6月3日周三去Magrath选了一个地,选了1个户型,被告知这是custom的house,电脑里没有价格,卖房的manager(女性)很肯定的估计是50万左右。叫我等两天,然后告诉我价格。那我说你给我hold一下吧,她却说不行。我说我去过你们公司在summer side的show home,那边都可以交$1000,然后hold 2星期,你们怎么不可以,何况你又不能给我价格。然后她同意说可以courtesy hold,如果有人马上付钱要这块地的话,她给我24小时通知。由于我6月5日要出差十天,于是她提出要我先在文件上签名,说是没有我太太的签名就不会生效,这样等价格出来可以就让我太太一个人签字就好了。我挺喜欢那块地的,而且最近房子很热,我就同意了。先签了我的名字。( A: p. g# W& e

If you don't have anything in writing, you said, she said, there is no legal stand to sue her. A letigation lawer is not cheap who may cost more than $1,000 to get your money back. Be careful about the fine print when you sign.
今天和邻居的老太太(本地百人)聊天,她警告我买房一定要小心,不要找CANADIAN SLAESMAN,要找回中国人的经纪。她说CANADIAN SALESMAN经常LIE。; @) H) K! V X
