Someone needs to invent the “reality check” pill

I’m going to start including funny emails in the “Funny phonecalls” category because I receive so many messages that make me laugh out loud.

The following is an email from someone who wants 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and wants to pay between $200-$400/month for their housing. Keep in mind that in Philadelphia, you can barely rent a room or studio for that price:

“i am interesting in where the diversity neighborhoods that have nice area and more events and friendly people and have kids to play with and easy transportation and feel safe
do you have any of those like that in neighborhoods cuz i wasnt sure the zipcode but anywhere in philadelphia. i like to see what you have and look.”

How am I supposed to respond to this?? I replied that there are plenty of neighborhoods that fit the criteria, but none at that price. I asked the person if they can pay more per month. Still waiting for a response. :-)

Funny client phone calls

Just one more story that proves I have the funniest clients, ever.

I had an appointment for 3pm this afternoon to meet with a seller client. I called him about 9am to confirm the appointment. I thought I woke him up, but we had a quick conversation, and agreed that meeting at 3pm is fine.

Fast forward to 1:3opm, my client calls me and this is was the conversation:

Client: Did we talk this morning?

Me: Um, yes?

Client: What did we talk about?

Me: I called you to confirm our appointment for this afternoon?

Client: Really? Cause I don’t remember a word we said (starts laughing)

Me: Oh, well, sorry for waking you up. Are we still good for this afternoon?

Client: Yeah, nice talking to you (keeps laughing)

My clients are the best :-)

I had an appointment for 6pm today to show one of my rental listings. I call the client to remind him of and confirm the appointment. When I ask for the client, he responds with “Who’s calling?”, with the tone used to avoid collection calls. When I give my name, the first thing he says is “Oh! I was supposed to meet you at 10am wasn’t I?” To which I replied “No” (He did in fact have an appointment for 10am for this past Saturday, which he rescheduled to 6pm today). He confirmed the appointment and then asked me what he needed to bring. I told him he only needed the $37 application fee. He says “Whoa! A whole $37? What for?” I explained to him it was to check his credit, and do a criminal/background check. His response: “Oh, don’t even waste your time, because my credit is horrible.” All righty then, thanks for the heads up!
