Madison Hildebrand
Easy Tiger: Madison talks about Josh's creepy client and opens up about his sexuality.

1 of 2 pages

Emotional, surprising and funny is how I describe episode two. My two female clients, Laura and Kim, have very strong personalities and they mean business in this episode. It was a total shock when Laura accepted that offer over the phone for $3,000,000! I feel like the scene was so much bigger in real life then it actually played out on television. Heather and I were ecstatic; we even did a little dance in the office. I was happy for Laura because she really wanted to be done with the “for sale” process.

Can we talk about my assistant, Heather, in this episode. She looked so beautiful in her heels with her sexy self.

Then we have Kim and her recently finished remodel, which took so much time, we saw the market come and go. Kim’s timing was tough because she completed the home smack dab in the middle of what I call the “frozen period” of real estate. She was in such denial and there was nothing I could say or do to have her see it any other way, but her home was simply not worth what she wanted. She even called her numerologist in a futile attempt to convince someone, anyone but me, that her home was worth three million dollars. That is one of the most frustrating things about this market; some clients refuse to accept the reality. You saw me tell her point blank with a stack of comparables in my hand. Most of the time I end up watching their home’s value slip away with time. It is unfortunate.

Enough business chatter…let’s get on with the story about Josh’s client asking for the tenant’s girlfriend in exchange for his house. Easy tiger, seriously, just the one request was prodding the boundaries of “creepy," but with three attempts you certainly qualify as desperate and weird. But it makes great television - without that scene, it would have been boring, right?

You are so cool, compared to the others, If I had my choice to HANG with one of you 3, I'd pick you.

But, the show has gotten boring.....What kills me is they put up a big tease.....like Chad screaming OH MY GOD, THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! Then, when it is shown.....he has
only spilled a bowl of cereal on the floor. Come on Bravo, stop turning nothing into something.

I just wish on that real estate offer you'd coached your client to make a counter offer and not just accept that 3million even if she did sound sick of the whole thing. Sometimes I think you're a bit too sensitive for your clients which can, ironically enough, come out as being insensitive. Having the looks and style you have is great, but carry it over a bit more when necessary.

I am entrepreneur and am involved in several of my own businesses with one of them often including real estate. As I watch the show, I am impressed with your candor as well as your ability to maintain a certain level of respect for your clients and especially among your cast members. I doubt the show would have been picked up if they did not intend on having some drama, but you seem to be able to navigate it more effectively than the others.

As for your polyamorous...ness, I am in total agreement as to having the ability to relate and also engage in affection for both genders. I would subscribe to a monogamous version at any given time provided I am in a relationship, but certainly am open to it being able to shift from one to the other at appropriate times if the other relationship ends. I always called it "universal love" and believe that people are essentially looking for love in the end and if we are open, this view is very liberating and allows for great acceptance of anybody's love. I grew up feeling that most people, if given a true open society, would embrace some level of feelings for their own gender as well as the opposite gender.

Your sexuality is not relevant to your ability to sell real estate but it is relevant to people who want to know you for who you truly are. I am certain that it adds intrigue to the show, but it also validates the feelings that many of us have had our entire lives. You put a human face on sexuality that is more liberated or even a more vibrant color. You showcase the uninhibited potential for love and not just a love that must always fall into the landscape of an often black or white society. This can only be a good thing to humanity as a whole, but you just happen to be the one with the platform to enlighten the masses.

What do you think?

Madison! All 3 of you guys are fascinating to watch. All of you are good thinkers, each in your own particular way, and it's interesting to see how the dynamics all play out with each deal. You shed so much light on how intense your work is (even in a good market) and you, Madison, remain professional, elegant and classy in spite of it all. All of you guys have a certain cachet that is very attractive and I just love watching this show!

A couple questions: Would you please come down to Newport and teach the guys I work for how to dress?! Second, what's the deal with your two BMW 7 Series? One white AND one black? Lucky you!

Million Dollar Listing adds the class to Bravo TV that it so very much needs - especially after Bravo aired its interminable (and intolerable) Atlanta Housewives (would someone PLEASE cancel that show?!)

Anyway - continued great success to you, Madison!

: 10/24/2009 - 3:04pm; dee1212; You are my favorite. Not only my favorite, but you are so cute compared to the other two. I'm a mother of a 26 yr old cute daughter. Wish you two could meet.

: 10/24/2009 - 2:31pm; Viewer29; Hmmm...If you have ever watched the show...this shouldn't be any big surprise...but, good for you to share who you are with the rest of America.
