I AM NOT THE GEICO GECKO !!!!!!!!!

By
Real Estate Agent with Bergen County, NJ - RE/MAX Real Estate Limited

Well, I certainly wasn't expecting to have to write a blog to clear this little issue up, but seeing as THREE PEOPLE have emailed me in the last 2 weeks to ask if I was the "Voice of the Geico Gecko", I feel compelled to set the record straight !


Indeed, the little green fella on TV IS from my neck of the woods - he is British like me - but it seems that a few members have watched my last 2 VLogs on here ( #1 & #2 ) and are insistent that I must be a part-time Realtor, and part time Geico Voice-over Commercial Artiste !!!!


... well, as much as I am sure that bloke gets good cashish for voicing those commercials, THIS Brit doesnt see a penny of it !!!


SOOO ! ... without any need for further explanation, this should answer those curious emails ...


I will say it one last time ...


                                  I am a REALTOR !!!!!


                                                    ... and I'm NOT  this guy !!!!!

 NOT the Gecko !

 

... although I may be able to save you 15% on your next Home Purchase !!


CHEERIO !!!!

Sheldon--you are one CRAZY Brit!  One of our bridesmaids is Brittish and I can just see a bit of her wild self in your posts and I just LOVE it!  Too funny about the vid--I laughed for a couple of days each time I thought about it!  I still feel for Mel Bot though!

Have a good one...

Funny sound like a good hook for your local market, "...although I may be able to save you 15% on your next Home Purchase !! "

Sheldon, don't you know that all you Brits sound alike? LOL Of course anyone born in the UK would instantly understand the nuances of your voice versus someone else.

That is too funny...love the picture! My husband is a brit but his name is Fabio...confuses a lot of people. They think he is a burly, long haired blonde when he is really a rather small framed, salt & pepper haired brit. I much prefer realtors to Lizards...most of the time anyway!
