Do I get to drink the whole bottle if?:

- Prospective house buyer brings his/her mother on the shopping trip (a move usually reserved for “Property Virgins”)
- Said granite/stainless kitchen critic admits to “never cooking”
- All three houses have enough backyard room for the dog (otherwise known as three-of-a-kind)

Drink Thrice – when the prospective buyers make a direct comment about something fundamental they do not like about the house and the agent totally ignores them and talks about something else to distract them or totally dismisses their concern.  Example – gee, it’s going to be kinda noisy living over the train tracks to which the agent replies – but you won’t have far to walk to catch the train.

You forgot a few….
Stairs are too dangerous for anyone under the age of 18
Disappointed when there is carpet and no hardwood
Emphasize they want a house with “character” and yet go for the cookie-cutter new (or almost new) build

Must have duel sinks in the en suite (sharing? are you mad?);
a gas oven (otherwise, cooking simply can’t be done); and
dedicated office space (even though he works on a loading dock).

Drink once when someone says, “Oh, this bedroom is SO SMALL,” and the other person says, “Well, I guess it could be an office?”

and at least one drink if some comments that their furniture won’t fit (uh – new furniture?) are we talking of your priceless anitiques handed down for generations?

Two sips for “this room is so small,” three if it’s the closet.

A giant gulp for “wish list.”

Ditto “This will HAVE to be updated.”

Three drinks when they’re worried the children might fall down the stairs to the finished attic.
