Hello all-- This is my first time asking a question on this forum after almost 1 year of "lurking" and learning ! What a wealth of information from such knowledgeable folk ! I am now stumped and at loss about how to handle a phone call I received this AM and hope someone could possibily give me a suggestion.
As I am bidding farewell to last night's guests, my phone rings and a very curt and formal speaking lady asked if she could make an appointment to look at our guest rooms for her mother. I live in a very small village (and have my entire 55 years) and for some reason, this voice sounded familiar. My "caller ID" verified the call was coming from a local Real Estate office (not one I would EVER use if I were to sell anything).
I politely asked what she had in mind for a day and time. Answer- Today at 1PM. I explained to her, my last guests had just departed and I am expecting a full house by 3PM, therefore today would be difficult. To sum it up- we both agreed to Thursday 11AM . I then asked for her name and phone number (in case an unexpected influx of guests booked at the last moment for that day). Answer - Angie. "And your last name, Angie?" Answer-"just Angie" I responded- "I am sorry Angie, but for the safety of my home, person, and guests, I must know who will be entering my house." She reluctantly gave me her last name and her cell phone number. After hanging up- I realized I know this woman (not on a personal basis but as a customer of hers when she worked at a local dress store). I remember her so vividly because this woman was an absolute witch whenever I was in the store (not only to me but to everyone) . I would avoid her checkout line because she scared the tar out of me ! And to top it off- I KNOW for a fact that her 90 year old mother died 2 months ago !
Now- I know this "Angie" is not coming to inspect rooms for her mother and that she must be up to something. She is now in real estate- is she just nosey ? I do know- regardless why she is coming- she started off with a lie and I do not trust her nor want her in my home. I plan to call her back and cancel her "inspection" appointment, but I want to be prepared for an "inquisition". What to do?????
