I dont hear a colleague say how hot the rental market is. Over 20 calls in one day is astounding!
Caution.. sort of unrelated…..
A few months back I placed an ad on Craigslist for ‘free alcohol’ with a story of a wife who was trying to get rid of all the alcohol in the house while her husband was out on business… I placed my friends phone number in the ad – it was my attempt at a practical joke / wake up call for the alcoholism path he is headed down… Maybe it was deceptive, but whatever..
My friend called me about 30 minutes after I placed the ad and said his phone had not stopped ringing for the last bunch of minutes.. Since he was out drinking with his buddies, he told me not to remove the posting, as they were having fun talking to all the people who were calling…
He called me some 5 or 6 hours later and reported that 300+ people had called him and his phone was ringing constantly… Since this guy is sort of an exagerrator, I would guess that 150 calls would probably be more accurate… but still alot!!
So 15 calls for a place to rent VS. 150+ calls in about 6 hours for free alcohol.. maybe 15 calls on a rental is a low number? Probably more like, location doesn’t matter for alcohol, just as long as it’s going down your throat!
