    Weird Advertising Can Work

    I would never in a gazillion years advertise a home as a cockroach hotel.  But it worked for one agent and kudos I say to the flipper who had the courage to do this!

    I did show a house once that was CRAWLING with these nasty nasty things.  It’s the only time I ever screamed while working with a client.  I laid my business card on the counter next to another agent’s card.  My card accidentally nudged the other card and about a thousand baby cockroaches came streaming out from under the other card.  Horrible!
