So for most of us here in the 305, we have been dealing in what we natives call a few forced days off, others call it a hurricane.
Now the few days off are caused by the lack of electricity, interweb services and just the fact that we smell funny cause we refuse to take cold showers.
In short it sucks to be us….
BUT
Our trusty Real Estate board apparently has ELECTRICITY, INTERWEBS (they may smell funny) but they can take hot showers and they have No Clue. (nothing new here)
Below is a real email that I got yesterday threatening me with a 500.00 fine IF I did not update a Pending Sale / Expected Closing date.
And they “Highlighted” (in this case BOLD) the important parts…really.
Enjoy….

Lets Recap:
Sonia is worried that I did not close on Friday the 15th (for obvious reasons) and if I don’t update my listing it will throw the whole MLS system into disarray causing all sorts of unimaginable catastrophes (sort of like a hurricane).
To steal a quote from a famous movie “Sonia my dear, I really don’t give a damn”
Best part of this story is that the property in question is a “Dock” in Coco Plum which may get 1 view a year and because it’s me…I have it on LockBox (this is for another story)
Sonia does not like “Gotta Jav Miami”
