When you and a seller diagree on value

If you do any type of marketing you will run into calls with people who I politely call "dreamers". You know the type.... 

My best one yet

Vm: "Hi Ryan. Oh Sweetie I don't want you to waste your time. You would have to have deep pockets for this one. You're better off just moving on from this one. *giggle*" 

Now how many of you would like to call her back? She got the award for the most condescending tone ever.

So I call her back. She wants 1 Million dollars for a home that is worth 184k tops. Because her All State Agent told her she shouldn't take under 1 Million in this "seller's market". 

Man last time I checked property values hadn't increased 500+ % in Indiana. Maybe I should go back to the drawing board... 

I politely informed her that I could only pay what the market allows and the market value is under 1/5th of her asking price.
