RE: Recently, I had listed my house for sale and it has since sold..in five weeks. However, I continue to get calls and there was a person in particular who I thought I would help out as he doesn't live in TV. I knew about a house that was a possibility because it was on the FSBO site the same time as I listed and it has since reduced the price. I called to the owner and explained I was calling for a friend who is not in TV. I was told, "we don't do friends of friends. You can go down the block and there are other houses you can look at." I was quite taken aback. I explained that I had recently sold my house and was trying to help someone who had been interested

Perhaps this guy had too many looks Lou's not really interested in buying. When we sold, we had people coming in that just wanted to get decorating ideas and one guy that sat on a bar stool talking baseball saying he was just driving by.
