Selling the house

Posted: May 19, 2012 | Leave a Comment




So the saying, 'a picture is worth a thousand words' may be appropriate in our case! Look at our collection of real estate agent business cards. I didn't know you could make a collection out of business cards, but here is proof that you can. We have been trying to sell our home here in the city for over a year and we had more than a hundred and twenty agents coming through here.







Now you may say, 'well that's not so bad' but, hey, wait a minute!!!. Every single time one of these agents phoned to take there client through our home we had to rush and first spend an hour cleaning the house from top to bottom; clean the garage, the yard .... everything to show house condition, 'spotless'.

Then we get all the kids and the dog into the car and drive around for an hour until their appointment time is up. Sometimes we went to get something to eat, but soon that got too expensive. We can't eat out two to three times a week.




Upon returning we sometimes discovered that while we were out for an hour or more for THEM, the agent and his client didn't even show up! Now that gets me going! I would like to charge them $100.00 for the hour if they don't show up. Soon we also learned that people can not be trusted, so we started to wait until they showed up, then asked them to wait two minutes while we got into the car, and we drove around the block to sit opposite the house waiting for them to leave.
