My Next Open House Outfit?

02/07/2012

I soooo covet that Givenchy gold lamé cape Madonna wore at the Super Bowl! It was probably lost on the NFL crowd, but did you notice all the mythological symbols and ancient civ references?! Check out more of her Egyptian & Roman inspired fashion designs by Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci.

OK maybe it's a bit too flashy for an open house. But definitely Halloween!

Crooked Ex-Realtor Robs Open House in Posh SF Suburb! Busted by Tween's Webcam!

Tsk Tsk!

Shame Shame Shame! This louse gives us all a bad rap! This serial thief abused his real estate license by stealing from homes on the market. He gained access with his lockbox key. He targeted upscale suburbs outside of San Francisco. He'd been arrested years before for the same crime but apparently he was at it again. Luckily, a 12 year old's webcam caught him red-handed!!

I pulled up Disciplinary Action from the California Department of Real Estate. Apparently, his license was "outright revoked" July 5, 2011. See below

If your house is for sale, please remove all valuables. Take inventory before and after each showing/open house. Be sure your realtor installs a lockbox that logs who enters and at what times. (Combo locks won't suffice)...and I ain't telling you to spy but I suppose it can't hurt to leave your tween's webcam rolling!

Do not wear tube tops & mini-skirts to your open house! How to Dress to Sell a Home

I've videoblogged about this before but STILL I walk into open homes and am flabbergasted by what the Realtor is wearing! One gal had on nothing more than 2 band-aids held together by some string, and mini-skirt so short it might as well have been a belt. Seriously, how do you politely ask "Are you hockin' homes or hockin' hooters!?" If clients can't tell whether the house or you is for sale, you're in big trouble.

Here is my new video for eHow.com on how real estate agents ought to dress. (However, if you are selling a house to Hugh Hefner, then go for the daisy dukes & halter tops. Know your clientele!)
