Real Estate Jokes
Two women were walking through the woods when a frog called out to them and said: “Help me, ladies! I am a real estate broker who, through a curse, has been transformed into a frog. If one of you will kiss me, I’ll be returned to my former state!”
One woman took out her purse, grabbed the frog, and stuffed it inside her handbag. The other woman said, “Didn’t you hear him? If you kiss him, he’ll turn into a real estate broker!”
The second woman replied, “Sure, but these days a talking frog is worth more than a real estate broker!”
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.’

After he had told the florist of the obvious mistake and how angry he was, the florist said. “Sir, I’m really sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting angry you should imagine this: somewhere there is a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, “Congratulations on your new home”.

The father is dead, the mother is too ill to work, and the nine children are starving. They are about to be turned into the cold, empty streets unless someone pays their rent, which amounts to $400.”

“Well…”
“Well, what?”
“Well” said Barbara “remember way back 28 years ago when you thought you would get laid off from that development company you were working for?”
“Yes, I remember and I was sure glad they kept me on.”

“You didn’t…”
“Yes, I did, but it was for you!”
“Well….okay, but were there any others?”

A very successful real estate broker had a meeting with his new son-in-law. “I love my daughter, and now I welcome you into the family,” said the man. “To show you how much we care for you, I’m making you a 50-50 partner in my real estate office. All you have to do is go to the office every day and learn the business.”
The son-in-law interrupted, “I hate offices. I can’t stand agents.”
“I see,” replied the father-in-law. “Well, then you’ll work from home and take charge of the paperwork.”
“I hate paperwork,” said the son-on-law. “I can’t stand being stuck behind a desk all day.”
“Wait a minute,” said the father-in-law. “I just made you half-owner of my real estate office, but you don’t like offices and won’t work from home. What am I going to do with you?”
“Easy,” said the young man. “Buy me out.”
WHEN A real-estate agency hadn’t sold our house, we decided to do it ourselves. I placed ads in the local papers, spray painted a “For Sale” message on a sign board and posted it outside.

‘This is two hundred dollars less than we agreed on,’ he said.
‘I know,’ the manager said. ‘But last week I overpaid you two hundred dollars, and you never complained.’
‘Well, I don’t mind an occasional mistake,’ the agent answered, ‘but when it gets to be a habit, I feel I have to call it to your attention.’

sir; I must have misunderstood you. What did you say?”
“Listen up, damn it. I said I want to sell my fucking house!”
“I’m very sorry sir, but we do not tolerate that kind of language in this office.”
So saying, the agent goes over to the officer broker to tell him about her situation. They both return and the broker asks the old geezer, “What seems to be the problem here?”
“There’s no damn problem,” the man says, “I want to sell my fucking million dollar home.”
“I see,” says the manager, “and this bitch is giving you a hard time?”

A real estate agent was knocking on doors of homes in his farm area. At one house it was clear that someone was at home, but his repeated knocks at the door went unanswered. So, he took out one of his business cards and scribbled “Revelation 3:20” on the back of it, stuck it in the door, and went about his rounds.
When he got back to the office the next day, the receptionist gave him a business card. It was his own, and he recognised the “Revelation 3:20” he wrote the day before. In a very neat handwriting, a cryptic message was added: “Genesis 3:10”.
Later, when checking the Bible verse, he couldn’t help but break into gales of laughter.
Revelation 3:20 begins: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock.”
Genesis 3:10 reads: “I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid for I was naked.”

The store clerk again replies, “I’m sorry, we don’t do business with blondes.”
The blonde leaves the store. Then she stormed off back to her house and dyed her hair black. The next day, she went back to the same store and said, “I would like to buy that T.V. please.”
The store clerk, once again, replies, ” Sorry, but I told you before. We don’t do business with blondes.”
The blonde replied “How did you know I was blonde?”
The clerk says “Because that’s a microwave, not a T.V.”

The first guy says, “I was worried that my son was gonna be a loser because he started out washing cars for a local dealership, but they made him a salesman, In fact, he’s so successful that he just gave his best friend a new Mercedes for his birthday.
The second guy says, “I was worried about my son too because he started out raking leaves for a Realtor, they made him a commissioned salesman. By the way, he just gave his best friend a new house for his birthday.”
The third guy says, “Yeah, I hear you. My son started out sweeping floors in a brokerage firm. In fact, he’s so rich now that he just gave his best friend a million in stock for his birthday.”

A businessman meets a beautiful girl and agrees to spend the afternoon with her for $500. So they do. Before he leaves, he tells her that he does not have any cash with him, but that he will have his secretary write a check and mail it to her, calling the payment ‘RENT FOR APARTMENT.’
On the way to the office he regrets what he has done, realizing that the whole event was not worth the price. So he has his secretary send a check for $250 and enclosed the following typed note:
Dear Madam, Enclosed find check in the amount of $250 for rent of your apartment. I am not sending the amount agreed upon, because when I rented the apartment,I was under the impression that:
1) it had never been occupied;
2) that there was plenty of heat;
3) that is was small enough to make me cozy and at home.However, I found out that it had been previously occupied, that there wasn’t any heat, and that it was entirely too large.
Upon receipt of the note, the girl immediately returned the check for $250 with the following note:
Dear Sir: First of all, I cannot understand how you expect a beautiful apartment to remain unoccupied indefinitely. As for the heat, there is plenty of it, if you know how to turn it on. Regarding the space, the apartment is indeed of regular size, but if you don’t have enough furniture to fill it, please do not blame the landlady.
Send the rent in full or we will be forced to contact your present landlady!
