Gorilla holds real estate agent captive
Gorilla holds real estate agent captive
It is not everyday that you see a gorilla kidnap their
real estate agent. But this gorilla did just that. I came across
this unfortunate agent last summer in the Gold Coast.
He had listed the monkey’s treehouse about 12 months prior
to being held captive. Apparently his client was upset with
the slow market, and couldn’t understand why his treehouse hadn’t
sold in a whole year.
I told him that the most important thing to do when you are trying
to sell a treehouse is to price it right! All the marketing in the
world will not sell an over priced house. So sellers have to be realistic
about current market values.
If you overprice a property, you might be chasing the market downhill with
future price reductions. In the current environment, you have to be one step
ahead of the current pricing trends for that neighborhood.
But anyway, it was too late for all of that great advice. The agent’s client
went bananas. He locked him in a bamboo cage and made him ask pedestrians if
they wanted to buy a house.
Wow!
