A ploy, but the problem is that this agent is working under one of the leading real estate companies in this country, Prudential. If this were some small mom and pop realty company I wouldn’t be surprised.
I say that we do something about this. Instead of bitch’n and moaning about it, let’s contact Prudential’s leadership in San Diego, California, or nationwide and object to this listing. Once they are aware of it, they might even object and revise the listing. At a certain level of management, especially at a well known comany like this, someone will realize that this is over the line. Regardless, I have emailed the agent three times and called twice, as have others here, and gotten to reply. That alone is reason to complain.
If management does not agree with us I can think of a few media outlets that would be interested. Turko might even bite at this one given the fact that the pricing is deceptive. All of this assumes that we cannot buy the house for 409k.
