Hey gang, I'm taking a break from the Okinawa recaps to start a new feature here on the old blogster, "Weirdos of Real Estate". From the bench ads to infomercials, there are a lot of weirdos in real estate. I have amassed a compendium of images, still and moving, and am thrilled to share them with you all. Without any further ado, I give you number one with a bullet: Tom Vu.
Tom Vu is a 1980s/90s icon. He is an entrepreneur, family man, humanitarian (as reported by the Orlando tribune) and real estate mogul. If you watched TV late at night, you saw him. I used to sleep with the TV on to block out the noise of my parents' late-night pool parties. And it was during these midnight hours that I was first introduced to the splendor that is Mr. Vu.
For those of you who don't remember, Tom Vu presented a series of late night infomercials which informed you that he knew the answers to great financial success. He urged you to sign up for his unique real estate seminars. It appears that he called up some local college students and paid em $50 bucks to create these mini-masterpieces. Rather than attempt to describe how odd and perverse these videos were, simply enjoy for yourselves.
(Vu in 2005)
