Not sure how to approach this.
Not a pricing issue/thread.
Long time customer. PM / realtor. Not tons of work but not bad. A real variety of stuff.
From nicer rentals to some low end stuff scattered all over town.
The occasional referral to to ready a home for sale.
One of their office staff texts me. I have a clean needed at 600 xyz. I already have an estimate for
$-----, if you can do it for this you can have it.
It is less than my minimum. And I do not have any idea about the place. Never been there.
So I call both her cell, and the office , leave detailed message. (the address I got was also no good)
I wanted to find out the correct address, when they needed it , if it was ready etc.
I waited quite some time and heard nothing , so I texted back. This seemed to irk her. She said she is really busy.
I have had this one person just text in the past, not giving enough details, then can't get hold of her to find out needed information.
Went to look. And no way would I be able to do it for what she said she had an estimate from someone else.
Since this is a longtime client, I can't decide if I should agree to do it for a lower price.
Again, this person is just one of many in the office . The last thing I want is to do this one for a lesser amount , only to have them expect it all the time.
She may just be up against it with this one client of theirs, trying to get a deal.
Never have had any issues of this kind with them. Larger jobs I submit bids first, but never had any pushback.
