Nice looking place. Prices seem pretty decent right now, am I right?

HOW LONG IS YOUR “NEW LISTING” NEW? | RED DEER REAL ESTATE

Too funny, too true, too sad. A house down the street has been “Just Listed” for well over a year, it’s gone through 3 realtors and I think the homeowners are now trying to sell it on their own (these facts alone make me wonder what’s wrong with the house or what’s wrong with the owners).

Another house a few blocks over has been a “New Listing” for at least 6 months.

I’m not a realtor myself, but it’s the same thing in any industry – it’s not hard to tell who’s doing their job and who isn’t.

And let us not forget the ways of preventing the knocking over of signs, involving menacing youths with baseball bats in a landcruiser x)

Hilarious. I love it. It’s funny, but it also cuts through the bullshit. You’re right… if a realtor can’t take time to fix one small thing, how will they have time to really care for the bigger things. Well done Mike!
