Comment from Anne Johnston

Excellent

I love it. Brought some laughter on a stormy winter day. Of course, this is fiction but something that all of us would wish might happen in our lives. Very well written.

So glad you enjoyed my fun time, Anne -- not sure where this came from, but once the pen started it was a hit with the muse! ;) Take care and have a wonderful week and STAY WARM! ;) Yvette
P.S. I do apologize for the delay -- crazy times 'round here! ;) Be sure to stop by again sometime... ;) :)

You are welcome, Yvette

Dear yvette, I greatly enjoyed this whole spoof, mostly because of the dialogue between you and the used car salesman spheel ( is that a word?) from that real estate investor.

What a delightful conversation. I've know realtors just like that. They steam roller a person. Mr. Duncan should come to my house. He'd love it, too. hahahahahaha

This is a hoot, Yvette. Wouldn't it be wonderful for a couple of retirees to be approached with such an offer on their family home? They could retire in style with all that money! LOL Good job. Nancy:)

Good luck in the dialogue only contest, Yvette. This was brilliantly done, especially for a fictional piece. I loved the aggressiveness of Mr. Duncan, he just wouldn't take no for an answer. Very much enjoyed.

Vette,

That was a lot of fun. I lived in a house just like that - though it was rather new at the time. I bet it looks a lot different now. hahaha The writing was nice and tight and the accidental-flows in the next bit of dialogue were lots of fun. Thanks!

This is truly hilarious. I'd like to get that guy to come over and take a look at the wonderful aging techniques I've put into my house. The is a sure winner for the dialogue only contest.

You know how to spin a tale. Miracle, indeed. In the end, 'An offer they couldn't refuse." Would you believe me if I told you we have Realtors knocking on our doors and phoning, weekly, on this street? We have houses that are three-bedroom bungalows going for $800,000 to $900,000. Believe me.
This is an entry that deserves a win.

This is a riot! Prompted from your recent experience perhaps? I love the way the real estate investor doesn't let you finish your sentence. I've met quite a few of these in my real estate career. This is so fun for the contest. Sending you my best today as always, and my very best wishes for the dialogue only contest,
Sal XOs....
