Note: The concept of “deep discount prices way below market value” is a paradox, as the price thereby received is itself market value. -vreaa

“Joel and I have been working on this concept for some time and just signed the documents. My assistant just told me that we’re about to hit the air waves hard with a ton of news about the upcoming Anything’s Possible Sale, happening this Sunday. In an attempt to remove absolutely any reason why someone wouldn’t buy their new condo now, we’ve made it possible to overcome any challenge, we have the ability to take trades deeply discount prices way below market value, carry finance, rent to own, zero down what ever it takes to put 11 happy new owners into award winning Martin lofts this Sunday. It’s absolutely worth taking a half hour to see if this will work for you or anyone you know. No sale like this has ever taken place in Kelowna. We are selling the units out and moving on, developers orders!
I know this is short notice, but I felt that it was very important to contact you before our advertising hits the airways Saturday, that’s tomorrow throughout the day.
I’m giving you 24 hours notice to book a 15 minute call with me where I’ll happily tell you about the opportunities that are going up for grabs this weekend. My hunch is, something will really jump out at you and you’ll want to secure the opportunity right away. that’s only possible if you call me.
My number is simple and I’m pretty friendly over the phone, so give me a call. Why am I doing this? Because Sunday I will have no time to take calls. My time slots are already filling up quickly. To act out of integrity and because you’re a part of my buyers group, I wanted to give you the very best opportunity possible.
My goal in the 15 minutes will be to support you in solving your challenge, by creating the perfect solution for you. Anything is possible! (no pun intended).
Here are some of the typical challenges I hear:
1) Are you short a down payment?
2) Do you have a home to sell first?
3) Are you looking to rent to own?
4)Are you waiting for a killer deal?
The developer working with us on this project is only doing this for one reason. They want to move on to the next project and they have made it clear to me that everything is possible this weekend. This opportunity is going out to more than 500 people, so please secure your conversation time with me the moment you get this email. My number is again is 250-
Make it a great day!”
P.S. I’ve only got 11 suites remaining and 30 consultation spots. Of the more than 500 people interested in this offer. You do the numbers! Talk soon.”
“Anything is possible! (no pun intended).”
Ha ha ha ha ha… I don’t get it.
[Agree. Hysterically funny in its unfunniness. -ed.]
This is just a really bad presale scam. Limited time offer, inside information, massive waiting list. We’re doing you a favour by getting you an appointment. What a f*&$ing scam. I’m more annoyed because it’s so poorly pulled off, like watching Fox’s World’s Worst Criminals but without the dark humour.
I don’t get it…those Martin loft have been finished for a long time, I drive by them all the time. From what I hear, the Kelowna condo market is completed overbuilt. Lots of “investors” just sitting on their empty condos, waiting for a recovery…which won’t come, now will it? Just check out the for rent by owner (vacation rentals website) and you’ll see what I mean. Kelowna-Florida north when interest rates go up!
I think what you meant was that there must be 11 greater fools, who will buy these overpriced condos in a overrated city.
