LOL, awesome.

ha, yeah, my phone's been ringing off the hook, it's crazy.

Good news is it has sparked some activity and renewed interest in the property. Should have a crazy-ass open house there this sunday!

Try to get a write up in the local rag, do some interviews, milk that "15 minutes" for all it's worth. Free publicity doesn't happen often!

ha! Was in the paper on thursday, did a TV interview yesterday, and covered it in my weekly radio column on Friday:

Very cool and Savvy move. Congratulations on the free publicity.

Congrats, this could be big for you.

Wow! Real cool!

hey thanks, fellahs. The viral web attention has been a very fun, exciting distraction for the homeowners... they feel like they have had the $hit kicked out of them these past few months. This has been fun and light-hearted, and has got them excited again.

Getting posted all over the intertubes is a hoot, but I'm really excited about the renewed interest in the house, and it seems to be getting us some showings. The online + traditional media coverage has also helped me get a few more listings, so it's been effective in getting my name out there too. fun times!

When I first put up the "Indoor Plumbing" sign, I took some grief from some realtors, one of whom said "there is no room for humor in real estate." I'm glad to prove them wrong.

What a dumb azz comment "no room for humor.." There is always room for humor!

Fun sells. My hat is off to you for pushing a little bit. I hope to be able to say "I knew you when!"

Congrats. Being successful and being yourself is huge.

Can I be your agent? Brilliant stuff. Bringing a bit of humor works for everything.

Christien 06-14-2012 06:13 AM

That's awesome! I think the buzz you've generated definitely proves your colleague wrong when he says there's no room for humour in real estate.

FLYGEEZER 06-14-2012 06:26 AM

I like it! Good for you.

David 06-14-2012 06:53 AM

Thanks for the laugh! Good luck on the sell.
