The saying goes don't be a penny wise but pound foolish.

It annoyed me because I get too many unwanted sales text as it is, but I was doubly annoyed by the familiarity expressed in the e-mail. 

So, stay cracked up, or whatever childish thing you said, and pound sand.My request just proved itself.

I can't imagine some ladies garden club wanting me charging out the door on my 20,000 pound diesel powered forklift to pick something off a truck.So here is my question, Real Estate agent seems kinda tight with the current owner.

The seller is almost certainly going to tell you to pound sand (unless they're really desperate, which would make me nervous as a buyer).

Good stuff, so now that you know what you want no you just got to get out there and start pounding the pavement to find those deals!

Pounding the pavement.

You will ruin your relationship with them and some cities have the ability to shut off your water service if you run afoul of their permit/zoning process and just tell them to pound sand. 

Thanks for the info @Zac Ballin, I'll definitely be pounding the pavement before I decide where to buy.

I think demand in our STR space is the proverbial 800 pound gorilla.
