..........and that's no monkey business!
It has definitely been one of those daze (at least, yesterday was).
The computer crashed, seemingly beyond repair, and so I had to go and buy one. Youch! Not an easily absorbed expense right now but can anyone out there imagine trying to run a business like ours without a working computer?
Sooooo...........
let me tell y'all a little story about........a boy and his dog............... actually, this story is about a lady and her little monkey.
Eeeyup! Thats right!
The very first deal to leave its furry little hand prints all across our desk concerned a woman who is living in a townhome with a pet monkey!
It is a Marmiset which stands all of about ten inches in height and its face ia about as big as my thumbnail.
The HOA where she lives, had allowed her to move into the townhome two years ago, with monkey in tow, but apparently they have received too many recent complaints about the monkey running loose in the common areas.
So.......they want her and the monkey out!
We interviewed the woman, determined her needs, were in turn interviewed by the monkey, and after he gave her the okay, we came up with a good offer which would allow all parties to get what they wanted.
It was a good deal, and one that would have netted us over ten thousand dollars however.........
The day before we were to go to settlement, her brother died.
We expressed relief that it wasnt the monkey. After all, that would have queered an already strange deal!
Of course, somewhere between her brother's passing, and the next time that I actually saw her, she had been talked into signing with a realtor.
Goodbye deal, goodbye monkey.
It's been a month since then.
I spoke to her two days ago. She said that she wished that she had just signed with us as she is now locked into a six month contract and the realtors' supposed "buyer" has yet to materialize.
She now has some seriously legal problems because her deadline for leaving has come and gone.
Anybody know a good way to get someone out of a real estate agent contract?
So, in honor of the first "its a jungle out there" contract to fall into one hand, and jump out of the other, here's the first entry
into..............."TK's list of Obvious Instances"
(the "rules of acquisition" having already been taken)
1) A contract is worthless when it remains unsigned.
