oh man! I agree with Randy - you now have the nickname Alvin!!! Instead of being known as Jessica Rabbit - it will be Jessica Chipmunk!!! lol!!

04/04/2008 09:58 PM by Jo Soss | Bremerton WA Real Estate (Skyline Properties, Inc.)


I can just imagine what my co-workers would do If I came in with a camera. ...I shutter at the thought! .....I know its corny.

04/04/2008 09:59 PM by Cindy Bock - Hendersonville, NC Real Estate (Prudential Beacon Realty)


I was whining about not being able to find good posts... this put an end to that - too funny! I agree with Randy, great imitation of Alvin and the Chipmunks!

Very nice office... what does BRIO stand for?

04/04/2008 09:59 PM by Debbie DiFonzo, United Country VIP Realty, SW Missouri


Hi Jessica; Great job... This is very funny.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anthony

04/04/2008 10:01 PM by Anthony Stokes-Pereira (Prudential Rand Realty)


A cross between Donald Duck and Minnie Mouse.  You had enough helium to take up a hot air ballon.  Oh wait you don't like those anymore do you :-)

04/04/2008 10:02 PM by Cindy Jones-Northern Virginia Real Estate & Military Relocation Services (RE/MAX Allegiance #1 RE/MAX Company in the World)


AAALLLLLLLLLLLVVVVVVVIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN!  Put that helium tank down!  LOL  That was great Jessica.  You're the bomb!

04/04/2008 10:08 PM by Carol Smith, ReMax Preferred, REALTOR®, Toledo, OH (www.calltoledohome.com)


Oh my Jessica, when your helium voice came over the speakers I almost died laughing! That was SO funny! I even got motion sickness on the tour:) 

04/04/2008 10:26 PM by Nestor & Katerina Gasset, Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes (International Properties and Investments, Inc.)


Monika:

Thank you.  I doubt it...but I sure had fun doing it! 

04/04/2008 10:30 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Ardell:

LOL!!!  I always said you were a smart one.

04/04/2008 10:32 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


LOL Jessica, what happened to your voice??

ehhehehehehe heehehheeh hhehehehe I hope some doesn't actually think that's your normal voice! 

04/04/2008 10:33 PM by Sara Washburn (Brio Realty)


Missy:

You're talking to a former balloon head.  Thank you.  I hope you got a laugh off of it.

04/04/2008 10:34 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Eugene:

I have no plans to do any more any time soon.  Thank you.  I love our office. 

04/04/2008 10:34 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Nicole:

You're next....next Friday!  My office!

04/04/2008 10:36 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Deborah:

I wish that you were at the office when I did it.  Next Friday?

04/04/2008 10:38 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Eric:

Glad that I could help out.  Keep your eye on the AR Featured page for more info.  Active Rain had a super cool new video editing and hosting package coming out soon.  They work with a partner and it is really cool and affordable.

04/04/2008 10:40 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Paul:

We TRIED to find a Captain Obvious costume to wear (pick up local) but couldn't.  I was going to revisit a certain past post...=[

04/04/2008 10:45 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Cyndee:

Thank you! Enjoy your Friday and weekend. 

04/04/2008 11:04 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Wow...I was worried for a minute there lol!  I imagined your voice as a kind of soprano type voice.  I used to love Alvin and the chipmunks and I think I still have the 'record'...yup record back in my day :)  Nice office. Ordered my flip yesterday am....you'll be seeing the place you're going to visit...LIVE!

04/04/2008 11:45 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), HAWAII Real Estate & HAWAII Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


We are so proud of our new broker Jessica; she really brings out the professional side of Brio. (That was the funniest thing I have ever seen!!! Thanks for bringing your amazing and fun personality to the world!!)

04/04/2008 11:47 PM by Jonathan Washburn (ActiveRain Corp)


Jessica,

YOU GUYS HAVE STRANGE GAS UP THERE IN BELLEVUE.  DON'T LET IT FLOAT DOWN 405 CAUSE WE DON'T WANT IT IN RENTON.    After watching all that, I think I'm seasick....    Have a great weekend.

List and Sell (and always use QUALITY VIDEO AND SOUND)   Gary      @     R   E    N      T     O      N 

                                                     H  O    M      E      F    I      N     D     E   ... oh no the gas is here

04/05/2008 12:00 AM by Gary McNinch Renton WA Real Estate (Keller Williams SES Renton )


LOL. I can hear you taking a toke on that helium! At least you weren't "inhaling" anything else. =P

04/05/2008 12:03 AM by Lisa Hill (Daytona Beach Real Estate) (Adams Cameron and Company)


Hilarious!!

but if I knew this is what you were up to I never would have given Jason the key to getting it uploaded, haha!! 

04/05/2008 01:11 AM by Bob Stewart - ActiveRain (ActiveRain)


Jessica Chipmonk's been sucking on balloons again!  Actually, I'm impressed with how well those in the office were able to maintain.  I can't stop laughing when people do that stuff... 

04/05/2008 04:02 AM by Phoenix Arizona Real Estate ~ Doreen McPherson (Keller Williams Arizona Realty ~ Scottsdale ~ Tempe)


Jeez.....I initially thought 'is that what she sounds like?' And then I heard a few slight slips in there and thought that this had to be a joke. Reading through the comments and seeing some from those who know what you sound like, I'm glad to hear you were sucking helium. Whew! Got a bit of motion sickness going on there with the office tour though..... nice office however. ;-) Ann

04/05/2008 05:28 AM by Portsmouth NH Real Estate ~ Ann Cummings (RE/MAX Coast to Coast - Portsmouth New Hampshire)


Jessica, great video tour of the office.  You better stock up on the helium since all your future clients are going to want to be entertained while searching for homes and working with you.

04/05/2008 06:06 AM by Brian Block -- Northern Virginia & D.C. Real Estate (RE/MAX Allegiance)


Funny girl... I love the voice...reminds me of my youth....Alvin!  It is a nice office though.

04/05/2008 07:23 AM by Gary Waters - Real Estate Agent Viera Suntree (Century 21 Baytree Realty www.moving2brevard.com)


This was too cute and too fun.  Every future client with kids will expect that voice!  I think  you found a niche.   Your offices are so nice I'm a little jealous! 

04/05/2008 08:44 AM by Natalie Langford, Winchester, VA Real Estate (Realty Direct of Shenandoah Valley)


This is hilarious!  This should definitely become your marketing piece for new agents! :-)  Fun...

04/05/2008 09:12 AM by Jason Herzberger, 1st Mariner Mortgage


That is classic and so fitting for a former bubble head!  I am going to do one with Darth Vader's voice in the background.

Loved it!

04/05/2008 09:20 AM by AMANDA HALL*Broker*HALL TEAM HOMES* FORT WORTH REAL ESTATE (Serving all of DFW and surrounding areas within N Texas)


Jessica...

As I was reading the comments I was praying that it wasn't your true voice :)

I was thinking oh no...What if she really talks like that and all these commentors are poking fun at her :)

Very funny video. Alvin and the Chipmunks come to mind :)

P.S. Are you sure we're not related? 

TLW...ROAR!

04/05/2008 11:44 AM by "The Lovely Wife"...Broker Bryant's Wife... (Co-Owner Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.)


Jessica- I thought there was something wrong with my speakers!!! I was going to ask if there was something wrong with the video but was afraid that I was wrong.... really funny once you know it was a prank.

Best,

Scott 

04/05/2008 12:13 PM by Scott Cowan -Tacoma & Pierce County Area (Terry Wise & Associates)


Jessica-

Love the office.  Looks alot like our new office in Mt. Pleasant, SC.  I like the work area. 

You are truly crazy!!!  I wondered about the voice then I heard you inhale!  Great job

you might need rehab after all those "inhales" you sick puppy you!!

04/05/2008 04:18 PM by Desiree Daniels, Mercer County, NJ, Real Estate (RE/MAX Tri County)


HAHAH. Love it. I had a boyfriend one time suck helium and hold his breathe with it while he walked across a room to surprise me. He got there but basically passed out and was purple.

04/05/2008 04:32 PM by Orlando & Lake Mary Real Estate Expert, Heather Joubran (RE/MAX Central Realty)


That's odd... I could hear you taking hits off of the balloon, but that IS what you sound like on the phone.  

04/05/2008 09:56 PM by Lane Bailey - The REALTOR for Car People (Diamond Dwellings Realty)


Jo:

LOL!  That's fine...I know you as Jo Otter Pop Soss!  =]

04/06/2008 11:36 AM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Cindy:

I hear ya!  Well, it seems to be coming common practice around here.  You have to watch it.

04/06/2008 11:40 AM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Jessica...

Please tell us how you like the Great Northwest!  What a change from GA...

By the way...  Minnie called, she wants her voice back.

LOL

Thank you very much.  It was a lot of fun.

04/06/2008 03:32 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Cindy:

LOL!  It was a blast doing it.  I really don't have any hard feelings...just don't quite care for a few certain individuals that I had to deal with.  But, that is was back in another life...

04/06/2008 03:35 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Mana:

Thank you (I think???)!!! =]

04/06/2008 03:37 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Carol:

I probably would be Alvin!  Thank you, I am glad that you enjoyed it.

04/06/2008 03:41 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Colleen:

I cannot confirm or deny that allegation.  Maybe, I should run for president.

04/06/2008 03:42 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Katerina:

LOL.  Glad you enjoyed it.  Sorry, it was hard to film in one hand and carry the balloon around in the other.  I about passed out.  Not sure if I will do that again.

04/06/2008 03:43 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Sara:

I figured out the highest and best use for our helium tank!  You know I always talk like that! ;)

04/06/2008 03:47 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Courtney:

Yes, it was!  I couldn't even imagine speaking like that in real life.  I would say that it was bad for business except that I actually had an agent contact me about the company!  Can you believe that? 

If crazy sells....cha ching!

04/06/2008 03:48 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Sally:

I am excited about seeing those videos of yours!  When I come to town...it will be like Stitch has landed!




You have been warned!  =]

04/06/2008 03:51 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Gary,

You totally came a long and deflated me! =[

04/06/2008 04:00 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Lisa:

No, won't be doing anything like that! That is about as far as I am willing to go.  Glad you enjoyed it.

04/06/2008 04:07 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Bob:

Thanks for saving my job! I was told to get something up! J/K 

How is the commenting on your recent feature coming?  You seem to be slacking a bit...  =]

04/06/2008 04:08 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Doreen:

I think Liz (behind the desk) was about to crack up!  She did a very good job of keeping a straight face. 

04/06/2008 04:09 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Ann:

Yes, it was a joke.  I was just trying to be funny.  It was late Friday afternoon and I was caught up with my work (for the most part) and wanted to have some fun!

Sorry about the jerky camera, it was hard to hold it, the balloon and walk straight.  I about passed out. 

04/06/2008 04:12 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Brian:

I would actually do a series of interviews like that if I wasn't afraid that I was going to pass out.  Probably not to good for you either. 

04/06/2008 04:14 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Gary:

LOL!  I'm glad that humor isn't dead around here.  I was nervous about posting it. 

04/06/2008 04:22 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Natalie:

Ohhhh man...I don't know if I could do that too much!  It would be funny but I'm not sure that consumption of helium on a daily basis is good for me!

04/06/2008 04:30 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Jason:

Make sure you tell my boss that!  I am glad that you enjoyed it!  Thank you!

04/06/2008 04:31 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Amanda:

Thank you girl!  I've got a few more things up my sleeve!

04/06/2008 04:36 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Whew, at first I was going to say that maybe you should skip the videos of yourself and just feature the homes you are selling!  LOL   Nice office!

04/06/2008 04:42 PM by David & Lisa Webber, www.webberteam.com (RE/MAX Vision)


TLW:

LOL! No, I don't talk like that for real.  I never would have posted it then!



MOMMA!  MOMMA!

=]

04/06/2008 04:43 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Scott:

I was hoping people would look at it and go, "What the heck?????!!!!!!!!!" 

It was a lot of fun.  Like I said earlier...I was bit nervous about posting but I am glad the members around here still know how to laugh.

04/06/2008 04:45 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Kim:

Yeah, I like the office too.  My office back in Georgia was a lot more traditional looking.  I like this...

I'm not crazy (yes, you are) No, I am not! =]

04/06/2008 05:00 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Dez:

THey tried to take me to rehab...but I said, "no, no, no!"

04/06/2008 05:01 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Heather:

It was a lot harder than I thought it would be.  I am glad that you enjoyed it!  Hope you are doing good!

04/06/2008 05:03 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Lane:

You are SO full of it!  I could kick you if you weren't like 3000 miles away. 

04/06/2008 05:07 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


Debbie:

I'm loving it.  The family and I are very happy and enjoying it very much.  The people are great.  Yes, it ws quite a change but it was too good of an opportunity to pass up. 

Tell Minnie that she can't have it back!

04/06/2008 05:09 PM by Jessica Horton (Brio Realty)


I don't know. I got dizzy, maybe it was the video or maybe it was the helium overload seeping out ;)

04/07/2008 08:46 AM by Cape Coral Real Estate Broker | Susan Milner | Florida-Future-Realty.com (Florida Future Realty, Inc.)


Makes me want to visit Disney World...!

You are even cuter in person, BTW. :)

04/07/2008 05:38 PM by Kelly Sibilsky ~ Lake Zurich RE/MAX Real Estate Agent (RE/MAX Unlimited Northwest)


Jessica-- you certainly had me worried...first thought was, "no way, her voice couldn't be that pitch"....God help her!!  But then I thought, she sped up the streaming and made her voice that way or could it be sucking on that balloon?  Either way, this was hilarious and dizzy all in one! I am all dazed and confused now!  Funny stuff chic...   Try to stay off the Balloon could ya!!

04/08/2008 12:21 AM by Gilbert Arizona Real Estate - Candace Robinson (HomeSmart )


You got me. 

I have read so many of your posts, I sort of have a video in my mind of what you would sound like so your post definitely took me off-guard!  At first I thought it was a joke, then I thought, you never know.  But after reading a lot of these comments, I am glad to hear you were just goofing around.  For what it is worth, it kept me engaged!  I'll have to watch some of your other video to get to hear the real you!

04/08/2008 12:22 AM by Sara Bonert (Zillow)


Jessica way to go on your video post. I am wondering why you sound like Micky Mouse though :)

04/08/2008 06:37 AM by Bill Gassett Metrowest Massachusetts Real Estate (RE/MAX Executive Realty)


It's interesting because I don't know how you usually sound, but based on the expression of the people in the office, you don't usually sound like that. Being a fan of alvin, I appreciate the humor you bring to the post. I love the office, it looks very cool.

04/08/2008 08:29 AM by Nashville Real Estate - Larry Brewer (Keller Williams)


LOL  Jessica, I almost missed this post.  I'm glad I found it.  I needed that today!!!  I hope you win... I also hope I get brave enough to try to post video soon.

04/08/2008 02:08 PM by Huntsville Alabama Real Estate Agent, Kimberly Grant (Exit Leon Crawford Realty)


Tears, running down my face - toooooooooooooo funnnnnnnnnnnny.
