A Fresno broker is using West Nile virus and green pools to sell homes.
Talk about spin.
From the Blogging Broker blog:
Help beautify Fresno by purchasing a home with a green pool through Lazarus Realty. I will *pay for the cost of draining, cleaning and refilling the pool. When complete you will have a sparkling BLUE pool.
Did you know that Fresno has over 1000 **GREEN POOLS and that these green pools are a breeding ground for mosquitoes, and a single green pool can infect an area within a quarter mile and that the mosquitoes may carry the West Nile virus? With the weather warming up green pools will only get greener because algae blooms in sunlight.
Of course, some restrictions apply: "I will either credit $400.00 of my commission to buyer at close of escrow or pay up to a maximum of $800.00 for the service."
So if a home with a green pool does not sell, does this broker leave the pool like it is, not alerting vector control?
