  • Tim's favorite thing while looking at houses is profiling the people who own them.
  • Most sales is fake business—nothing is real until someone signs, which almost never happens.
  • Tim represents discerning clients in Los Angeles who don't exist, including hedge funds and investment trusts from Greenwich Connecticut.
  • TV realtors go along with his fake inquiries because they're vapid and just want someone to sign the paperwork.
  • He calls realtors from traffic to ask about comps and justify listing prices, bringing offers up to the point where they figure it out.
  • Tim only targets high-end realtors with his pranks, not the small and medium ones who actually need the money.
  • Realtors are dumb and make a lot of money—that's his favorite type of person and the embodiment of the American dream.
  • Not being educated but somehow flying by night and making a massive fortune is what the American dream actually is.
