I know I haven’t posted here in a while but I’ve been so
busy. Life has been good to me so I
don’t have too many complaints. Which makes it even more difficult to type the
following words, I hate my job. I don’t want to come off as an entitled brat as

listing agent however he would meet with me at the property and offer me
guidance, realtor services if I needed to make an offer. I wasn’t going to make an offer. Firstly, the property was ridiculously overpriced.
Secondly, it was small. The apartment opens into a small foyer where
you can see the living/dining area. Left of the foyer was a retro pink bathroom,
then a master bedroom with two nice closets (one of them a walk in). The second bedroom is actually I half bedroom
right off the kitchen. Owen made a point of telling me that the kitchen
