EDITOR'S NOTE: The interview with MBS Title was been delayed till next week.
Please enjoy the following jokes till then.
A couple sees an ad that says "Beautiful large home in great shape $1,000."
It must be a misprint, but they call anyway. A lady answers and says it's not a misprint. They race over and find it's easily worth a million bucks. They ask the seller "What's the catch?"
The lady assures the couple there is no catch, but they are leery.
The lady says "OK, I'll tell you the truth - Last week my Husband informed me that he is leaving me for his secretary. He said I could have everything except the proceeds from the sale of the house. I agreed and he asked me if I could sell the house while he and his new girlfriend hung out in the Caribbean?"
SOLD!
A man asked to see the minister's wife who was well known for her charity. "Ma'am, there is a single mom with eight starving children who are about to be evicted unless someone pays their rent."
"How terrible!" she said. "Who are you?" she asked.
The visitor answered "I'm the landlord."
SOLD!
The dream of the older generation was to pay off a mortgage. The dream of today's young families is to get one.
SOLD!
If you think no one cares you're alive . . . miss a couple of house payments.
SOLD!
The trouble with owning a home is that no matter where you sit, you're looking at something you should be doing.
SOLD!
A broker was dismayed when a brand new real estate office much like his own opened up next door and erected a huge sign which read 'BEST AGENTS.'
He was horrified when another competitor opened up on his right, and announced its arrival with an even larger sign, reading 'LOWEST COMMISSIONS.'
The broker panicked, until he got an idea. He put the biggest sign of all over his own real estate office. It read: 'MAIN ENTRANCE'
SOLD!
