Is that rain?

Bye Bye Bye

“We were exploring the basement of one house, when he pointed at the wall and said, ‘I will buy this house if they give me that.' By ‘that' he meant a framed poster of NSync.”

“When showing a home with a pack of 13 alpacas on the property, my client became attached to a baby alpaca, and therefore wanted to buy that one—and all of her friends, so it wouldn't feel lonely—for an additional $120,000. The seller agreed”

Throw in the Dog

“A buyer asked me to include the seller's dog, a poodle, as part of the contract. He was serious. It was more of an entitlement issue with this buyer—‘I can get anything I want because I'm wealthy, offering cash, and a good price'—than that he was a dog person.”
