“Just talked to a realtor who I’ve known for decades and he said it’s getting ugly, that the sellers haven’t figured out they need to lower their asking prices and the few buyers out there are low balling like crazy, he mostly works in the westside and yaletown.”

“Well I did my part to save a RE shopper last night. The ditzy realtor & her serious sidekick asked if I would fob them in the elevator (their fob wasn’t working) – “it’s okay, we’re realtors” she says. I replied that I was always happy to help realtors – the sarcasm was only a tad thick. The poor sucker -em I mean propsective RE Millionaire -said I was helping him too to which I replied “Not a very good time to be buying real estate is it?” He sheepishly looked at his shoes. C’mon it was two on one and clearly the guy needed a lot more help than my fob could provide! I thought a simple serious query the responsible thing to do under the circumstances (or I was just being mean to the realtors, yah, actually, probably that). Oh, You could have heard a pin drop for the rest of that elevator ride.”
