🎉 I Just Gave Myself 1,000,000 ActiveRain Points, and I’m Giving It All Away 💸🐾🚽

By
Real Estate Agent with Scott Schulte LLC

💸 Because what’s the POINT if you can’t use fake money to solve real estate’s real problems?

That’s right. I logged into my imaginary ActiveRain account, found the "Make it Rain" button, and BAM 💥 ...  I gave myself 1,000,000 points.

And now?

I’m giving it all away. Every last pixel of it. Because the real estate gods demand tribute and I’m your weird, shirtless point fairy 🧚‍♂️ (Kidding!)


🪙 First 100,000 Points

🐶💥 Bathroom Listing Enforcer: Tiny Dog, Big Justice!

You know the type ... a purse-sized Chihuahua, trembling with rage and self-importance, decked out in a rhinestone collar and tiny doggles. Cute? Sure. But this isn’t just any accessory pup. No, this is Vengeance in a Vest.

Trained to launch a surgical ankle strike at any agent reckless enough to post a listing photo with the toilet lid up, the seat up, or worse ... evidence of... "recent activity." 💩🚽

And we’re serious about this. 🎯 100,000 ActiveRain points go to the first agent who trains their pint-sized warrior to patrol open houses for photographic crimes against porcelain dignity.

 

Bonus points if it’s caught on video. Double bonus if the offender screams and drops their overpriced oat milk latte.

Because what’s the point of real estate photos if they don’t say, “Buy this home,” instead of “Don’t sit down here unless you’re brave?”


🪙 100,000 Points

To anyone brave enough to hire a full-blown mariachi band ... sombreros, brass, and heartbreak ... and send them marching straight into the buyer’s office after submitting a 42% under-asking offer. 🎺💔

Let the **music of shame** blast through the cubicles as the buyer tries to explain to their coworkers why they thought $298,000 was reasonable for a $500,000 listing with a pool, new roof, and hand-carved front door from Sedona. 🌵🏠

Bonus points if the lead trumpet belts out *Cielito Lindo* every time the buyer tries to talk. Double bonus if someone throws rose petals. 🌹

Because if your offer stinks, it might as well come with a soundtrack.

🪙 100,000 Points

To anyone who drives a lifted monster truck over a Prius parked in front of the open house sign. Extra points if you yell, “This is my showing appointment now!”

 

 


⁉️🙋‍♀️ If you had a blank check in terms of "points" – let's say, 100,000 redeemable points 🌟 ... to tackle a huge real estate headache, what single, pressing problem would you pay to solve? 🏡

Jan Green - Scottsdale, AZ I have owned several, but for some reason, I was only able to get 45 mpg out of mine. My wife had 59+ mpg. Still can't figure it out..

That's the older model!  Of course I drive a Tesla so 45 happens in 2 seconds!

Hello Scott - a genuine laugh-out-loud tale that seems more fact-based than fictitious points.  Quite creative.

Expert guidance. Exceptional results.

Wow, Scott, this post totally brightened my day! Thanks for sharing such clever and hilarious ideas. It definitely made me smile and think about the fun side of real estate. Appreciate you putting this out there. It’s a refreshing reminder not to take things too seriously! 😄

Now, if I had 100,000 points to tackle one big real estate headache, I’d use them to streamline the home-buying process … specifically, to create clearer, more transparent communication between agents, clients, and 3rd parties involved in the transaction. It’s time to cut through the guesswork and make the journey less stressful for everyone involved! 🏡✨

Scott, this is such a hilarious story. Oh, how I can relate to surgical ankle strike by a mighty chihuahua. I enjoyed reading your participation in the challenge in such a creative way.

This is so hilarious Scott in so many ways.  I love all of the references, from the chihuahua, to the Mariachi Band, to the Monster truck.  This really made my day reading this!  You definitely should be a writer.

When I started to see the mangy mutt, my mind went to the AR attack chihuahua.

Personally, I would donate funds to research having a cellphone immediately self-destruct if it is being used to take listing photos,  immediately

Hi Scott Schulte - so happy the Feature Fairies were on duty when you posted your entry to the June Challenge. Do you know if the fairy was shirtless? 

It is a chime to post photos with the toilet seat up. 

Mr. Crappy takes care of all the stinkly offers we receive.

I would pay to solve lazy and/or irresponsible brokers and their untrained agents starting with the toilet set up photos!
