Barefoot Sales Spiel

Scott,

I live in the Northern Beaches area of Sydney. The other day, a real estate agent came to my door quoting you saying that house prices are sure to drop in the coming months and now is the time to sell. I instinctively don’t trust salespeople, but is there any truth that you suggested this?

G’day Sam,

It’s a little twisted sister for my liking.

A few weeks back I wrote about the NAB CEO’s suggestion that people who found themselves in financial difficulty should sell, yet that was him saying it, not me!

In fact, I specifically said “Please don’t misquote me: I am not saying you should sell your home”.

It sounds like the agent is using my name to make a sale (depressingly, that happens quite a bit to me these days).

My advice?

Shut the door in his face.
