And we’re back
Posted on October 19, 2006 - Filed Under Personal |
Cookie Monster disappeared for a while. I guess her and her "date" (IE the neighbor) have made up.
It was 5:30 in the morning on trash day. As is my chore, the four bins were being pushed out into the street. Almost on cue, Cookie Monster came out from behind the wall separating my yard from the neighbors. Scared me to death.
Cookie Monster: Hey Cliff! Have your houses been on the market long?
Clifford (startled): Putain de merde! You scared me!
CM: I’m being named Real Estate Agent of the week for
the second time this year. I’m really moving property. I’ve got 15 houses right now. I am getting what we’re asking for them. Do you think
you’ll get what you’re asking for?
Clifford: Yes I do.
CM: I’m meeting with the realtor board today. They want to find
out what I’m doing different to sell real estate. Did you get your property appraised before selling?
Clifford: Yes I did.
CM: When I’m done with the realtor board, I’m heading over to the
Appraiser’s office. The board wants me to justify some of my prices on
properties. They know me over there on a first name basis. Do you
know what the comps are in this area?
Clifford: I do, actually.
CM: I’m listing a house for $2.2 million in North Long Beach. If I get it, all those people up there will thank me. That’s normally the area I like to work in. It’s where I grew up. I know all the people up there. I’ll say a prayer for you.
It’s nice to know that in all that jumbled mess, some little nugget of goodness was there.
Thanks to Paty for the Cookie Monster pic.

LOL, I don’t know if saying that you have 15 houses for sale is a good thing.
“I have 15 houses that I can’t sell now, can I add your house to my list? Then I’ll have 16 houses I can’t sell.”
To be honest, I don’t know if she’s really moving property or not. She always seems like she is busy when she sits in her van for hours on end. But when she gets out of the van, her phone never rings. There’s a pool going on as to whether she’s really closing deals or chatting with her friends and family.
You’re welcome Clifford! I’m happy to see Cookie Monster’s back!
I’m surprised… she has a van?? I pictured her in something like a Lexus or a BMW.
I would imagine she’d have a lexus or something like that as well. Maybe that should be a question for her next time: Why don’t you have a BMW? That should make for an interesting story.
There’s a realtor I’ve come to know recently that drives a nice BMW. But, on him, it looks cheesy. In fact, I’d guess he’s leasing it. He seems to be trying too hard to impress, if you know what I mean.
