–Carolyn Burnham, American Beauty
While the movie didn’t exactly portray realtors in a positive light, Annette Bening’s stripped-down cleaning frenzy in American Beauty is perhaps one of the most memorable moments in real estate fiction.
Most listing agents won’t go to the lengths Carolyn did to sell a house, but I’ve heard of agents cleaning, painting, offering snacks, and even bringing their own ideal residents.
Seattleites tend to favor a more low-key sales approach. But with inventory up, you never know what you might find at one of these Northeast Seattle open houses this weekend.
All open houses are Sunday September 30 from 1-4, unless otherwise specified.
