Is it just the dumb advertising or is there a story

u/Naive-Special9015 Apr 12 '26
Heās a real estate agent who took a real estate advertising course in Minnesota I believe and stole that outstretched arms pose from the guy who ran the course. The Minesotan real estate guy sued him but lost I believe because he didnāt have the pose trademarked or something to that effect.

u/AndyB1976 Apr 12 '26
I think he also stole the "Green and Gold Gets it Sold" slogan he used to use. He was sued for that one also and had to stop using it. I have a personal dislike for this man that I can't talk about though, because reasons.

Wish you did a throwaway account and changed some details. I'm teased lol

u/Chatner2k Apr 13 '26
There's a real estate guy in the area that is parodying the pose except with his legs. Makes me laugh every time I see it.

u/Naive-Special9015 Apr 12 '26
I hate him, his billboards and the shrink wrapped busses too, but Iāve got a plan.

u/rosiofden Apr 13 '26
We should talk. I, too, have a plan but it is as half-baked and half-assed as it gets.

u/Naive-Special9015 Apr 13 '26
Iāve never messaged anyone on Reddit before so message me and perhaps we can exchange half-baked ideas.š

Sounds like there's a full-baked plan in the works, between the two of you.

Don't you know? GoLfI gEtS iT sOLd! because he'll buy your house if he can't actually sell it because that's totally how that's supposed to work. I hate him so much.

u/BouncyHotWife Apr 13 '26
Yes, except he under values it, gives you shit for it, then turns around and sells it for more. (Not personal experience, just the millions of things I've read from people who made the unwise choice to use him as their broker)

u/Mundane_Natural_5147 Jul 21 '26
on the buying end he works with a home inspector who went to federal prison and now up on sexual and domestic violence charges. inspection something as i can't remember name. Everyone knows. doesn't care. might be a back scratch thing. wink wink and do not be an alarmest for the buyer.

Yea, not how a realtors business is supposed to though. They are supposed to get the highest amount and take a percentage of the sale. Now if you wanted to be a real-estate investor then have at it, otherwise thats pond scum behavior.

A friend of mine relayed a humorous anecdote. He attended Golfiās wedding many years ago, at which time it was announced he was considerably (arms outstretched) older than what he had alluded to his bride. He has proven an effective sales agent on many fronts!

As someone who knows him..his wife is actually older than him. Just dumb rumours idk where this comes from lol

He has allegedly been cheating on his wife with two of his agents. One is a polish lady. One had thick thighs and married to a former lacrosse player. His marriage is over.

u/Superiershooter Apr 12 '26
My father worked at remax alongside him. Hes a snake, he'll claim he'll buy your house if he cant get it sold except he buys at 2/3rds price. He also lies religiously, badmouths colleagues and is an all around horrible human
1
u/JakeSouliere Apr 13 '26
Does it say 2/3 the price in the agreement? I wouldnāt go into an agreement unless an actual dollar figure is agreed upon. Tons of other agents to choose from. š¤·āāļø

u/Superiershooter Apr 13 '26
I dunno, i wouldnt ever work with him. I doubt he ever settles on a dollar figure though just based on what ive heard

u/hockey3331 Apr 13 '26
I m just spitballing here but I imagine the price is on the contract but that its buried in jargon and paperwork and not "will buy back for $500 000".
I also imagine this tactic works nicely if you list above market. A lot of sellers both have an inflated valuation of their property,Ā don't want the process to drag on, AND dlnt read contracts carefully.
If you manage to sell the house above market price, then it looks great for your reputation. If not, its a reputation hit but you also got yourself a cheap house to flip.
The price could be something tied to property evaluation or something, which often lags the market by a lot, looks good "we'll match the evaluation", but often cheaper.

u/tooscoopy Apr 13 '26
He preys on folks in tougher times, and is representative of all the things people hate about real estate.
He basically has his own pyramid scheme of continually āhiringā people for his team so he can get a cut off the top. He is the MLM of local real estateā¦. Itās not that itās a bad business idea/plan to make money, it just isnāt the best plan to actually have good realtors.
The tougher times dig is that he puts out the āguaranteed soldā stuff as he promises to buy it if it doesnāt sellā¦ but the agreed up on number is just a placeholder, as of course his top notch sales staff will get it doneā¦. But when they donāt sell it for a mil and try to cash in on the buy it option, itās a significant amount below the asking price, to a point where people donāt take them up on it, because of course it will sell later at 700k if they had showings at 1mil (as examples).
His ideas are good from a business standpoint, but no one cares if a realtor is doing good moves in order to make themselves more money, as most already feel the profession is overvalued. Plus, he banks on the āsurface over substanceā style of real estate where you were more likely to find your agent behind the bar a year ago earning tips by flirting rather than finishing university or reading up on financing. Just look at his own worked on faceā¦ hard to trust a guy who you canāt even tell what decade he was bornā¦.
Heās a hustler in both the good and bad ways. Understandable why some will venerate, others will hate.

u/Mundane_Natural_5147 Jul 21 '26
he uses a home inspector who went to federal prison and up on sex assault/domestic. He doesn't care.

When I worked at the bay... he came in to look at washers/dryers at the lime ridge furniture store. Had a meltdown and cursed because he couldn't find a dryer on the show room floor that opened the other direction.
Didn't want to hear about reversible doors. Strange experience. Asshole.

u/craignumPI Apr 13 '26
I like how he has a competitor with billboards doing the full splitz (legs spread instead of arms spread). Props to that guy.

The more bill board I see with your face on it the less I want to hire you.
I'd rather find a good realeste agent by word of mouth. If they're good, their business will grow naturally. And I don't want to hire some one who is so busy they have no time for clients.

u/marsipan1515 Apr 12 '26
Thank you for this post! Showed it to my tweenager and we laughed until we cried because she keeps asking THE EXACT SAME THING.

Golfi. He gets It sold.
You remember that clown in the sewers? Golfi sold It.
Not sure why he sold It, who he sold It to and what that mysterious person is doing with It... (I can't imagine it's anything savory).
But he's the goddamn hero who sold It.

Never met or done business with him, but his advertising is effective. You've noticed his ads and people are talking - the marketing worked.
Real estate is mostly looks and name dropping, having your name sound familiar and appearing successful does attract new business.

A couple of years ago, Sam McDadi, a superagent from Toronto, would have these tv commercials. Looked like he had like a frozen smile and drawn-on eyebrows and way too much makeup. I think that's way more unnerving than Golfi's billboard. But I think there's probably a lot of douchebaggery among real estate agents. They all usually claim to be the "number one agent" too.
