My client wants to take a look at a studio.  Since the condo is not yet finished, the sales person showed us a rental model and then she has mentioned the differences between the rental unit and the condo, which is the view is better at the condo unit, the finishes is better, all bamboo floor through out, but there is no balcony.

Then we had a whole tour of the amenities in the building, there are so many things, I feel that I was in a maze. But my client does not want to move forward with this unit since it is quite small, the asking price is $319,000 which is even higher than the unit 4007 at the parkshore, which is a one bedroom unit.

As for the unit 4007, their thought is there are lots of small details need to be touched up. I mentioned that we can get those places fixed, but now this made me think that we may need to fixed these small things to make the place show better.
