I had an email on a Sunday evening at 10:38 pm from someone I did not know, no phone number given, wanting 15 answers to detailed questions on a commercial property I had listed for sale. I responded by say- ing he could call me at my office in the morning as it was 10:38 pm (that’s why I remember the time so clearly) and I would be happy to answer his questions in the morning.
