How to Buy a Bank-Owned Home
Although this video was first released about 2 years ago, it is actually still applicable in today’s 2011 real estate market in the greater Phoenix area. The choice is whether to cry or laugh, and at this moment, in this room, I choose to laugh. Enjoy!
Actual Photos seen in Gilbert Real Estate Listings that make you say, “What the…”
I’ve been way too serious in my recent posts, so I thought you might enjoy seeing a couple of impressive photos that I saw this week in the Arizona Regional MLS.
I’m still amazed at how many listing/seller’s agents restrict botch the quantity and quality of pics on their listings, but some of them are downright hilarious.
I’ll protect the identity of the houses, listing agents and brokers, but if your agent ever uploads photos like these to the listing for your home, you might want to have a serious discussion with him/her about Marketing 101 and the hiring of a professional photographer.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I present to you my two favorite marketing beauties photos from this week:
Ummm... why bother cleaning... the prospective buyer can dig thru my crap to find the counters... right??
What every man (and woman) wants to find in his next home. Just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, doesn't it??
If any of you run across any others that you find as deliciously tasty, I would LOVE to see them!
Friday Fun: The Word – Borderline Personality
On Twitter yesterday, @RealSherriffJoe tweeted the following: “My buddy Stephen Colbert. I don’t know where he got this picture: http://tinyurl.com/37k2mb5“.
At the very least, you have to admire Sheriff Joe’s willingness to be the brunt of a parody on a nationally syndicated television show.Then again, one has to wonder how much ‘reality’ there really is in this particular video. Your thoughts?

As insane as this parody is, there is a tremendous amount of every day reality in it. My thanks to a new friend for bringing it to my attention. Enjoy!

Friday Fun ~ Adults Go Wild Over Latest in Children’s Picture Book Series
I’ll apologize in advance, but I just couldn’t resist posting this video from The Onion. While watching it the first time, I actually wondered if this might be a fairly realistic scene in Congress these days. Perhaps instead of writing letters and sending emails to our elected officials, we should just buy a box of crayons and draw them some pictures of the TRUE state of our nation, starting with the greater Phoenix real estate market. Hope you enjoy this 2 minute video as much as I did. And either way, have a terrific weekend!
Adults Go Wild Over Latest In Children’s Picture Book SeriesHow To Buy A Bank Owned Home
This is a very funny video on the state of the current bank-owned/foreclosure market, and it applies to the greater Phoenix real estate market. And yet, while cartoon funny, it’s sadly an indictment of the insanely ridiculous and out-of-touch asset managers that control the sale of bank owned properties. Where is the Department of Real Estate when you need them the most?
