I have a giant blue Marlin that is 9 feet 6 inches long for sale. Real estate agents are constantly complaining about the commissions we make on short sales and distressed properties. This is justified with banks constantly renegotiating commission between the agent and the home seller. It seems strange because they are not party to the contract. Part of my commission from the last sale is going to be a giant blue Marlin.

I work with a lot of investors so this house did not even hit the mls. Finding real estate deals that are not on the mls is the key to being a great agent for an investor. The client will be moving out on Monday and will be going from a 5 bed 2 bath house to a two bedroom apartment. Obviously they don't even have room for all of their furniture plus a Big Beautiful Blue Marlin, it takes up a lot of room. I lowered my real estate commission in order to make the deal work. It had to work for both the homeowner and the investor. In order to help me try to get value from the deal, I'm getting this giant mounted blue marlin.

Man, I wish I had more blog subscribers to get this out to as many people as possible. I may get stuck with a mounted blue marlin. The trash out people are coming on Monday to clear out the house, and if you've ever seen it done, it's not pretty at all. I hate to see it and it's a tragedy in so many ways. I did manage to help the homeowner avoid a foreclosure, get cash in the pocket, help coordinate their move, structure a deal that will actually improve their credit, and save as many of their possessions as possible. A mounted blue marlin is going to be left behind and I refuse to let it just be destroyed.

Part of the problem is just figuring out the transportation and storage of a mounted blue marlin. I don't have a pickup, I've got a Hyundai Azera for taking clients around town. My wife has a Suzuki Grand Vitara, a compact SUV. We might have to strap it onto the roof. If we have to make a sudden stop, the mounted blue marlin may not like it. I'm not even sure the strapping on the roof will work. The home is about three blocks from our house and we might have to carry it. My wife is not excited by this at all. I don't even know how much a giant blue marlin weighs. I would like a local buyer to be able to pick it up from the house directly. I don't want to have storage and transportation involved at all. If that mounted blue marlin has to sit in my garage or be moved to my basement, the deal will be much worse for the end buyer. I can take it directly to the UPS store and have shipped anywhere in the United States.

I would love your help on this. I'm willing to pay a commission or a referral fee for finding this mounted blue marlin a home be it a bar, restaurant, or a private individual. We will convey the fish story along with the Marlin. A great, well-written blog will be written if the marlin is acquired by a public restaurant to give them some free publicity. I did my part and saved a home from foreclosure in Littleton, CO. Let's find a good home for this guy, not the giant trash bin or my basement storage room.

If I end up keeping it, I'll give it to the first homeseller who gives me a listing. I can also give it to the next investor who provides me with private capital to purchase a fix and flip or a buy and hold.

If you are looking for an agent who is a creative negotiator, wait until you hear the rest of this tale.
