Psychic Real Estate Agents

OK, I just met one more real estate agent who infers she has psychic powers. Maybe it's a California attribute, but being a psychic real estate agent is a great advantage when it comes to pricing, not to mention foreseeing encumbrances. Zillow should get into the game with Psychic AVM where psychic agents can prognosticate their Nostradestimates. And I haven't even begun with out-of-body home tours, a real timesaver for any agent.

Seriously, the psychic real estate agent has become a mildly entrenched meme in our culture... here's a review of a new rep production "I Hate Hamlet" featuring a psychic agent. The process of purchasing a home has a lot of psychic tension - am I overpaying? does this house "feel" right? did someone die in this room? - the validity of working with some sort of spiritual/psychic adviser becomes more credible (logically speaking). Tom says psychics are "cleansing" houses and agents are paying for it.

All this talk about funny psychic agents is a lead-in to the next Carnival of Real Estate... we're co-hosting with the funny Real Estate Weenie and we're inviting your most hilarious pieces, even if they are remotely related to real estate... check Transparent today for more details.
