It's a Matter of Life and Death! Sounds like a serious matter, but that is definitely not the case here. Let me explain...
One of the agents in my office allowed me to listen to a voice-mail she received from one of her clients the other day. This seller has had their home on the market for many months with few showings and no offers. I have seen the home and it is way over-priced. I have heard this agent advise this seller regarding this fact on many occasions, to no avail.
On this particular day, the Seller was trying to decide if he should reduce the price of the home, or take it off the market and rent it. In his voice-mail, he asked for this agent to call him back right away to discuss the situation... "as it was a matter of life and death."
Now, I don't know about you, but I have personally experienced matters of life and death, and this clearly does not fit my definition of such. Perhaps, delirious and dillousional might better describe this seller's earnest, but unusual request.
The agent and I both got a good laugh from the voice-mail. Perhaps there is a lesson here for all of us... Don't take over-priced listings, or it may become a matter of life and death!
