Real estate, more bang for your buck

“The kitchen opens up to a fantastic living room with vaulting ceilings, wall to wall windows, surround sound entertainment system pre-installed, and a loaded 9mm Glock.” Only in Texas will you find real estate agent(s) offering firearms to new home owners.

A Texas real estate agent looking to add more bang to her business is offering clients in law enforcement a free Glock pistol if they buy a home from her. Julie Upton, a Houston-area real estate agent, spurned traditional buyer incentives like free gasoline cards or home improvement store gift certificates. Instead, she placed an advertisement offering a pistol with the purchase of any home worth at least $150,000 in the city police department’s monthly publication, “Badge & Gun.”

I would have been OK with the pre-installed home entertainment system. I wonder if this agents trunk is full of firearms. “Are you ready to sign? Afterwards you can take your pick from my collection in the back of my car.”
