Never trust the stepmother who suggests a gentle stroll through the woods. The lover who tells you that of course you haven't put on weight. The Botox inspired cosmetic company who states their product will make you young. Tin men who claim they don't have hearts and lions who growl that they have no courage.
Never trust yourself when eating Green and Blacks milk chocolate. Look with suspicious eyes upon all politicians and banks. Always carry breadcrumbs upon your person to find the path home again.
And most of all: never trust real-estate agents. "Our" Big Brick house went for over 1.25 million...
And to add insult to injury they phoned us to gloat over the price. "Your estimate was so near!" the agent marvelled, omitting the part where they pretended it would sell in the high 800s. And the final salt rubbed in the wound: “Of course, it needs a lot of renovation,” the agent said.

Oh, rats!!! The REAL dream house is still out there waiting to be found.
ReplyDeleteI agree Willow. It's out there (or Big Brick will come back on the market). I believe. I do believe... xx
ReplyDeletei'm sorry...i know you were kinda hoping for big brick. is that common in sydney? underquoting? it's a big thing here in melbourne at the moment and i think there are moves to stop it....
ReplyDeleteThanks Cat. Yes, they are trying to stop underquoting in Sydney. It's one of the things that is tricky to prove but they were talking about putting huge fines on the sellers for doing it. Some of those real-estate agents are such hammy actors! xx
ReplyDeleteOh no!! That is awful...but then, I suppose if it was the perfect house there was always going to be a price war...tis such a shame you didn't get it...xxx
ReplyDeleteSorry....but I'll agree with the others...the right one is out there... tis too bad that these days you can't always take people at their word. Great writing!!!
