Originally posted by paperflower:i came across a christian property agent, telling his seller client to keep the altar away when there is a viewing for his buyer at the seller's house. the property agent's reasons: "it can bring a big difference to your asking price & you wouldn't want a black face figure staring at you when you enter the house right?"
tho i am a buddhist, not a taoist, sigh..... that was not a good comment after all in terms of showing mutual religious respect & tolerance to this multi-racial society.
goodness me i can imagine that.Originally posted by concerned_man:i am just thinking it can also bring a big difference to the christian property agent's pay-cheque with an obvious seller's black face figure staring at him/her.
Did the seller change the property agent?

but most people's weakness is greed.
unfortunately, do i call it fortunate or unfortunate i don't know, the seller stick with the same agent & perhaps they didn't wanna jeopardise any buying potential (cos they really need to sell their house) and not wanting to lose a super good property agent to market their house for them, so they did what he said.
what do i call this?
if that property agent comes to my house and sell my house and tell me to keep the altar away, i'd rather lose that agent.
