REALLY REAL (AND BAD) REAL ESTATE according to Ellen Degeneres
During our sales meeting today, probably for comic relief, or simply to be told in a funny way what to avoid when advertising our listings, our broker showed a funny clip from the Ellen Degeneres Show.
Elllen has a hilarious series of real estate clips of actual real estate listings and ads. Sad, but true.
All of us have probably have seen our share of bad photos and copy. So let this be a reminder to think twice before posting bad pictures and to proof read copy.
Or risk being featured --- in a bad way --- in these videos.

There are just great videos. I love the one with the doll moving from room to room, and ending up in the bath tub. Ellen is such a dear. I have watched her for years... ever since her original appearance as a stand-up comedienne on the Johnny Carson show. She was hilarious, by the way.

I have seen most of these and quite funny and to the point she is.... I think Connie Harvey posted one a few weeks ago. Ellen is quite the comic. I am always rolling.... with laughter because she is right on!

Carol --- from time to time, it's good to take a break and watch something to make us laugh.
Laura --- it looks like real estate will continue to provide sources of laughter (and angst)

Chris --- and the creepy doll...and the same flowers in every shot. Hope real estate agents are watching these lessons in what NOT to do.

Too funny. They are classic, and hysterical. There's nothing like humor to make us laugh at ourselves. Thanks for the Saturday afternoon giggles Pacita!

Ellen is one funny lady. Of course, some Realtors have made it really easy for her. What were they thinking? Oh, that's right, they weren't.

Leslie --
You got that right. Those realtors weren't thinking. Wonder if they saw themselves as we see them now, after being featured in Ellen's show.
