Top 10 Most Memorable Real Estate Agent Roles in the Movies

I would just put the Glen Garry/Glen Ross right at the top. A great movie.

Thanks Tony and have a Happy New Year

As a mom of a 3 year old I must add The Cat in the Hat with Mike Myers. lol My daughter was going around the house the other day saying your ffffiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrreeeeddddddddd!!!!! It took me a little while to figure out where she got that. nope not donale trump it was the broker at the Real Estate office on the Cat in the Hat. lol don't remember the brokers real name but it was the guy that plays Jack on Will & Grace, lol

DJ,

Great list, you failed to mention the King of Real Estate in American Beauty.

I saw PS I love you yesterday and Hillary Swank played a real estate agent.  The husband didn't like the place but the wife was pushing it on him. Hillary was like, "You need to listen to your husband, he doesn't like this place." The wife was like, "I don't care what he wants."  Then they show Hillary bringing a box of stuff home... guess she quit or got fired since she was with her sister-in-law partner.

I liked her honesty and not just going for the sale.

This was great ... you are right, most of them have a negative image.  I can't say that I can think of one positive roll of a real estate agent in the movies.  I do think that Don Baxter,  the husband on the 60's sitcom "Hazel", was an agent.  He didn't seem too bad!

There are a few I haven't seen thanks for the list... I did enjoy Money Pit. Another movie was Closing Escrow, it was not memorable...

You think those rolls are a negative light, go check out the movie "Closing Escrow"

In most of the movies, being a realtor was just a profession, and not a key point or factor, unlike in Glengarry.

I do remember:

Demi Moore in Indecent Proposal; and Gwyneth Paltrow in Bounce. Both movies are forgettable.

I heard about, but haven't seen the movie ""Closing Escrow". So I guess I should check that out. According to the write up:

"For their directorial debut, Armen Kaprelian and Kent Llewellyn, former producers of HGTV's reality show "House Hunters," employ a Christopher Guest-style pseudo-documentary approach. As in Mr. Guest's films, much of the dialogue is improvised (here with wildly mixed results), and no matter how ridiculous the characters come off, they're more than just punch lines. In fact, despite their quirks, the three real estate agents and their clients - three couples in search of a dream home - featured in "Closing Escrow" are improbably endearing"

Richard - Great addition!  The King of Real Estate was SUCH a great character!

How was Lex Luthor a real estate agent?  I don't remeber him being one...
