heres another place lars showed us yesterday. notice the original marble hallway again, light fixtures and molding! i love this place too. we originally called him about it because we walk by it every day on our way to the park with utta. its a stunning french building one block from a great park. however when i first met with lars he told me it was already sold to an argentine family for $280k, they were just waiting for the financing to go through so he wasn't allowed to show it. of course he assured me it was a special place and a great value for the money - occupying an entire floor at 3,000 sq ft. well, three days later he calls and says its "top secret, what i am doing but i will show it to you - you can tell no one, quickly inside". he's right, it's huge, grand and well priced. he tells us he will try to get it for us if we pay $285k and he'll go straight to the owner. the argentine family is waiting on a loan approval (i guess loans are possible here but very unusual and probably only to permanent residents in unique situations). he will essentially go behind the back of his colleague and screw his deal up. nice ethics. he wants to know by tomorrow. riiiiiiiight....well, i guess he's had his fair share on the other end of these deals but i don't like the feel of it. very tramposo.

Tramposo makes me think "tramp," of course, which is quite funny applied to a male German real estate agent.
I saw you dropped by for a visit to Nonstop Express. Thanks.
The flat looks beautiful. Under $300k for palatial digs, can't beat that.
I also wanted to pass along my condolences for your GI tract's brief revolt. I also made myself sick in the early stages of going foreign...too much coffee, pains au chocolat and wine did me in big time.
Good luck on your house hunt!
