What the Rapture will mean for Real Estate Values

With the Rapture fast approaching many of my clients have been asking me what it will mean for the value of their property. My response for most of them has been that they shouldn't care because there are many mansions in our father's house  (John 14:12) and that they really shouldn't be concerned with such earthly trivia. On the other hand it got me thinking "How will I price my listings to reflect the changes in demand"? Well I'm not very concerned because since it is easier for a camel to get through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into heaven most of my listings will still be appropriately priced. I will probably cancel the open houses I have scheduled for Saturday and Sunday since there will be empty cars careening all over the road and I just had the scratches buffed out of the Passat. So unless you are in the market for a well kept ranch next to the Church of the Nazarene I don't think there will be many deals to be had out there after Saturday. The one possibility that does exist for people looking for a deal is to convince those in a house that you really do covet that of course they are one of God's chosen and if they are leaving on Saturday for their date with destiny why wouldn't they want to sign their name to this Quit Claim Deed I just happen to have in my pocket? Just saying......

P.S. If you are pretty sure you are heading off to your ultimate reward could you leave me the keys to the BMW in the garage?
