Real Estate Agents vs Trees vs Quig: The Final Battle

Daily Heights regular quig, who is no stranger to confrontation (see his previous doggie doo exploits here: “Say That One More Time, and I’ll Punch You in the Face”), is back with a vengeance, catching a real estate agent in the middle of tacking flyers to trees in support of an open house at 436 Sterling Pl.:

“Seriously, it really gets my goat when people tack up advertising on trees. For crying out loud, there is a reason that people don’t do this. I came across an agent doing this in the midst of the final marketing push before the open house…”

Apparently the agent confronted Quig after he tore down two of the flyers tacked up to trees on Underhill:

“Long story short, I told him that taping flyers to lamppost doesn’t set precedence like thumbtacking to a tree. We had words. And since I’ve lived in Brooklyn for a mere 15 years, not 42 like the agent, I had no right to tell him what to do.”

“In a nutshell, he asked me for my address so he can tell the sellers the reason the open house didn’t resemble a mosh pit was because of my efforts. I provided it to him and we bid each other good day.”

Oh yeah… we got the agent’s card, too: Prospect Heights Message Boards
