#The Graham Stephan Show

[eskewcity]

Top 5 horror books!!!

1.The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. incredible, show stopping, never to be outdone. I will never watch the netflix adaption

2. House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. I am going to be so brave but so controversial when I say that narratively, the book is a 3/5, when you have to factor in Johnny Truant's long winded sexcapades but we cannot deny its influence for the genre of "man this house is kind of fucked up"

3. The Only Good Indians by Stephan Graham Jones. the deer!!!

4. Severance by Ling Ma. I don't know which part was worse, the zombies or the capitalism

5. Dark Matter by Michelle Paver. I literally had night terrors about a specific scene in this book for a month

Bonus: The Diviners Series by Libba Bray. It's so goofy and scary and is constantly reminding you that America in the 1920s sucked so so bad. also perfect way to learn early 20th century slang from a group of teenagers who will not stop using it every sentence

last song: will we talk by sam fender 😛

last show: am I being unreasonable which is a dark comedy/mystery on bbc written by the amazing daisy may cooper from this country. I would recommend it and anything daisy has ever been involved with bc she's excellent

currently watching: I watch all my TV with my parents so it's all on iPlayer, but rn we're watching the capture, cunk on britain/cunk on earth, a show with stephan graham (Scouse icon) called the walk in which is a true story about white supremacists in the uk. Also I'm watching drag race uk lol

current obsession: looking for a job if that counts. Also autumn fashion, chai lattes, and indie music by singers with strong regional accents

FTX lawyers have been making moves regarding lawsuits against crypto influencers and celebrities hired to promote the exchange during the height of its operations. However, the exchange looks to be finding other ways out of these legal disputes by choosing to settle with these influencers. Proposed Settlements With Other Defendants In the aftermath of FTX’s failure, lawyers came after a flurry of celebrities who had promoted the exchange in attempts to recover funds from various sources. Popular names, including Shaquille O’Neal, Tom Brady, Steph Curry, and Naomi Osaka, were named as potential defendants in the lawsuit. Crypto YouTube influencers named as defendants were BitBoy Crypto (Ben Armstrong) Graham Stephan, Ben Armstrong, Andrei Jikh, and Jaspreet Singh. Of those named by FTX, crypto influencer Ben Armstrong, popularly known as BitBoy, has been dismissed from the lawsuit as a defendant.  This was revealed in a court filing that showed that FTX lawyers have voluntarily dismissed claims against Armstrong, as the influencer failed to file an answer to the allegations brought against him. Armstrong is not the only one looking toward settlement as NFL quarterback Trevor Lawrence, one of the defendants, recently settled with FTX. Details of the settlement weren’t disclosed, but YouTubers Kevin Paffrath and Tom Nash have also decided to settle.  Making Headway In Court FTX is making headway in its aim of clawing back some of the money spent excessively by Bankman-Fried and other execs before its implosion. The failed crypto exchange made recent headlines as it looked to do away with its Bitcoin and crypto holdings. According to court filings, FTX has amassed approximately $7 billion in assets, leading to speculations of incoming liquidations. FTX also received court approval to liquidate its crypto assets of $1.16 billion in SOL, $560 million in BTC, $192 million in ETH, and other cryptocurrencies. This has led to concerns from the crypto community of a negative impact on the prices of these cryptocurrencies. All of this comes as former CEO Bankman-Fried is also set to be tried in court starting on October 3 for eight charges brought against him. The founder has continuously asked to be freed prior to his trial to aid in his defense preparation. However, the court has denied him every time. The court has also said it will consider a postponement of the former CEO’s trial date, but neither Sam Bankman-Fried nor his lawyers have indicated that they will be filing for a postponement.

Beware of Finance You Tubers! FTX and Blockfi grifters deleted the Millenial Money channel

With all the recent FTX and Blockfi drama certain Finance Youtubers are facing backlash. The guys from Millenial Money Pod - Graham Stephan, Andrei Jikh, Meet Kevin, and Jeremy from Financial Education who used to run this channel have not only deleted all the videos but went on to delete the entire channel. The reason?? The show was completely backed by FTX. They even had a big FTX logo on the screen the entire time. These all guys have their individual channels which have more than a million subs individually. These guys even shilled Blockfi and FTX on their individual channels. Now that FTX and Blockfi blew up these guys are covering their tracks and apologizing which is fine but deleting an entire channel is very very shady. Don't forget these guys must get paid a fortune to advertise for these exchanges and also must have earned a lot thru the affiliate links that they were pushing in each video. Many YouTubers have earned millions just thru affiliate links. Please Please don't trust any YouTuber going forward. Many don't have a clue and are googling stuff before recording. They may seem like experts cos of their high net worth but they aren't which is quite obvious by now. Always DYOR and remember not your key, not your coins. submitted by /u/Deep-Art3195 [link] [comments] http://dlvr.it/ScnCfS

I’ve been binge-watching the Graham Stephan show on Youtube. He gives pretty solid financial advice. I’m pretty sure he’s a part of the oppenheim group from selling sunset

[beca-mitchell]

I can respect the fact that on Selling Sunset, a lot of the realtors (Mary for example) have actually been working in the industry for a long time and have worked their way up. They didn’t go looking for reality tv fame it came to their doorstep via Adam DiVello literally knocking on the door and they’ve monopolised that to gain further reach.

But with the new crop of OC realtors, it’s harder to take them seriously or even find them likeable because it’s blatantly obvious that they were all seduced to join the Oppenheim Group, not because of the real estate industry or their desire to be respected in their field, but because of the show and the notoriety it can potentially bring. The level of narcissism that’s wafting from this new group is already turning me off.

Even the episode of SS where they first appeared at Jason’s house party and the OC crew were throwing down the gauntlet like “yeah we’ve got a better office” what I loved was when one of the OG SS ladies literally threw it back in their face like “yeah just remember it was our success that got you that office”

It’s like SS is the older generation that believe in doing a days work and earning the things you want, and OC is the younger ‘influencer’ generation that walk around with their hand out believing they’re entitled to everything while contributing little effort or anything of substance to the world they live in.

keep in mind the show itself doesn't actually portray anything remotely close to how their business actually runs.

for example, i think one of the most hardworking agents at the OG office is probably graham stephan but i guarantee most of you all don't know who he is, or if you did, you didn't know he worked for the oppenheim group.

so while i appreciate this analysis (and the flood of analytical messages I've gotten this past day), i don't think a lot of what you're saying is grounded in objectivity.

when it comes down to it, the optics for the show are likely just optics to us but there's so much going on behind the scenes that we don't know. sean palmieri was introduced in the last season of selling sunset before we knew he was going to be a main 'character' in selling the oc, but people who are just jumping on the train to hate watch selling the oc wouldn't know that. he was just an agent that jason and brett knew through their dealings in the oc. they had/have their reasons for taking on all these supposedly "junior" agents in our eyes but likely these people have the connections they need (unfortunately) to be successful in the oc.

it's not like the selling sunset ladies were oozing professionalism either lol. speaking as somebody who actively watched/watches selling sunset LMAO

Smutty Blog Introduction

Hello fellow earthlings! I’ve been debating for a while now on whether or not to become more active on this platform. Given the short nature (ish) of the content here, it seems like a good option given that I’m currently quite busy with Uni and other life stuff in general, but still feel that writer’s itch and wish to write down thoughts and ideas to explore some creative avenues.

She gives an amazing performance. King Kong - Broadway - August 10, 2019 FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Christiani Pitts (Ann Darrow), Eric William Morris (Carl Denham), Erik Lochtefeld (Lumpy) NOTES: The full show, recorded from the rear orchestra on a phone. Most of the video is the August 10th recording but occasionally some promotional footage and the February 9th video are edited in to provide other views. The recording starts off with a lot of wandering, shakiness, and washout but gets better somewhat better as it goes on. Still not as good as an actual video filmed with a camera, but it exists. 1920x1080p, 4.29 GB.

This is somewhat more obstructed than other shows because the person in front was leaning forward and moving a lot, so there's a head in some of the scenes. Some shakiness and wandering in between, particularly at the beginning, but otherwise a good video with nice closeups. Complete show including curtain call.

A little on the dark side, in black and white with a slight blue tinge, has producer’s counter numbers hard-coded on the screen in the upper third. This version of the show was produced for the launch of a new station in the UK. After months of preparing the launch of the new television station—with it’s brand-new 625 line resolution (until then UK TV’s had a resolution of 405 lines)—the night turned out to be a disaster. 50 minutes before the launch, a fire broke out at a local power station, cutting power to most of London but not the television station. They started the evening’s news show which was to be followed by this broadcast, but it soon became clear that there was no audience, and after a few minutes, the schedule was abandoned. The production was instead shown the next day. The date that’s superimposed on the video is April 20, 1964—the originally scheduled night.

One thing I did during quarantine was get my money right. I thought I was “okay” with money before but now looking back, I knew nothing about financial literacy and planning for the future. They don’t teach this stuff in schools. My parents didn’t really ingrain this stuff in me other than being frugal. The past year has just shown me that we need to be prepared for anything and that nothing is guaranteed. 

Especially help from the government. We have to be prepared to handle emergencies and unexpected events because when we need it most, more often than not, the government will not be there to help us, keep a roof over our heads, or provide life-saving health care if we need it. We are on our own. We got one $1200 check 6 months ago and they said ok cool bye.

And especially for first-generation children of immigrants, we can’t rely on the same generational wealth that our more privileged peers have. We have multi-generational families and aging parents to take care of. We need to build our own legacies and systems to take care of our people, communities, and causes that we care about. My favorite financial educator @heyberna said it best, “Budgeting is my favorite political tool. Money is the language of power in this crappy world. This is why we budget. So you and I can confidently do something, anything, when it really really matters.” 

I used to be a shopping addict and also used credit to get by when I was earning less at the start of my career. I racked up serious debt in the past from emotional spending and living beyond my means and didn’t have real goals for the future until I met Andy. Quarantine also helped me put what was really important to me in perspective. I’m not going out anymore so clothes and shoes really don’t matter. I purged my closet and took everything to Crossroads. I don’t need to put my value in the stuff I own or wear because my goals are clear. Financial independence!

Things that happened in 2020 that made me take money more seriously:

idk a global pandemic and resulting recession 

mutual aid organizations needed donations to meet the needs of communities hurt by racial injustice 

i discovered many financial educators and literacy advocates on instagram and youtube and learned a TON

my old 401k lost a lot of value when the markets crashed

my job as a contractor almost ended in March and again in November

friends were losing their jobs

insane wildfires in Oregon only 15 miles away

relationship started to get more serious

i got house fever while WFH

Changes I made in 2020 to better prepare for the future:

paid off all my outstanding credit card debt

aggressively paid off my car loan to be debt free 

figured out all my necessary expenses and budgeted what I would do with each paycheck 

established a fully funded 3 month emergency fund, will expand to 6 months at some point

divested all my money from the devil Wells Fargo and into a local community credit union

opened a first time homebuyer savings account with my credit union to save for a downpayment during the next 2.5 years 

started high yield savings accounts to save for travel and a wedding

will max out my Roth IRA by the end of 2020

opened and will max out my HSA by the end of 2020, will use this $ in the future when we have a baby

learned a TON about investing and opened my first brokerage account to start investing in index funds. make your money grow for you!

shared everything i learned with my family!!

涼しい!

This is supposed to be the Huey season, and this time, we finally get an episode focused solely on the red sibling. In fact, the blue and green siblings don't even appear in this episode beyond Huey mentioning "the brothers" one time. We already start off with an issue Huey seems to have: he's so by the book, that at the Junior Woodchuck's celebration of National S'more Day, he has to specifically measure the graham cracker to marshmallow combo.

This overly specific measuring is made fun of by a bully who bares a striking resemblance to one of the Beagle Boys. The credits call him "Bully Beagle", though he doesn't appear long enough to reveal any kind of connection to them besides his looks. He does appear long enough to compare Huey to a robot, as he marvels at his own concoction that features many marshmallows and some donuts stuck between them. Everyone else laughs, because even a Beagle Boy is more relatable than him.

Definitely not speaking of robots, we get to see the return of Boyd, who is definitely a real boy and wants to be friends with Huey. To Huey's delight, he shows his true knowledge by commenting that his S'mores stick is cut perfectly to Woodchuck guidelines, and knows a guideline so well that he's able to speak it at the same time as Huey. It's no wonder that he's an expert with the way of the Junior Woodchucks, saying that he practically has it downloaded to his head!

Relieved to see another boy who follows the Woodchuck guidebook cover to cover, he tells Boyd to ready the fire for some by-the-book s'mores making. With all of those specific denials, even the people who didn't see his debut episode can repeat in their heads, "he's going to shoot lasers, he's going to shoot lasers, he's going to shoot lasers..."

Yup, he shot lasers. Thankfully, Huey has his back turned, claiming that their totally non-robotic and yet rule following selves make them a rare breed. Unfortunately, “rare breed” ended up causing a glitch in Boyd's memory banks, causing him to use his laser eyes in a way Huey couldn’t ignore, causing a fire. In a forest. Smokey Bear wouldn’t be too happy about how much this gets brushed off.

Huey makes it to Gyro's underwater lab, apparently keeping Boyd's eyes closed the entire time, to talk to Dr. Gearloose about that laser eye problem. Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera, the intern, tells him that he's a scientist, and he should be able to help...until Boyd opens his eyes and has lasers tear through one of the windows, which Manny the Headless Man-Horse has to lock up with metal doors.

He is at least ready enough to give him red sunglasses that stop the lasers, just like that character that Disney may or may not have the film rights to. Fenton decides to elevate this to Dr. Gearloose, who reveals that he has a connection to Boyd...

...as revealed by him backing away in fear.

Gyro: Manny, get this dangerous machine out of my lab!

Manny: (morses) Which one?

This is an actual second joke from Manny the Headless Man-Horse, even if it should be pretty clear which of the inevitably dangerous machines he's talking about.

Revealing his actual name to be 2BO, Gearloose tells Huey that he was one of his failed experiments. Or, rather, it was one of his failed experiments. Right from his very first interaction, it's clear there's a huge contrast between Gyro Gearloose's relation with what is essentially his own child and Huey's new friendship. The C3PO-like name, and him using pronouns more fitting for objects.

Huey does call out a few things about Gyro's behavior, and one of them is that he's usually saying that the inventions that were actively trying to kill people are just "wildly misunderstood." However, Gyro just knows 2BO is different, and this sudden personality change will be justified later. However, he does seem to have a sort of soft spot for the bad robot, as he offers a fix for that thing's problems. Unfortunately, he needs more fitting equipment than what he has in this lab, and the only place that would have it is the lab of his old mentor...in Japan.

No time for an opening, just the logo in Japanese and that's it. That's right, they're going to Tokyo, Japan, or Tokyolk, Japan. Not sure how to put that in kanji.

As soon as they land in Tokyolk, Gyro immediately gets slammed to a car by Inspector Tezuka. Besides the homage to Astro Boy creator Osamu Tezuka in her name, she's totally supposed to be Inspector Zenigata from Lupin The 3rd. A person who even looks like the titular guy Zenigata was chasing after cameos throughout this episode, but she has far more pressing matters at her hands, like capturing the crook that was making killer robots that destroy cities. As soon as one potential killer robot nearly gets caught, Lil Bulb distracts her with some binary graffiti and itself, and they run off to the lab.

Using GizmoDuck to break through the now abandoned old lab, him showing off he can partially transform with just the word “Blath”, Boyd can't help but say how familiar this place is. The intern just can't help but check out his boss's old stuff, too, putting on his old lab coat and looking at dusty microscopes.

Using the equipment, Gyro hooks Boyd up to a chair. To stop his malfunctioning for good, Gyro has to search through his memory banks to find his core. This means we get to see his past memories from reverse order, Memento style. It's not necessarily Rashomon style, but maybe that's just not how I remembered it.

We get to see Boyd's last two owners. Along with Doofus Drake, who is trying to ruin his mother's pearls, we see Mark Beaks, the guy that was trying to pass off Boyd as his, um . I must say, while it's not surprising that Mark Beaks didn't invent him like he said he did, as that's just his shtick for the last two seasons, it is a wonder that Boyd just happened to look exactly like a young version of him even before Mark Beaks took him in.

However, even an evil crook like Mark Beaks knew that 2BO is a sorry name for a little kid robot, and he was the one that would give him something close to a real name. He also didn't want to even touch him, never mind give him a hug, but he is at least smart enough to not touch garbage. By the way, that line about not touching really aged well, didn't it?

Gyro even reminds us of this contrast, as Huey remarks that Boyd must have had a terrible life living with a creep and a crook. Gyro simply remarks,

Gyro: It doesn't feel anything!

Interesting to have him be in the shadows in that shot, too, as if to show that he's the person with the wrong opinions here. This robot hatred ended up being so blatant, that Lil Bulb shorts out. This ends up distracting Gyro, leading to Fenton to come up with his own plan for Boyd: make him a superhero! It's a good time to do that, as Fenton's GizmoDuck arm notifies him of a robbery. They run off, not noticing that the security cameras happen to be on. Hmm, it is rather curious that this old lab still seems to have working equipment, as if the electricity bill is still getting paid.

As soon as those security cameras are shown, that bill payer is revealed to be Dr. Akita, the mentor of Gyro Gearloose, and the one scientist Gyro himself has interned for. We did see little glimpses of him in Boyd's memory glitch from the opening scene, but this is the first time we get to hear him speak. Anyone can guess he's evil; not only is he staring evilly at his old intern walking into his building, he's revealed to have an anime avatar on his computer. Ooh, the true mark of evil!

We cut to that robbery from earlier, as two pigs are about to be chased by two different cops. Wait, that shouldn't be right. Kind of missing the opportunity for Fenton to shout "thering Blatherskite", but it leads to a cool chase scene nonetheless, with GizmoDuck rolling around, and Boyd using his robotic biking abilities to bike across walls. GizmoDuck ends up capturing one of the bad guys, but the other?

Well, Fenton didn’t really get to the “what to do with the criminal after they get cornered” part, so Boyd politely asks her to take back that money that she obviously must have taken by mistake. Of course, she does not oblige. GizmoDuck does give him a pointer that the standing down should come after the criminal gets dealt with, but Boyd simply doesn’t want to hurt people. Well, so much for that plan.

It's here where Gyro fixes up Lil Bulb, and realizes that Fenton, the kid, and the not-so-kid are gone.

Gyro: IN-TEEEEERN!

Uh oh, Spaghetti-O's! That is kind of a note to Gyro's character, too. He doesn't call his intern by his name, either, and it seems he would use it pronouns for him if he could get away with it.

The next day, while Inspector Tezuka reveals that she caught the other burglar and will give that guy in the robot suit a stern talking to, Boyd would rather enjoy the sights of Tokyolk than go back to the lab again. Oh no, back to the lab again. You messed up, back to the lab again. ...sorry, that song will forever be stuck in my head.

Anyway, it's montage time! Not every scene has a joke about Boyd being "wired a little differently", as Huey put it earlier in the episode, as there are some relatively normal scenes sprinkled with Boyd literally sucking up bowls of Udon like a vacuum cleaner. I do mean literally, and I always mean literally.

It all ends with Huey on the observation area of Tokyolk Tower, remarking that hanging out with him proves that he's not a killer robot. Apparently, that's the best thing anyone has ever said to him, and that's sadly fitting considering his last three owners. As Huey puts his picture in the JWD, the wind blows it away. Huey grabs it, only to lose his footing on the tower, falling from it.

Left with no choice, Boyd had to show off one of his killer robot abilities again, but this time to prevent an accidental killing: his rocket feet! Unfortunately, they run into Gyro Gearloose, Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera and Inspector NoFirstName Tezuka, who all now seem to share the same opinion: those rocket feet just mean that his combat systems are active again. Gyro decides to show him the memory he was trying to get to.

He was made to be a robot that defended Tokyolk with his special abilities, like his laser eyes and rocket boots. No word on whether or not he has machine guns in his butt, though. However, much like his future inventions. We learn that this was the first robot that became evil, and ever since, his penchant for making robots continued. This gives his attitude towards his own creation a little more weight.

As an aside, while we get glimpses of his past self, this is the first time I was able to put a screenshot of it. I must say that it's a neat touch that Past Gyro looks like the original Gyro from the comics, and, by extension, the Gyro from the original 1987 cartoon. It goes a bit further than that, actually, and I'm not going to spoil it here.

This scene also reveals that fix was more like a deletion, and that makes Boyd real angry. Well, that, or maybe that anger was artificially caused by this episode's real villain.

No, not Glomgold, though I do wonder where he has been since this season started. Apparently, he's been selling Japanese energy drinks like Schwarzenegger did back in the 90's!

No, it was Dr. Akita, of course, and he has become a total bad guy since the day Boyd destroyed Tokyolk. He was hiding in the shadows, though that's mostly because living underground has given him an aversion to sunlight. I'm a little disappointed that gag doesn't continue after this scene.

This leads to the seemingly once an episode fight scene with a bunch of the characters we know and love and will still love. Specifically, this is GizmoDuck vs. the evil 2BO/Boyd. It is very anime fight scene, but not in the "lol isn't anime so wacky" kind of way. There's even a well animated Macross Missile Massacre, as shown here; they really knew how to do it.

A big reveal happens in the middle of this, and I will admit it's one of those cliche "the one part of the memory that changes absolutely everything that was just ignored for no adequate reason" scenes. It’s not that I don’t appreciate it, though, as this is where that "further than that" comes in.

To make it as vague as possible, this basically puts Gyro in the position to learn something in the end of the episode. In fact, this is more of a Gyro episode than a Huey episode. Sure, it's more of a Huey episode than, say, the Mervana one, but it's not like his character changed significantly in the course of this episode. I mean, Huey saw him as a kid since the beginning.

Can Gyro see his creation as a kid and potentially fix that "becoming evil" problem? The conclusion is rather sudden, mostly because they seemingly had to wrap it up in under 3 minutes, but it's still satisfying nonetheless. It changes the status quo even more than one might expect, too, but I already given away enough.

How does it stack up?

It's a great story about a character that may have only really existed just as a gag in one episode, with a great use of anime influences that never become the usual "lol Japan so wacky" stereotypes. No doubt about it, this is a 5 Scrooges episode.

Next, oh boy, another Ragnarok. Can't be any worse than the last time I had to cover one.

De beste vastgoedseries op een rijtje...

Zoek je een bezigheid tijdens de lockdown of ben je geïnteresseerd in vastgoed? Dan zijn deze series zeker en vast iets voor jou!

Selling Sunset

 In deze serie krijg je het leven van een vastgoedmakelaar te zien. Je ziet hoe ze te werk gaan in hun kantoorruimte maar ze nemen je ook mee in hun rondleidingen doorheen verschillende luxueuze panden in Amerika. De makers van deze serie maken het met een beetje drama ook heel spannend. Het is een reality-reeks en je ziet herkenbare dingen die in ons dagelijks leven ook voorkomen: ruzies met vrienden, relatieproblemen, kinderen met werk combineren,…. Op het einde van een aflevering heb je altijd al zin om de volgende te bekijken. ‘The Oppenheim-Group’ die in deze serie naar voren komt bestaat dus ook echt (‘reality-reeks’): je kunt hun panden bekijken en je kunt zelfs een afspraak maken indien je geïnteresseerd bent. Op hun website https://ogroup.com/ kun je alvast een kijkje nemen! Hun site is magnifiek in elkaar gestoken en de panden zijn om op verliefd te worden!

Persoonlijk vind ik dat ik in deze serie veel bijgeleerd heb voor mijn toekomstig werkleven. Je krijgt te zien hoe je het best met klanten omgaat, hoe je een leuke rondleiding kan geven en hoe je op de beste manier reclame maakt voor je panden. In deze serie krijg je ook verschillende zaken te zien die je later zeker niet moet doen met je klant. Het is alsof zij al de problemen meemaken speciaal voor jou zodat jij deze in de toekomst kan vermijden. In ‘The Oppenheim-Group zitten zowel heel ervaren makelaars als nieuwe groentjes. Van beide soorten kun je echt veel leren. Doordat er nieuwe makelaars bijkomen in de serie kan je al een beetje proeven van hoe het is om beginner te zijn in het vak. 

Naast de tips die ik meekreeg voor een goede klantgerichtheid, verklapt ‘The Oppenheim Group ook de geheimen achter de dure vastgoedprijzen. Je leert er hoe je de waarde van een pand kan laten stijgen door kleine dingen aan te passen. Wat deze dingetjes zijn zal ik niet verklappen, daarvoor moet u zelf de serie gaan bekijken. Het meest prachtige moment in deze serie die me zal bijblijven is dat één van de makelaars trouwt op een pand die te koop stond. Dat pand was diezelfde avond meteen verkocht!

Ik raad deze serie zeker aan, aan alle makelaars, studenten in vastgoed maar ook aan mensen die gewoon eens willen investeren in vastgoed! De serie is te bekijken op Netflix tot en met seizoen 3. Het 4de seizoen is ook al op weg en zou vermoedelijk ergens in 2021 op Netflix komen. Ik wil je alvast een voorproefje geven met volgende trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlRsOWkzFgM&ab_channel=Netflix

Krijg je niet genoeg van deze serie of wil je je kennis nog wat meer uitbreiden? Een makelaar die deel uitmaakt van ‘The Oppenheim Group’ maar die niet meespeelt in de serie heeft een eigen YouTube-kanaal waar hij vertelt over vastgoed, investeringen en andere geldzaken. Deze makelaar genaamd Graham Stephan kan je vinden op deze link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV6KDgJskWaEckne5aPA0aQ De video’s over investeren zijn zeker een must!

Million Dollar Beach House

 Naast ‘Selling Sunset’ wil ik ‘Million Dollar Beach House’ aan jullie voorstellen. Deze serie bevat veel drama maar de vakantiehuizen zijn zo mooi dat het zeker een aanrader is van te bekijken. De vastgoedmakelaars in deze serie proberen in het hartje van ‘The Hamptons’ tweede verblijfspanden te verkopen. Panden waar mensen hun vakantie kunnen doorbrengen en eventueel hun huurgelden mee kunnen opkrikken. The Hamptons is één van de meest exclusieve plekken ter wereld op vlak van badplaatsen. Deze leuke stranden zijn ideaal voor surflessen of het spotten van celebrities.

Net zoals de vorige serie is deze ook heel interessant en leerrijk. Ik heb opnieuw mijn ervaring kunnen bijschaven qua klantgerichtheid, kennis van panden, … In deze serie leer je hoe je kunt omgaan met de felle concurrentie. In de ‘The Hamptons’ is er nu eenmaal veel concurrentie, iedereen wil wel onderhandelen in het vastgoed op deze unieke ligging. Je krijgt de kans van vijf, heel ambitieuze, makelaars te volgen. Je ziet hoe ze te werk gaan en hoe ze onderhandelen met de meest moeilijke klanten die je maar kunt hebben. De vijf makelaars werken bij ‘Nest Seekers’, een internationaal vastgoedkantoor. Nest Seekers onderhandelt in Londen, Manhattan, Los Angeles, Brooklyn en zoveel meer. Je kunt hun oogverblindende website bekijken op de volgende link: https://www.nestseekers.com/

Na het kijken van het eerste seizoen ben ik al verliefd geworden op het gezellig vakantiespotje. Ik zou het zeker en vast eens willen bezoeken. Wanneer het volgend seizoen uitkomt is nog niet zeker maar ik zal hem in ieder geval al zeker bekijken!

Kijk alvast volgende trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmtAZKXb6kU&ab_channel=Netflix

Om af te sluiten wil ik naast bovenstaande series over vastgoed verkopen ook enkele series mededelen over interieurinrichting en architectuur. Deze series kan je inspiratie doen borrelen tot het uiterste. Moest je later zelf heel unieke panden willen bouwen en creëren dan raad ik deze series ook aan:

The world’s most extraordinary homes

 In deze verbluffende serie heb ik de meest prachtige panden gezien die je maar kan inbeelden. Architecten laten hun creativiteit helemaal los en maken de meest fantastische huizen. Deze show is mede mogelijk gemaakt door Architect Piers Taylor en actrice Caroline Quentin. Ze reizen de wereld af en bezoeken deze ongelooflijke parels die je in deze serie ziet. Eén van deze prachtige panden kan je hier zien: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy65kXAF7GU&ab_channel=BBC

Amazing Interiors

In veel afleveringen van deze serie krijg je echt mooi ingerichte huizen te zien die je eventuele inspiratie kan geven voor het inrichten van bepaalde panden. Soms komen ook de meest rare inrichtingssmaken naar boven maar dit maakt de serie wel leuk. De meeste huizen in deze reeks zijn maar heel gewone huizen, maar eenmaal je binnenkomt verschiet je van hoe het ingericht is. Ze zijn op speciale en unieke wijze ingericht. Deze serie is in elkaar geknutseld door Jude Parker. Bekijk de trailer hier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia-Hclo-ITs&feature=emb_logo&ab_channel=truly

 Veel kijkplezier!
