It is too fake.
NEC | January 26th, 2011 at 11:56 amJim, your video is a million times better.
Only $12.5M, or ~ $2400/sf. Chump change, right?
The strand is nice; it would be damn near perfect if they’d only let dogs on the beach!
tj & the bear | January 26th, 2011 at 11:57 amI don’t think Fred gets home cooked meals or too much time to enjoy the spa bath. I have a feeling, Fred is spending all of his days trying to cover the monthly payments she generates.
Mark | January 26th, 2011 at 12:06 pmI couldn’t even watch the whole thing it’s so tacky and cheesy. I kept waiting for the agent and client to start undressing…Jim, don’t change your style! It’s real!
Deb | January 26th, 2011 at 12:11 pmWas that some kind of porn I just watched?
Is this guy trying to sell the skank or the house?
shadash | January 26th, 2011 at 12:36 pmThat was crazy and unsettling but I liked it. Your move JtR…
Mozart | January 26th, 2011 at 12:42 pmBy the way, how are new home sales doing? Are people getting tired of picking through the trash for a home yet?
I also wonder how many new SFR’s are being built compared to the last 10 years and what’s the inventory? Hmmm…any insights JtR?
Mozart | January 26th, 2011 at 12:44 pmI think the only type of person that would have that kind of video appeal to them would be nouveau riche d-bags with an inflated sense of self and ego-maniacal tendencies.
They’d feel right at home in Manhattan beach.

Chuck Ponzi | January 26th, 2011 at 12:44 pmSounded like her boyfriend already bought the place. I assume from the video that it’s too late for me to make an offer. Too bad as I soooo was going to…
Fred buddy, if u are going to spend that much cash, it’s time to upgrade to a new Skankfriend… The one in the video is already starting to look a little olde.
Wassup | January 26th, 2011 at 12:59 pmI think you should start storyboarding your future videos Jim.
bubblenerd | January 26th, 2011 at 1:01 pmWifey wants to know where I was ‘net surfing to find that one…
Jim the Realtor | January 26th, 2011 at 1:08 pmMozart,
Unless your are specifically interested in the Northern SD market, you should be hitting this site for that kind of data. Not much building going on and it will be years before it returns to former levels.
Mrs. Davis | January 26th, 2011 at 1:13 pmJtR, keepin’ it real: from the showplaces to the bio-discos and everything in between.
I kinda did want to slap that woman in the video: what a pill.
chrisanthemama | January 26th, 2011 at 1:56 pmI’d rather see the Vista Ice Cream trucks any day.
Tom Tarrant | January 26th, 2011 at 2:11 pmIf you wanted to do a satire of this, you would just run it again.
swm | January 26th, 2011 at 2:27 pmto paraphrase JTR…”Happy ‘lady on the side in Manhattan Beach’, happy life…”
mbhater | January 26th, 2011 at 2:41 pmFred got laid off….it’s on the foreclosure list now.
BottomFisher | January 26th, 2011 at 3:56 pmSo Los Angeles!
Local Boy | January 26th, 2011 at 4:04 pmBad news girlfriend, Brad is out laying some pipe with a tattooed meth freak, and has canceled your debit card. Time to start dusting off that cosmetologist license!
Billyfeet | January 26th, 2011 at 4:13 pmIt’s pretty nice, but I’m looking for something more in the $100-200 million range. If you see anything please let me know.
jedwards | January 26th, 2011 at 7:01 pmWhat a facile bimbo…I’d shoot myself after one day with her. Silly house, also. It dates itself terribly- tomorrow’s disco lair.
Peter | January 26th, 2011 at 7:21 pmSelling the sizzle is a tried and true strategy.
Tom Stone | January 26th, 2011 at 8:19 pmBut you have to admit, shilling the skank is kinda new.
Dwip | January 26th, 2011 at 8:31 pmI thought I told her not to make any more videos.
Brad | January 26th, 2011 at 11:18 pmI would rather buy 12000 nights in Vegas than that house.
mybleachhouse | January 26th, 2011 at 11:46 pmHang on, is it Fred or Brad? I think we should be told.
Nonymouse | January 27th, 2011 at 12:52 amI think it’s Fred & Brad… The older beach babe is in the middle.
Wassup | January 27th, 2011 at 6:19 amCouldn’t watch the whole thing. Had to run and grab a barf bag.
Downturn | January 27th, 2011 at 6:39 amHas to be Brad….don’t think she would be with a Fred, do you?
Kathy | January 27th, 2011 at 6:41 amIn classic LA style, lots of glitz and glam = Cheesy!
Jesus | January 27th, 2011 at 7:45 amI got my spoof on the storyboard, give me a couple of days and we’ll have the San Diego version….
Jim the Realtor | January 27th, 2011 at 8:27 amThis 17 year old male wasn’t really paying attention to the house…..she is fine. Did you see those heels? I did! haha
Is this real? I love when she touches the counter and laughs about what a “romantic” time they’ll house.
But the house? UGLY. The rooftop pool is cool, but the view from the master isn’t that great: Those damn concrete columns!
For that money, I’ll be in Beverley Hills/Brentwood/Pacific Palisades or ideally, way up in the hills above Sunset.
Nick | January 27th, 2011 at 8:45 amI couldn’t watch the whole thing because I was laughing too hard.
Doesn’t that realtor know that video lasts forever on the internet? When some kid stumbles over your stuff 100 years from now, Jim, he’ll learn something about SD real estate in the early 21st century. When the same kid stumbles on that LA video he’ll know that one particular LA realtor was just a real dork!
MarkB | January 27th, 2011 at 8:51 amCan’t wait to see Jim’s SD version!
Local Boy | January 27th, 2011 at 8:57 amFor the SAG day rate and a nice dinner, you can have her for a lot less than the house.
Sean | January 27th, 2011 at 9:49 amIt’s Fred AND Brad. She’s obviously a working girl.
OhMan | January 27th, 2011 at 10:55 amThis was just another parady of the adbsurdity that is LA. It is drivel created by mental midgets. The whole tone of this ad exhibits such hubris. No wonder most of us simply look away in utter disgust when we drive north into the smogbelt. Jim, keep it real and you will be just fine!
Kirby Birdwell | January 27th, 2011 at 12:23 pmJim, you need to shave your legs, wear some heels, and dude, your videos will be killer!
Noz | January 27th, 2011 at 1:47 pmSorry to say everybody but check the number of comments…..Looks like the cheesy realtor got exactly what he wanted.
Anonymous | January 27th, 2011 at 1:58 pmNice legs!!!! She shd do the ZZ top video part II
kc | January 27th, 2011 at 5:48 pmJim, if you tart yourself up and start saying bollocks like “I just luuuv the master bedroom” you deserve a swift kick in them!!
Your vid’s Jim knock the socks off this tripe. The thing your videos have and always have had, is approachability. All the editing in the world just will not get you that skill!
Although I agree ….great legs.
Gav | January 28th, 2011 at 2:00 amLOL, what a thumbnail he chose for the frozen video.
I agree with Chuck @ comment #8. That same type of guy is also trying to clean up his keyboard right now.
Jeeman | January 28th, 2011 at 12:37 pmOh for crying out loud…
If this were Soylent Green, she’d be the furniture!
François Caron | January 30th, 2011 at 12:46 pmI think I’m in love. Don’t care much for the house though.
