The listing agent who is making $50K on commissions from this sale refused to come out for the final walk through she is supposed to be doing!
Fuck! That is pathetic. It used to be they would be there with a bottle of champagne!
then imagine how immigrants that are buying regular homes or condominiums are treated...
In the article, they said most immigrants rent on "the outskirts of town". The reason is that most Finns won't rent to them in the cities. When I first came here, I wanted to rent close to where I worked, in the city. I was told to "find a place in the outskirts". It took ages to secure a place and it wasn't until the showing agent was actually the owner, an old woman, that I was able to get the apartment.
That is terrible. It is much worse than in USA. I guess in US, it is much better in larger cities than small towns.
Small town they don't want to do business with you. I have never experienced before people refusing to basically take your money. And they finally did but only after putting up every obstacle they could, delaying the sale by almost three months and asking to show where the money came from tracing back to almost thirteen years!
