I'm Lani. I live in Austin, Texas (jealous?). I am the New Media Director of Single Pointe Realty (and AgentGenius.com). I keep this blog as my personal take on the market, the business of Real Estate, and the agents that make up the profession from all over the nation. Because I am not a licensed agent- I write commentary from the unique perspective of part consumer, part insider. Oh, and I have a ridiculous affinity for cheese.
We're a unique real estate company that doesn't operate as a traditional brokerage. We bring new technology, modern buying & selling strategies to our clients- it's been my job to create a home buying & selling experience that is fun, fresh, & exciting for today's Austin real estate consumer.
I’m not sure what I’d be investing in, but this “big opportunity” is so intense. By watching the following commercial, I feel that there is a substantial chance that I will be swimming with the fishies if I don’t invest in this really super serious project… because I can’t understand the words, I am simply left to assume this is true. What do *you* think?
I've interviewed the elite in real estate- bubble gum style....

I see the 360 Bridge as the backdrop to the Texas version of this commercial. The shot moves to downtown Austin and condos. All of a sudden, a ginormous longhorn fills the screen.
Invest in our new BBQ takeout franchise.
I see Lani sittin’ on the longhorn eatin’ a huge saucy rib in one hand, while twittering with the other. The camera pans left, and the last thing we see is a partial face — hidden by a strategically placed coffee cup — smiling mysteriously.
All this with overly loud Chili Peppers playing in the background.
Hell, I’d invest after seein’ that.

Ah, so I like this.

Dear Readers, the word “twittering” refers to using an online message system (twitter.com), nothing more.
Jeff- I think we’ve got a hit… I’ve got a really great videographer here in Austin who is quite famous and I think he could knock this out!
Chris- thought you might.

The best part? The guy getting an old-fashioned barber shop shave at the 18-second mark. He looks so fearful!
