Well, I know how much you ladies love a good real estate listing. Not sure you're prepared for this one. Courtesy of The Guardian.Get your groove on and, please, SHOES OFF THE KITCHEN COUNTER!  (no, seriously) Enjoy this timeless beauty. I mean, the firm is called LJ Hooker... What were we expecting?  Fortunately, Twitter has us covered for the rest of the entertainment: |

You mean you and your DH don't act like that when he gets home?
ETA - he's a rubbish swimmer and diver but the house is stunning.

Eh 🤷🏻♀️ I was expecting so much worse from the post. It does really show off the house and if I were in the market for a home in that area/price range I’d go look at it.

It's really fascinating in a "I can't believe what I'm seeing" kind of way. And they will get a crazy amount of publicity from this. I agree with johnnysmom as well that it does showcase all the features of the house well. |

I think it's a fabulous idea- change up how you showcase a house and get attention. I'm not diggin' the sexy vibe going on but I think the overall idea is great.

I’m an agent so I watch shows and look at these “new” ideas to drum up business. I couldn’t look away from the video....it was very engaging. I don’t know if it engaged in a good way or a bad way, but either way that video did it’s job. It got the attention for the home!!

I agree with johnnysmom as well that it does showcase all the features of the house well. I think for the majority of the video the cameraman pans way too quickly through the rooms so you never really get to see the features of the house itself, and the antics of the people in the video further distract the viewer from what they should be paying attention to. I’d call it a fail based on those two points alone. |

I think the two people “acting” in it greatly over estimate their sex appeal.
It is like a SNL skit, but I do think the house is cool.

DYING with a case of the giggles. So much wrong with that video that I don't even know where to start. And could they please get someone who can actually dive and swim for the pool portion?!?

Horrible music! I had turn off the video.
Wouldn't the bedroom windows constantly need to be washed down because of water splashing up from the pool?

I just can’t get over how living in that house would actually feel like being in a fishbowl. So.Much.Glass!  I’ll pass. |

Okay I laughed through the whole video.. I guess it is better than what I have been looking at.. HORRIBLE pictures that zoom in on random crap.. who wants to see a picture of a closeup of a sink (I'm talking plain jane sink, not some over the top sink) or a white wall?? OYE.. Who are these idiots?
I really do love the pool around the bedroom.. I thought that was pretty dang cool. Practical? I don't know? For the windows.. I wouldn't have to worry about that.. it would be the maid's job!! Or the window washer's job.. hahaha

I thought it was a great advert! The couple were so boring that I HAD to concentrate on the house to avoid them. The house is stunning but I would need staff too. I’m not clean and tidy enough to live there otherwise.

The ad has actually been pulled. Seems like the cheese factor was too high.

I liked it! It was like Josh's video on Million Dollar Listing... kinda cheesy... It helped sell his house.

Ummmmm.. let me think... maybe some kind of hidden platform that comes out so they could walk on would work??  I mean I am going to be super busy laying on the kitchen counter while my hot man has his way with me...  |

The house is stunning but a little too cold for my taste. It feels more like a luxury hotel than a home.

Longer than a 36” inseam. 😉 |

I actually didn't think it was too bad or that suggestive really. I've seen far worse advertising perfume on the television. Stunning house though but far too "clean" and uninviting for my taste.
