This morning I was laying there thinking should I get out of bed or lay here and watch flip this house?Then I said to my wife, "You know what I would like to see? A show where they take an agent that is still wearing polyester suits, and has their picture from 1979 on their card. Then, take this agent, update them and their business, and have them switch companies. Then see how they do on the open market as an updated real estate agent"
Could they now sell for more, like a home after a flip? Also, if anyone knows who I could pitch this idea to, I have the first candidate for the show! It is an agent that doesn't have an e-mail account or cell phone. They still have a thermal fax machine, and until last year, was still using dial up internet in the office to access the RMLS! Yes, he was still using his picture from 1982, I didn't even recognize him when I saw his card.
So, if the networks are listening... Help me FLIP THIS AGENT!

This might be more of a candidate for "Extreme Makeover." Maybe Dr. 90210 could do face lifts to help match the old picture.
Todd,
I have a few candidates from my area as well. I actually know agents who still don't have a cell phone or e-mail and you have to go to their office for all keys because they also don't use lock boxes. Talk about doing things the old fashioned way!! I wouldn't be surprised if they cut their grass with a scythe.
Keep us updated about whether you get the idea to fly.
Flippin' brilliant Todd! I love this idea!! I always refer to them as the dinosaurs of our industry. Have one on the other side of a transaction right now and he has NO CELL PHONE. Driving me crazy.
I know a great tattoo artist for your first candidate... time to look like our clients for a change. You crack me up - a "5" for you today.
Todd, they could do a version of "Designed to Sell" where they take a schlock agent, do a little agent staging (new attire, a little Botox), add a few new tools of the trade and "voila"!
Dwight - hahahahah
Seriously, Todd. That's a show that I think I would watch. You've got a great idea going here.
WOW! I watch Flip this house religiously (It's on after 9pm here) and would have never thought of Flip this agent (I have a few candidates in my office for the pilot of your show). Thanks for the laugh and keep doing what you do.
Thank you everyone for stopping by and A&E or TLC my phone number is 503-524-9494 and Dwight watch your back, I will find you and get my revenge - lol
Bridget - They can send those check to 500 NW 20th, Gresham, OR 97030!
Maureen - My mind tends to go weird places, no matter where I am.
Paul - I like the show title, but calling a woman a dinosaur may get you killed!
Dan - How you can you call the stuff on TV crap...Didn't you see they are bringing back American Gladiators? - lol
Tchaka - I watch the soup and 30 seconds of that ummm, I'm not sure what to call her was enough for me.
Mehmet - Hey, Hollywood! The writers strike is in full swing and no writers are needed for this show - Call me (503)524-9494
Bobbi - Great, I would love to retire and work one day a week telling people they look like someone from 1975!
Todd,
That is hilarious and I would definately tune in! I know what you mean...we have some "old schoolers" that still only carry pagers! I love it!
Joel - Hey, that cold calling still works my friend! I get 2-3 leads a week only making about an hours worth of calls per week.
Laura - My old principle broker still only carries a pager.
Rick - They haven't yet, not for lack of me trying to get them to.
Mike - I don't if that is false advertising or not, I guess it was you and unless you are selling your picture, than it really shouldn't matter.
Latonia - Send them in and when I pitch the show again during the next writers strike, I can give them names.
