The Grizzlies lose their MVP. Jerry West is leaving.
The Grizzlies are losing their one (and so far, only) legend. Jerry West is leaving the Grizzlies for a stress-free retirement in the traffic of Southern California.
Links and excerpts of three news stories and my memories of Jerry West after the jump.
Former NYPD cop teaching Realtors about agent attacks, self-defense.
I talked to Ed Burgos, a private investigator and self-defense instructor today. Ed is a former cop with the NYPD and is giving a talk to several hundred Realtors in San Antonio about self-defense and why it’s important to us as agents. We talked for about 20 minutes about the Sarah Anne Walker murder in McKinney, Texas and steps agents need to take to protect themselves.
Ed feels real strong about agents having a need for self-defense training. He bounced the idea of including the training in your yearly Realtor dues and requiring all agents to take the class.
Ed said he would get a copy of his presentation to me. I’ll post it as soon as it’s available.

Your weekly Parade magazine update. Tucker Beck makes good.
I promise I don’t read Parade magazine. I wouldn’t have known about this if another guy in my office hadn’t tipped me off.
Parade Magazine has their annual “What People Earn” issue this week. Every year they have 70 or 80 headshots of people from across the country with their name, job description, and what they made last year. The subjects run the gamut, from Steve Carell of “The Office” fame ($9 million) to Gary Fearn, a minister from Pueble, CO ($9,000).
While interesting, the reason I got a text message on a Sunday afternoon about this was the inclusion of one of our own in the magazine. Crye-Leike Commercials’ own Tucker Beck has a headshot in Parade Magazine. I’ve got a scan of the whole page after the jump. (This is probably the only place you’ll ever see Tucker and Maria Sharapova together).

Memphis and Shelby county pull in the $1 Million dollar homes.
Don’t let people tell you the residential market’s bad.
From the Commercial Appeal:
Although the median price of a house in Shelby County is a modest $127,000, the number of houses priced 10 times that amount has increased substantially during the past five years in the Memphis area.

8-Acre Beverly Hills property sells for $500 Million. $1,438.80 per SF!
Don’t let people tell you the commercial market’s bad.
From the L.A. Times:
British developers paid $500 million Tuesday for the once-grand Robinsons-May department store in one of the priciest property sales ever in Southern California.
Not only is the sale big, it is a huge jump in value from the $33.5 million that the seller, Beverly Hills-based New Pacific Realty, paid for the eight-acre site three years ago. New Pacific was planning to spend $500 million to redevelop the site.

Avril Lavigne buys $9.5 mil house. Mike Miller of our Grizzlies has an L.A. pad.
Punk chica Avril Lavigne bought a little love nest with her rocker husband in Bel-Air, down the road from Los Angeles.
From the L.A. Times:
Lavigne, 22, wanted to build a home but settled on buying one that was fairly new with substantial upgrades. The three-story house behind gates has eight bedrooms and 10 1/2 bathrooms in 12,000 square feet. The Tuscan-style residence, on an acre, also has an elevator, an office, a state-of-the-art kitchen, a steam shower, a sauna, a pool, a spa and garage space for 10 cars.
The same article had a blurb on the best player on your Memphis Grizzlies, Mike Miller.
