Running Water
While looking for a piece of country property, Kenny asked if there was running water; the answer was yes . . .
Low Maintenance
“Yes,” said the real estate guy, “it is a little on the dry side, but cutting the grass doesn’t take long.”
Rustic
“Rustic” is how the Realtor described it; “A little paint and a few nails, and the bathtub, though outside, is wood trimmed . . .”
Slump in the Market
When Jack called to say he wanted to list the family farm, the Realtor told him there was a slump in the market, but in reality, it was worse than that . . .
Waterfront Property
Jean and Robert wished they had done an on site inspection of the water front property they had bought for retirement. Yes, it was true, there was a creek that was one boundary for their property, but the creek bank was a little steeper and deeper than they had been led to believe . . .
Waiting for the Big One
Looking forward to retirement, Buddy and Marge had bought an ocean front lot in Arizona through an Internet Real Estate sales site. The lot price had seemed quite reasonable for ocean front property, but when they went to see their new lot, they found it was just desert. The salesman explained that if they had bothered to read the fine print, it had been sold as future ocean front, it wouldn’t be ocean front until California had the “Big One” and fell into the Pacific. That, he explained, might not happen until the next election when Arnold beat Jerry Brown . . .
