Or Why You Show Houses in Drug Neighborhoods Before 9AM

Posted October 11, 2006

Me: “So, are you ready to get this deal done?”

Buyer: “Well… we were, but I drove by the house yesterday with my partner and we witnessed a drug deal right in front.”

Me: “Like, right in front of the house, or on the corner?”

Buyer: “No, right in front of the house. The guy pulled up in a car, handed over some money, and another guy ran over and gave him the drugs.”

Me: “Well, you see, that’s the funny thing about Baltimore.. Some neighborhoods… Really, it’s normal; I wouldn’t worry about it too much.”

Buyer: “We’re gonna pass on this one.”

Me: “Is there a better price that would work for you?”

Buyer: “Yeah. Zero.”
