Are you going to believe me or the person inside your head who keeps telling you the property exists when it doesn`t!??

We`re dealing with a client from Canada. We`re showing them condo`s in Century Village at Pembroke Pines.

They`re interested in purchasing a place for the winter.

They`re eager to find a condo 2bed.2ba condo for $40,000. There is only one problem they don`t exist at those prices.

We`ve shown them condo`s in the $80-90K range which fits their criteria but they keep insisting they have a friend who purchased a condo in Century Village for $40K...

The conversation is as follows:

Me: As much I we want to help you locate a condo. There aren`t any sellers willing to accept $40K for their unit.

Couple: Yes, but our friend continues to tell us they can purchase one.

Me: OK, can you get me the address of this condo so I may look it up?

Couple: humm, yess, but, but our friend is busy.

Me: I`ve shown you the comparables of condo`s in the area. The closed sales don`t lie..

Couple: I know but we won`t pay more than $40K. My friend said it`s possible.

Me: Possible? How so? Who are you going to believe?I have no reason to lie.

Couple: OK, Thank You. We`ll keep looking until we find one...

Me: They don`t exist! Would you like to look at other area`s?

Couple: Our friend said it can be done, than it can be done...

With that we parted as friends. I`m left scratching my head wondering where their so called friend is! My guess he`s the little person in their head that keeps whispering to them,that they can purchase something that doesn`t exist!

I wish them the very best in their quest!
