Sven's $20 to the first one who does a quality review by Johnny DuRocher.
I'll take that $20 now.
It sure was interesting, until it wasn´t...
First met Kim at the 7-11 on Aurora in the U-District. He was buying nachos for a "friend," and I was after bananas. When we met, and I had my hand firmly around that banana, Kim said we were kindred spirits, whatever that means.
I mentioned I wanted to buy a condo, and Kim gave me a flyer showing he was a big time Real Estate Agent. Odd since it only showed a picture of a lawn gnome with a huge football, but whatever.
Anyway, I decided to trust him, because he seemed to know a lot of influential people. He name dropped all the time. Like Jerry Sandusky.
So, Kim began calling me to set up showings. He would take me to areas I didn´t ask to go to, and show me places I didn´t even like. It was okay the first 23 times, but then it got old. I also noticed that all the places he took me were either near his place, or a weird building named NAMBLA, whatever that means. Everyone always wore sweatpants there. Odd.
Toward the end, his life partner Chris kept showing up with him. I thought this was pretty unprofessional, and well, gross. Have you seen Chris?
I finally realized Kim was never going to sell me what I wanted. It was like he wasn´t even trying. He took me to the Butler Cabin on our last meeting, and I knew I was done.
He tries hard, but just can´t ever quite get it right. Lots of sizzle, but very little steak.
Does the agent seem knowledgeable and experienced?
Somewhat
Has the agent been responsive to your communications?
Yes, almost like a stalker.
