1. Tell that *$% that if he wants to threaten me that my attorneys are bigger than his attorneys and I will eat him for lunch.
2. This is as low as we're going...if they ask for anything else, and I mean ANYTHING ELSE...tell them to go pound sand.
3. Hi Shannon the good news is I'm going to buy a condo...the bad news is it's not anything that you showed me but I'm still using you so don't get mad.
4. Good afternoon this is Shannon...Can I kiss your feet and suck your toes? (That one may have taken place when all those weird foot fetish keywords were popping up on my webstats)
5. Good afternoon this is Shannon, may I speak with Shannon, this is Shannon, "The" Shannon, uhmmm yes this is Shannon Lefevre how can I help? Is this the Shannon Lefevre who sells real estate? Yes it is...oh I didn't expect you to answer the phone...
6. The buyer wants to know if you'll leave the sheets because they want to sleep there the day of closing...(a call made to a seller long after negotiations had been made) What??? That's gross...who wants to sleep on somebody elses used sheets...fine.
7. What's it doing down there (a call made to me last month in reference to the weather) It's snowing! Seriously, you are not...really?
8. I'll buy you a Mercedes SL if you help me figure out how to buy this house with my hidden money... (said by an alleged drug dealer wanting to use drug money from outside the states to purchase a 7 million dollar home...at which time I didn't know what a Mercedes SL was.)
9. Is this Shannon? Yes, Oh good...hey tell me more about the yellow one. Yellow One? Yes the yellow house on your website. (I have IDX on my website...at that time about 10,000 house were listed)
10. Do we still have to buy the house if it gets blown away by Charlie (said by a buyer getting ready to send final signatures on an offer 2 days before Hurricane Charlie hit).

I too have had they following
Good afternoon this is Eric .... Hello can I speak to Eric... this is he....when will be in ??
Or hello can you tell me the price of this home.... which home?.. the one I am sitting in front of ( it gets better when you ask ok tell ne alitle about the house... and they start with it is 2 storys with a 2 car garage ..
You just never know what someone is going to say! Number 9 is the one I can most relate to!
Did they still have to buy the house if it got blown away by Charlie? That's not an issue I've dealt with.
Too funny. The Mercedes XL would have been tempting, but I don't want that kind of client.
KELLY: By the looks of the remarks...lots of people can identify with #5! :)
ERIC: Well duh which one did you think he was talking about? Obviously it's the one he's sitting in front of! Sheesh!
MARY: I know...if they would just listen...hey maybe that means we can start saying crazy stuff at the beginning like, make it good!
DEBORAH: Isn't that funny...we should just start making stuff up...oh yes that one that is a 8 bedroom 12 bath, indoor pool with bowling alley...
Tamara: Now there's an idea!
LISA: Oh with the white shutters...sorry that one just sold but let me tell you about a new listing I just got! :)
KAREN: They did still have to buy the house...there wasn't any damage so they bought it fixed it flipped it and made about $500,000 on it. Not bad! :)
Shannon very funny...That number 5 is so common for a client to say. I guess they expect us out all the time. i use to have a friend that was a top listing agent and he would cit at a listing appt. and tell them to call the other agents that they interview and 9 out of 10 would not be available to answer the phone..
Good listing tactic but I never tried it.
From the person who walks into the open house and wants to put in an offer that is 25% less than the asking price, "What do you mean you're not going to write it up for me?"
Hi Shannon
My favorite phone call is from a copier salesmen, who must have gotten my name from the board of Realtors listings. You see I go by my middle name but my license, and other legal documents have my first initial, followed by my full middle name and last name. Heres the call can I speak with R., Are you kidding me, is there an R. there sorry R. has left the building.
