As so many of you know, I have a few places that I rent out (listed in the RE section of DR1), and I field all sort of inquiries. Now, through word of mouth, I get three or four phone calls a month from Dominicans in NYC...But to the case in hand.
99.9% of the people I deal with are really nice and I was wondering how you guys would deal with an inquiry worded like this one. I am thinking that this is European mind set thinking:
"Good day We are 3 person of a new society in Santiago ( a free zone business) and must transfer in Santiago (Dominican Republic) from 1st August 2010 and we find a house from 120-150 m2 (min. 3 bedrooms), or residence with 3 mini apartment solution (living room with kitchen, bedroom and bathroom). We prefer zone La Esmeralda or same zone (with europe and american people) near Mall in good zone. Attended your notice quicly
There were two things that confused me: the idea of a place with three mini-apartments (like some beach condos?), anyway I have never seen or heard of such a place or places in Santiago, much less in the sector the person is looking at, so I tell the person that. And the person sends me back a note saying that he KNOWS they exist. I ask several RE people and they are like HUH???? WTF is that???
The next thing is this part about (with european and american people)....on some level that offends the crap outta me...
So, would you tell the person to go fly a kite or what? (Oh and they want to pay between US$500-600!!! For a furnished apartment???
Oh well, what do you all think>?
