Playing the real estate agent game.

Jeudi, 31 Mars 2005

These days I definitively have no time to devote to my packages since I'm spending a lot of time and energy trying to find a new flat. In Paris, it is horrible because there is few offer and huge demand. You have to produce a lot of papers and guarantees including your parents surety, which is quite humiliating when you are working from 10 years now.

Answering to flat adverts is quite tricky. If you don't know how to read between the lines, you will for sure be disappointed once you visit flats since you can trust real estate agents to produce dishonest adverts:

Now I'm playing the real estate agent game : calling a real estate agent at random, reading him his advert, replacing all occurences of words by my definitions and asking for confirmation ... how surprising, they always match! Needless to say, you haven't won the game unless the agent violently hang up the phone.
