It was 1st April, 2016 at precisely 5:00pm. I got a call from a client whom I will
call Osarobo. He asked me if I had a property suitable for a school. At that
moment I did not have any available for rent. So the next day, I went round in
search for it. I got three options. Without wasting time, they came and I
showed them round.
Unfortunately, they were not satisfied. As we were going
out, I saw a colleague in front of a particular property which, I tried to
reach the owner but to no avail. We all alighted from the car. I made inquiries
and was told the property was for sale . This sparked the interest of Osarobo.
Therefore, we entered the compound and inspected it. To cut long story short,
Osarobo did not purchase that particular property because of the perceived high
marked price.
In view of this, I did not rest in my laurels. I went to
work again, searching for a property that suites their need. Eventually, I got
one close to the road. It was a 3bedroom bungalow on a 50 x 100feet dimension. I
called the Barrister in charge of the property and negotiated with him. I let
him know that I would take my client inside the compound for inspection and he
gave me the permission. With this, I called the client over for inspection. We went inside. Having
being satisfied, we left and I took them to other properties, but they quickly turned others down.
Furthermore, I was in their sienna bus as they drove away. At
their request, I called the Barrister in custody of the bungalow for a thorough
negotiation. Later, I handed the phone to the wife of the client and she spoke
with the Barrister. Initially, the marked net price of the property was
4million naira. But with her strong negotiating power, the price crashed to
3.5million. Later, I got off from the
bus.
The following day, the client went to the property and
collected the Barrister’s number and scheduled a meeting with him without my
notice. That same day they located the Barrister’s office. Events happened so
fast. In fact, the client spoke with the owner of the property and arrangement
was made to pay for it. Eventually, they made a part payment of 3million.
Within one week, the balance was completed. In all of this, I was pushed aside. One month down the line, the client deliberately refused to give
me my 10% commission.
