MILLION DOLLAR LISTING

Naturally, given what I do, I had to watch the season premiere of Million Dollar Listing on Bravo tonight (comment: when did TV channels start having names?) — the saga of Realtors selling million dollar homes in and around LA. Except they were not million dollar homes — try $2.5 ish to $10 million dollar homes. Honey, this is LA. A million here buys you a postage stamp. I learned so much! Realtors have a tough time acting as agent for both buyer and seller, you should probably not represent your ex-boyfriend (even if he is sexy), buyers can nit pick the inspection process — this ridiculous buyer, I hated her, wanted to re-negotiate a $2.8 million deal over missing outlet covers you can buy at Home Depot for a quarter — and open houses can be scary. People come in who have had very bad plastic surgery. A trendy new hobby in LA is to go to open houses just for fun. Oh, and for drinks, since Californians hold their open houses from 5-7 p.m., with champagne.

I can hardly wait till WE start Happy Hour open houses here in Big D! Sure makes it easier to deal with… clients!
