Honestly, I expected more...


Campins Real Estate, specializing in the sale of "Luxury Sports and Entertainment Homes", has put an article on their blog stating that Robert Pattinson is selling his Los Feliz, California home.  I'm sure a post like this has resulted in more than a few hits for the blog, which in my best guess, is their intention all along.  However, I think it's sad when some feel that they have to stoop to this level for attention.

Let me dissect this. 

This is their heading:

Celebrity Real Estate: Robert Pattinson Los Feliz CA Home For Sale $6.3 Million

Now, if I didn't know better, I would think by reading this that they know for sure that the house is on the market.  It states that the house is "for sale" and lists a price. The price happens to be the last price it was sold at, but I digress.  Since this is coming from a real estate blog, I would also think that they had the listing on this home. 

This is the house in question.




 Now for the body of the post:
Twilight star Robert Pattinson posh Los Feliz, CA home for sale. He once shared this home with Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart. Pattinson bought the home for $6.3 million, previously owned by ER star Noah Wyle and sits on an acre and a half of land and has 150-person screening room and amazing gardens. The house comes with three big bedrooms and bathrooms, state-of-the-art security system, private amphi-theatre and extensive wine cellar.
Built in 1921, the 4,000 square-foot home is a lavish area in the Hills with neighbors like Gwen Stefani and Black Eye Peas Will.I.Am.

Not a whole lot to it really, but you know who's home it is, or possibly is, who they shared it with and other celebrity names of previous owner and neighbors.  The celebrity details in this post have been recycled for a month in regards to this house.  The post is effective as people, though not involved in real estate, have made comments.

If it was a legitimate real estate post for her site, as per the other luxury homes she has listed to sell, there would have been a dozen or so pictures showcasing the home to attract a potential buyer. Perhaps even a little blurb about the "luxury gourmet kitchen", "spacious master suite with glamorous en suite", "sprawling gardens that lead to a lagoon style pool".  Since Campins does not have the listing for the home, there is none of that information.


Now, since Campins does not have the listing, who does?  As one person commented, this house is not on the market.  And he would be correct.  How did he know?  His information is coming from a real estate website that specifically says, "Off Market" at the top of the page.



This entry is from the company's real estate blog where she discusses trends in the market as well as celebrity real estate transactions.  That's all well and good, however it seems like she is tying to capitalize on a celebrity cheating scandal between a young actress and a married director.  I find that kind of sad considering with her background, website Facebook page, etc., that she feels the need to go this direction in getting her name out there when she seems to be doing a fine job of it using social media. Hell, even this blog post is turning into a selling feature for her. 

That is if anyone actually reads it.
