I've heard of places like TX who specifically call out lease / options.Mainly saying Bill, your tossing LOs categorically into a can't do category is state by state and exact tactic and contract specific in my reasoned view

More scare tactics?

In order to bring people  (who were all some form of Pagan at the time)  into the Church the early Catholics used a lot of incorporating:  re-working old Pagan traditions into something "Catholic" (which means 'universal' in the original Greek)  to entice people to convert more readily.Although in the case of the Pagan sacred number 13 the tactic was to discredit it instead:  13 became spoken of as "unlucky" and associated with death and bad things in general.It is no accident that Christian holidays all occur on the dates or previous Pagan holidays:  Christmas in on the Winter Soltice, Easter at the Spring Equinox.  

And a very, very common tactic.

I'd tell him to stick his hard sell tactics up his @$$ before I commit to doing it for him!!

The options are out there.My disclaimer is "I am no professional this is tactics that has helped a couple of friends."  

Change tactics from the agency realtors who don't know you from squat.

Although the original public attack on @Engelo Rumora may have been warranted in his opinion (though pretty harsh IMO), perhaps @Dan Mikolajczyk would be better informed on the marketing tactics of Turnkey providers here on BP and elsewhere if he checked out a few others.
