I LOVE movies.   And this just came out on DVD, and since I read/heard good reviews, and since I rarely go to the movie theater to see films, (last one was "Gladiator" and prior to that, "Jurassic Park"), I paid my $2.99 for a 5 day rental.

OK, I must disclose...I've only watched the first 20 minutes...But I didn't know that it's about a guy who is a Realtor.   He works at a big, fancy-schmancy firm in or near Hollywood (don't lash out at me..I think it's in/hear Hollywood....  I don't know anything about California...other than it's south of Oregon somewhere.  I've heard...).   He holds an open house....he works in an office with a smarmy, overbearing co-worker...you know, the normal stuff :)

Anyway, if you've not seen it and like something with probably A LOT of adult humor in it, please rent it.  And FIVE MINUTES in, you'll witness a Realtor's Ethics Code violation occur.  

Already seen it?  Do you remember the scene?  Please, do tell!  (*Hint: It's not long, drawn out scene.  Just enough to get you fined/censured if caught!)

OK, since I haven't seen the film, what is this violation?  Get more descriptive Phil.  Even the shows showing buyers picking out homes, or the flip shows leave me with you got to be kidding.  My Broker would be all over me if I pulled some of those antics.  But it does make for good TV and I am sure this violation would make for good film.  All we can hope is that no one really believes that is how we operate.  I do not clean the windows of a house just before my open house in my slip!

Have not seen it but when did Hollywood start caring about violations or reality for that matter? So what was the violation? I don't plan on seeing it.

California is SO FAR SOUTH of Oregon that there is a state in between called Jefferson.  Not able to find it on a map. 

Just drive North of Redding and look out your window real closely.  You'll know when you get there and also when you leave.

Google it up if you like.

Thank you all for your comments, but I can't give it away....Someone will see the movie (it's available for rent).  Actually, as a Realtor, it was kinda fun, but there's a lot of adult-only stuff in it, so be warned.  

Jim, that is amazing!   I'd not heard of the State of Jefferson or it's movement.  What are they waiting on?   I've move there!

I've put it it my Blockbuster queue, but since there are 103 movies in front of it, it might be a while.

Has anyone seen a movie or tv show that gives a fair representation of what an agent really does?  What is your favorite real estate movie?

There are a few websites that purport to list the greatest real estate movies of all time:
