HOUSTON--Is real estate realy facing a grim future? Apparently so.
In an attempt to spice up her business, a Texas agent is offering a Glock pistol to clients from law enforcement if they buy a house from her.
Instead of the usual incentives of gasoline cards or home improvement certificates, Julie Upton has advertised in the city police’s department’s monthly magazine, Badge and Gun, that for every house worth of at least $150,000, the law enforcement clients will be entitled with a free pistol.
Fortunately for Upton, her gimmick has not yet generated an outcry from the anti-gun lobby.
“We thought it would be a good way to entice other police officers," Upton said. "And whether people want the gun or not, it has stirred up a lot of attention."
Although Texas does not require a license to hold a rifle, shotgun or a handgun, Upton who is married to a police officer, reminded her clients that the offer of free pistols are only applicable to law enforcement buyers.
