No, I'm Not in Witness Protection

By
Real Estate Agent with Sotheby's International Realty BRE # 01362887

Hi Friends,

 

Several of you have been kind enough to inquire as to my whereabouts of late. I promise I will be back soon with The Blooper Blog, but in the meantime, I wanted to share what I have been doing. I am still at Sotheby's International Realty on Sunset Blvd, but two of my colleagues and I have added a new aspect to our business that involves Asian outreach.

Please check out the website if you have a few seconds. We can use all the help we can rustle up just to get us established on Google. Thanks so much - and keep sending me your bloopers for my next installment of gaffes-n-laughs!

Paul, here's one for the road (from this week's MLS) - Watch the sub rise in the West. First of all - are the Russians coming? Secondly, is this guy's head on backwards?

Gayle, that was so sweet of you, and very much appreciated. So this blooper is just for you (I already gave one to Paul): "Gere's the one you've been looking for."  Apparently this gal thinks she's Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.

Gwen, I am so impressed! I have been MIA a bit myself, for other reasons. I was thinking about you, and glad to hear of your new direction. I am sure it will be a winner!

I did know you were ok, because I am on your email list and I love it!

I will check everything out. And by the way, you are one smart cookie!

Bruce, that's beautiful. I'll see if I can find a buyer for you. And I just love that natural air conditioning system in the roof!

Why Gwen, don't you recognize this dwelling?  It is the KAPPA SIG house on the Butler campus after they were placed on secret DOUBLE probation!

I thought that place looked familiar! I was there during their probation period, Bruce. I promise I did not contribute to their delinquency. I was an innocent observer. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
