Sex? No Thanks, I'm a Realtor…..

Just when you think you’ve heard it all….. I’m convinced that it’s got to be something in the water that makes people crazy, or maybe they just weren’t hugged enough as children….
At any rate, another Realtor has just made my list of Loony News Stories, This time from Miami. Turns out getting a deal to the closing table there is harder than the DC area! The story goes something like this:
Realtor X is trying get a house sold, and in walks Realtor Z with a contract on the same property. Realtor Z gets the house sold, and Realtor X makes no commission, which apparently upsets him. A LOT.
Realtor X then supposedly decides that working on putting another transaction together to bring home the bacon doesn’t make sense. Instead, he decides that revenge makes more sense, and what better way to get revenge than to post Realtor Z’s phone # on Craigslist as part of a phone Escort Service.
Realtor Z gets TON’s of phone calls, nearly has a nervous breakdown, and calls the cops. The cops, who apparently do not look lightly on these sort of shenanigans, track down the ISP address of the lister, and it traces back to Realtor X, who is then arrested.
It wasn’t enough to post just one ad, though. No, there were 26 different ads posted on-line, all with Realtor Z’s #, so both her and her 11 year old daughter had a field day taking calls from perverts looking for a good time.
So X’s gets booked, posts bond, and his lawyer expects the charges to be "significantly reduced". Sounds like an incredibly sad situation, and an embarrassment to Realtor’s everywhere. Here’s hoping a swift resolution (and a swift kick in the pants!) is coming soon.
