Exciting New Development In Selling My house

Posted by Othurme on Mar 19th, 2008

I’m so excited! I can’t wait to tell everyone the good news! You ready?

Today I received an email from my real estate agent to give me a progress report. He’s really excited about the following news. Here’s what he said:

“Don’t worry, I am still aggressively marketing your home and I just spoke with ~~Thomas Edison~~ a representative of an invention that will enhance the sale of your home.”

And here it is!!!!!!

“It’s really cool, it’s called ‘listing light’ and what it does is shine bright lights of the ‘Sale’ sign out in front of your home during the night so that we can still promote the home in the dark. What this will do is spotlight your home at night and remind drive by’s to spot and pick up the flyer while reminding your neighbors that your home is for sale and refer it to anyone they know who may be looking to become a homeowner.”

That’s right folks! I got a light! Anyone who didn’t know my house was for sale because they couldn’t find it by the light of the sun, will now be guided to make an offer on my house by the twenty five watt bulbs that dangle on either side of my for sale sign.

It’s recession proof, I tell ya. Happy days are here again!

In case I never mentioned it, my house gets zero thru traffic. Apparently my agent didn’t hear me tell him that when I was pointing out the key selling features. Not one person drives on my block unless they have a reason to be on it. At least now, all of my neighbors will get a nighttime reminder to not even think about putting their house on the market.

I’ll laugh my ass off if it sells tomorrow night because of the sign.

And then your agent can say TOLD YOU SO.

I think I know the problem. The secret to getting your house to sale is having the spot lights they use at car dealerships when they have the huge end of the month sales. That will surely make your house sale and I am sure your neighbors will enjoy the lights being added to the neighborhood.

Be nice to think that this is the light at the end of the tunnel.

Jester - I’ll laugh with you (and at you).

DickieMaxx - I know and if it still doesn’t sell I can make extra cash converting into a night club.

Crail - It indeed would I fear it’s only going to be the useless light on top of the useless sign.

I’ll give you $5 to put up one those hot air things with arms that flap around all crazy in the wind. You know, those creepy things you see on used car lots.

You’re on our own figuring out its official name.

Liz - If it’s too scary I can turn on the night light. Just let me know.
