Last night, I just could not fall asleep so I ended up watching some T.V. to help nod off. Anyway, I flipped to the station Bravo to see this show The Real Housewives of Orange County. There was this one woman who works in Coto de Caza real estate and she was talking about her real estate practices. She believes because she is good-looking and has a different approach to selling houses that this will make her "Top Dog".
These are some of her tricks to the trade. 
- Call your client cheap. Never thought of it, but it could work. Maybe by insulting and bullying them they will have to give you more money.
- Get drunk in front of clients. It makes sense. It loosens everyone up and everyone will have a great
time discussing and buying real estate. - Swear like a sailor. Maybe I've got this image thing all wrong, but I always thought keeping it professional and classy would give you a great reputation, I guess not. What were they teaching me in realty school?
- Flirt with a client's significant other. I've never thought about it, but if you break up the marriage you get to sell one house and try to find them 2 different houses. Very strategic and smart, I should think about this next time.
Obliviously, I would never take any of her tips seriously. I just thought that it wasn't interesting how some other realtors operate. Would you want to be represented by this person if you were her client? Or if you wouldn't how would you leave? Any thoughts or comments?
