Speaking of other realtors using video, our local TV station, Channel 10, featured this realtor because of his youtubes:
SAN DIEGO – A local real estate agent is busting out some lyrics. He is not a professional rapper, but he is trying to generate business any way he can.
Rafael Perez is a Bonita-based agent for Dominion West Properties. He has produced more than 50 informative videos before but his friends and coworkers let him know they fell on the bland side.
“Most of the time people said, ‘Hey, it’s a really informative video. It was great information, but loosen up, try to be funny and have fun with it,'” Perez told 10News after reporter Joe Little found the would-be rapper’s video on YouTube.
“Home ownership is back, now the new routine,” Perez raps in the video.
Perez actually has a miniature TV studio in his office complete with tripod, green screen and a video editing program on his laptop.
“I recorded the whole thing with my phone,” he said.

I can’t stand rap but this isn’t that bad.
Positive message, pushing fundamentals, urging people to vote, encouraging ownership as a way to show pride in your neighborhood. This is the American dream.
The video seems both tongue in cheek and serious at the same time. I hope this gets his name out. Seems like a good guy.
*Chuckle* Com’on Jim, you know you need to do a rap video. We’re all waiting…
Shadash, I so strongly disagree with you. Rent out the movie “Network,” then come back and tell us what you think. You might wind up saying that Real Estate Rap is a form of “spectacle,” much like “soothsayer news” featured in “Network.”
If so, hopefully, you’ll say that using spectacle to mask the lack of competence or substance is usually inherently evil.
That is, the application of “real estate rap”, in and of itself, can very likely feature long-term negative outcomes that hurts people.
Hopefully, if you’re like me, you might also say, anything inherently evil, is bad.
Then, you might even say that Real Estate Rap… is bad.
In any case, I hope he fails. He seems like a bad guy.
I’m with Susie… let’s do the JtR Rap.
Here’s a rough start on the words:
I’m your Realtor man that’s what I am
I’m here to do whatever I can
Be it early mornin’ late afternoon
Or at midnight it’s never too soon
To wanna please you to wanna please you
To wanna do it raw aw haw aw haw
I wanna be your Realtor
I wanna be the one ya’ love most of all – oh yeah
What do you think Jim?
