Real Estate Gets Real

I’m working on a website for a real estate firm who have decided to branch out into financing to allow people to buy their own homes. The client tells me he’s been bankrupted eight times and is required by law to tell anyone he enters into a contract with involving money that he’s not allowed to run a business.

Me: “You’ll be offering mortgages to people to allow them to build their own homes, and you’re not allowed to be running a business?”

Client: “Yes, but I’ve told you. That’s all right, isn’t it?”

Me: “I’ll have to mention that on the website.”

Client: “Is that relevant?”

Me: “That’s relevant. I can’t begin to tell you how relevant that is right now.”
