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.

    Have a great holiday, Joe – your new Jockeys are in the mail (they have little pink kisses all over them).

    You often see posts on activerain and other sites about the “spelling/grammar police” . The tone of these posts is always “what difference, why does it matter?” .

    This post illustrates why it matters. Agents, do you want your clients thinking you are ignorant or illiterate? Would you want one of these agents to write your contract?

    Good point, Jim. I would not want an agent selling my house if I questioned his/her literacy. Lord knows, they mih\ght think “escrow” is a bird in Mexico.

    Thanks, Fred. Who knew the MLS was so entertaining?

    Should be required reading for all new agents! (My poor husband doesn’t understand why I enjoy being on the computer so much.)

    I heard a great one from a reader today – “Walking Closets.” That’s as good as “Sleeping Views”!
