This is not typical CA territory, but this is too good not to share. Check out this distressingly honest web page of a Japanese real estate investor-broker. Clearly these people don’t understand the importance of psychology, positioning, and posturing in the delicate art of business negotiating.

Notice to Potential Buyers

We are forced by our lenders to sell them as soon as possible. We will consider ANY and ALL offers. Please note that the Expected Annual Returns given here are based on our realistic assumptions as a property developer familiar with the respective region and are by no means guaranteed.

If you are at all interested in how we are struggling to reduce our inventories, call our English speaking Member of the Board, Taddy Nakai, at +81-3-6386-3412 during Asia market hours or his DoCoMo +81-90-8763-8707 during US & European market hours. If you are a Bloomberg user, his ID is TNAKAI1 and he is usually logged in.

The corporate philosophy section is also a real classic:

Encourage Our Staff to Have Children

Please don’t get the wrong idea. We don’t subsidise the purchase of Viagra® or such medicine nor do we accept the fact that most of our male employees have erectile dysfunctions due to stress caused by current market situations. Anyway, to the point. We believe that it is in the interest of our own nation to slow down the relative aging process of our demographic structure by promoting family values and the idea of large family. Every little helps – our employee will receive a bonus for every new child in his or her family. The amount may not be large enough to truly get every employee to start a family but at least it will serve as an expression of good wish and they can pay for the hospital bills.
