Is everyone enjoying a lazy Saturday? I know I am. I’m really good at being lazy. So I am going to make this MDLLA recap quick and dirty (I hope). It’s hot so while I can’t get any wine right now, I’m drinking beer. And gaining around a pound a minute. But whatever.
Tracy Tutor
Tracy is flying to Scottsdale Arizona for a listing appointment. WHY? Do they not have real estate agents in Scottsdale? WOW! It’s a 20,000 square foot mansion with a back yard that is enormous and has views of Camelback mountain. This place is gorgeous. The paid $1.6 million to carve out part of the mountain. They spent another $100K on a glass table they had flown in from Italy. This place is really over the top. The backsplash in the kitchen was painted by the artist who painted Versace’s swimming pool in Miami. The master suite has two bathrooms a his and a hers. The master suite is about three or four times the size of my house. Okay, maybe ten times bigger. The two story walk-in closet is the size of a store. And it looks like a store.

There is a ballroom. Because everyone needs a ballroom. Why is the lawn fake? That’s just ridiculous. Oh Tracy later says it is because of the heat, growing grass is difficult. In LA it would be a $70 million dollar home. This is the owners 22nd house she has built. It was previously listed at $23 million. Tracy plans to co-list with a local agent. You can tell Tracy wants this house. The list the house for just other $14 million. That seems like a steal. Tracy holds a fancy broker’s open.
Josh Altman
Josh Altman has a nice listing in the birds neighborhood. It was previously listed and because of that there is a list of buyers on the exclusion list. That means if they want to buy the house, Josh gets not commission. And one of those buyers has made a bid before Josh could even market the property. So now he has 24 hours to come up with a buyer with a better offer. So he is pulling out all the stops. The only problem is that the entire neighborhood is under construction.

Nonetheless, Altman has a buyer. He listed the house at $22 million. His offer is $15.5 million. Seriously? That’s hardly an offer. The seller then lets Josh know that the other buyer was not actually on the exclusion list. Josh got his buyer up to $16.5 million. That’s his first sale in the new office full of legos.
James & David
My Chewy order finally came so that I can stop cooking for Banjo for a while. The delivery person was a female and she could not get past the driveway with the box. So I had to open the box and bring things inside indivdually. I am completely exhausted now. Some come fix Banjo a bowl.

These guys have not had much interest in their beautiful Santa Monica listing just steps from the beach. I want to live there. I don’t understand what the issue could be unless it is over priced. They listed it at just under $18 million on last week’s episode. It’s perfection. So David is on hand to do some private showings. This is a great family house with a beautiful back yard. But they have to get the seller down on the price. But the seller isn’t budging. The house has been on the market for 80 and is beyond stale. She wants to give it the full 90 days. I have a feeling that the sellers will pull the listing off the market for a second time.
Next week: FREDRICK IS BACK! And Josh Flagg is back. /highkick!
I was trying to avoid Chewy and shop local, but I’ve been heavily reliant on them during COVID-times. We’ve been going through three boxes of Whimsees a week.
It really seems like the Bird Streets are always entirely under construction! I wonder what the market is like there now. With everyone fleeing NYC, suburban houses are selling as soon as they’re listed. People just want OUT.
Perfect timing. My sister just called and told me she’s disappointed I haven’t reinvested and bought a new property after my own house sale and move three years ago. Hurts actually to see how much housing has gone up in the greater LA area, and most places around the country. Unless of course you own, or want to sell.
So, I worked very close to where the Santa Monica house is for sale. Loved the area but can understand the unusual house/land configuration this owner faces. Such kind agents, James and David genuinely seem to care about their client. I read the Scottsdale hadn’t sold (more bedrooms downstairs for starters, please).
Josh’s wife keeps reminding him how hard she works as a full time mommy. He is driven.
The house is in a good area but the problem is Long Beach has a lot of crime in certain areas, and I mean really serious crime which I think that is why there is reluctance for people to pull the trigger there also, the renovations that it needs. I kind of like it the way it is. It is a big city though, The house has some beautiful views and a lot of land which is a great. It also has views of The Queen Mary which is a majestic site and a big draw there.
This is in regards to the Josh Flagg listing in Long Beach.
That house is destine to be bought up by a developer and put up a highrise condo. My hubby had his counselor in the building next door, which is still there, not exactly where I want my 11million dollar house located? Sheesh I’d much rather spend that money on Ocean Ave updated house with a view not on that Y split road. Yeah that lady thinks this is Newport Coast, when your in LB with no waves thanks to breaker walls!
@Annabelle- I have been having a weird weekend but I think you need to know your doll may have be logging into your TT account and posting.!!!!
I so wanted to ask her was she a china doll?
@Annabelle – you better sit down for this one – i think your doll is also stealing your weed…Don’t shoot the messenger.
Lol, she’s been taking liberties ??
@Annabelle I came clean and told her I threw her under the bus.
That Scottsdale closet is in**** **credible.
I would kill for it!!!
I missed Josh Flagg! While the Arizona mansion was beautiful listening to Tracy in her boring voice was nauseating. I would rather have an hour of Flagg than three minutes of Tracy.
Really? I love Flagg, but Tracy is a baaaaad bitch. Sassy, smart, great clothes: I think she is much needed on the show since Heather isn’t selling on camera.
