see house right away. Realtor indicates that given the price of the house, prior qualification is necessary explaining that the owner does not allow open houses or unqualified showings.

"Huh?" what's you mean by that ?"

It means that if I don't know you, and frankly your name is not familiar, you'll need to have your friend's banker or attorney phone our office and confirm that he could perform on a contract to purchase.

"OKaysie Missie, you sounds sorta snobbish, but we'll calls you back."

background noise...."I'mmma gonna buy that place, i told you immma gonna buy that place ......hrummmm , hrummmm"

A few days pass and a call from a banker is received by the Realtor. "I've been asked to phone up and tell you the name of the customer.The customer has told us in confidence that he plans to deposit a substantial sum of money within the next 30 days. Naturally I asked as to the source of the funds.I'm allowed to say that he just won the lottery .

"The person who called you was his employer until yesterday, now it's the other way around"
