“Extensively remodeled horse on beautiful street” (Offered by Don Corleone Realty)

Written By

I wear several hats: My mink fedora real estate hat belongs to Sotheby’s International Realty on the world famous Sunset Strip. I’M not world famous, but I've garnered a few Top Producer credits along the way. I also wear a coonskin writer's cap with an arrow through it, having written a few novels and screenplays and scored a few awards there, too. (The arrow was from a tasteless critic.) My sequined turban is my thespian hat for my roles on stage, and in film and television, Dahling. You can check me out in all my infamy at LinkedIn, LAhomesite.com, SherlockOfHomes, IMDB or you can shoot arrows at my head via email. I can take it.

    Pretty funny. We have many agents who speak English as a second language so it can get pretty funny at times.

    Thanks, Egoldre. Be careful no one sees you or they may throw a net over you!

    Whew! Hectic week – finally got my Gwen fix in! This post had me flashing back to my Navy days, when I once heard a Filipino mess cook order a young Sailor to:

    “Put the cake batter in the sheet pans on the third deck.”

    Say that in a Filipino accent and see what you get…..

    Funny – my week’s so busy because we’re switching to a new MLS system – now I can’t WAIT to see how THAT works out! Thanks Gwen!

    That’s hilarious, Joe. It seems you had to eat a lot of sheet while in the Navy. I do every day and I’m not even in the Armed Services. I cannot wait to hear some of your contributions from your new MLS system. You’ll have to be my eyes and ears. Send me all your great finds and I’ll spin them out into a post…with a Filipino accent of course.
