Sitting at home after a long day of showing properties.  Checking my email, the MLS all the things we do to finish up our work day and I look up at a segment on the local news.  I did not think I was hearing right, but I was and here it is:

A homeowner in Englewood, New Jersey is trying to sell a property.  A property that it is listed at over 2 million dollars, 8 bedrooms, 4 bath.  This homeowner sent out a mailing with the heading:

 

                                     "Help Save the Neighborhood From Negative Elements"

                            Englewood Residents Beware this is your opportunity to save your
                                                                  Neighborhood

The owner a Jack Lefkovets was questionned by a reporter.  He claims that he meant drug dealers, sex offenders and other criminals.  Shame on Him.

According to local real estate agents interviewed for the segment his house is very overpriced and most of them won't show it.  What a surprise but can you imagine.

Miriam, that is unbelievable. What era is he living in? I can't imagine anyone saying that much less putting in print and shocking that the newspaper would print it. WOW!

Miriam:  It sounds like this Mister Smarty Pants is a lawsuit just waiting to happen.  I would surely steer clear of him... much too risky.
