The Jewish Realtor, An Asian Couple, The House, The Truth
I met up with an jewish realtor who specializes in silicon valley. Or something like that. He was an ex engineer. Apparently I decided to pick someone just like my husband to help me buy a house. Do I need another man who is exactly like my husband. What was I thinking. I love my man. He’s a fine man. A good man. But when it comes to making decisions, he takes his sweet ever lovin time. Ok, he takes a year. His modus operandi is a year of thinking/hemming/hawing, what else, oh and he has a panic threshold. Don’t panic unless you have to spend more than 1 G. My husband that is. Not a high roller..let’s say he is a conservative non roller. Anywho, had a meeting w/ the jewish realtor. He proceeds to tell us all these things about the market, yaddah, yaddah, yaddah. My husband and I tune out. He basically is telling us not to expect to buy a house in silicon valley, ie. Paly. That there is no chance in hell to compete with the cash carrying googlers. Damn them googlers with stock money. And then there is the whole thing of why we want to move there. In all seriousness, he took what should be a semi enjoyable experience, of looking for a home, to a very dry and insulting experience. I felt like I was challenged. Sure, his job was to apparently challenge us. Oh really? I thought his job was to make my dream come TRUE! Not. Regardless, my husband said he liked him. Go figure. LOL
