The phone rings. Caller ID announces, “Coldwell Banker.” (from out of town)
Me: “Hello?”
Him (exceedingly chipper): “Hi, this is Ken at Coldwell Banker. We recently listed a duplex home in Utica for sale and we’re wondering if you know anyone that would be interested in buying it.”
Me: “Nope.”
Him (exceedingly chipper): “Well thanks for thinking that over carefully…”
Me: click.
Since when does a real estate agent randomly call a home and ask if they know anyone that wants to buy a house?
When the market is down in the dumps I guess. I’m surprised they haven’t tried that around here – there are so many homes on the market right now.
