Ben Afleck is moving to Boston. How do I find the broker he's using or how do I get my $2,25,000 listing in his hands? Desparately needing info on this, the sellers asked me to do it...

If you research him on line, you could find out who his agent is and deliver a package to his agent (who could forward it on) - or the agent could let you know who the broker is.

You could also advertise in Variety. Perhaps showing your sellers the ad will satisfy them.
I can't imagine finding the name of his broker online. I've done a lot of internet searches and I've only seen that sort of thing shared for transactions that are reported months after the fact.

Tori is right on. His business manager is the best choice and easy to discover. Do up a superior brochure on the property and include a video tour on CD and send it FedEx with a professional introduction letter.

Make sure you have the property on MLS with lots of good photos & virtual tour.

If you do decide to send a package directly to his business manager, then make sure that you mention that you respect privacy and are willing to make special arrangements for him to view the property to avoid public intrusion. Also mention that you and your client have no problem signing a confidentiality agreement.

I've shown/sold to a celebrity before and they had their lawyer pose as the prospective purchaser initially. I was surprised when the "real" prospect arrived. I was a bit nervous and it's not why you think... the lawyer was making notes the whole time!

They will most likely want to any make offers through their lawyer, so be prepared for that.

Good luck!

"Desparately needing info on this, the sellers asked me to do it"...

It's a long shot at best! The question is,.... are you helping or hurting yourself by trying so desperately to make this hole-in-one shot? If they expect something magical to happen and you can't pull it off, will your sellers see you as a failure?
By all means send the info, but don't expect too much in the way of a reply, and don't get too wrapped up in the idea that Ben Affleck is going to buy this property.
Your client/seller might be star struck but you have to keep a level head and bring 'em back to reality.

Bit of a goofy longshot if you ask me. Your time and money are most certianly better spent in other ways marketing your listing. And I'm sure his agent will see the property on your local MLS assuming it fits Afleck's criteria.

I'm right here darling!!

Ohhh business agent ::thump on head::... Sorry, I thought you were suggesting doing an internet search for his real estate agent!

Actually, I probably should have been more specific. Being here in Nashville, the "business manager" is just called agent (it didn't dawn on me to say business manager. LOL) The only reason this popped into my head is that my phone number used to belong to a very famous country music singer. I'm constantly getting calls for him and I just refer them to his management company (who's number is now right by my phone *eye roll*) I figure they'll forward on anything that's important.

Well, I've searched the Boston papers, googled him and still am not able to come up with a name or address.

Register on www.imdb.com for an IMDbPro account. You can get a 14 day free trial. You can get the address there.

I spent 20 seconds on Google. Several hits indicate that Ben Affleck is represented by Endeavor Talent Agency. Call them to confirm and go from there.

There's lots of very well off people in Boston. Why not target them with primo marketing instead?

Play the odds.

Anyways, judging by Ben's stability in marriage, he'll probably change his mind at the last minute anyways!

Thank you for the name. And yes, I agree about his marriages but I need the experience in going about this. I alos don't know how to targt the "well off" people in Boston, other than post cards and pay for a list...right?
