Craig - I went thru a period of doing spoof spots for all our print ads. Got in a bunch of trouble for this one! :)

(The old fools in my area were not wrestling fans) :)

Dawn - Priced right, any home will sell. I tell my sellers that it needs to be priced right otherwise we should just charge admission and bill it as a museum!

Candice - You, my friend are a trip! That ad is too funny! When you mentioned "old fools" you meant "clients" right?!!!!

Craig, I don't have clients like that. But I imagine they were 'someone's clients if they weren't FSBOs (wink)

I have not visited here for a few days and look what I have been missing.

I feel as though I have been in the "cone of silence."

People just have to buy homes from someone who loves Max and Agent 99.

Right Chief, I gotta be honest here...Agent 99 was the number one reason I watched that show...she created her own kind of "Chaos" with me.
