Smile Your on Candid Camera!




We try to always accommodate our clients. We bend over backwards in our attempts to make sure they`re properly serviced.
Our agents work in many cases 7 days a week to accomplish this.
Some days we get the strangest requests. Yesterday, while showing a beautiful 4 bedroom rental in Pembroke Pines to a couple we were encountered with the most insane request year to date.
The potential tenant wanted to know if the "Landlord would accept their IOU?"....
No kidding.
The home is listed for $2400 per month with 1st,last and security to move in.
Knowing in advance what the requirements were this couple assured us they had the funds to move in, until it came down to writing the lease.

The Conversation is as follows:

IOU couple:Hey, before you begin, can you ask the landlord if they`ll accept our IOU to move in?

Me: IOU? What exactly does an IOU mean to you?

IOU couple: Well, we don`t exactly have all the funds together until July!

Me: You wanted to move in by June 1st. How much do you have?

IOU couple:Well, ah-ha, huhh, hum, we have $500 to move.

Me: $500 to Move in on a $2400 per month home?

IOU couple: We`re good for it, I promise we`ll pay the landlord...

Me: I`ll call the landlord,but truthfully, I don`t believe this will transpire.

IOU couple: Yeah, we`re having this problem all over town! Nobody wants to work with us!

As I looked around I kept wondering if I was on Candid Camera or something. I kept waiting for the Punch Line,that never arrived!
