Have You Heard the One About......

All real estate agents have a story like it. The client who looks again, and again, and never commits, coddled by "below market" rents with an avuncular landlord.

With a wondrously low, fixed monthly, and a dreamy location, the client understandably lacks the hard push and incentives of other wanna-be buyers.





So it goes, until the fateful letter arrives, the betrayal.


The owner is assuming occupancy of the unit, a big rent hike is planned, a cousin's moving in, the building's been sold, demolition is planned.

If it it can happen to the Fantastic Four, it can happen to anybody.
