Jason Oppenheim Backed By Realtors Who Say it’s OK to Represent Antisemitic Kanye

Jason Oppenheim, president and founding father of the famed Oppenheim Group, is now representing Kanye West within the sale of his Malibu beachfront property, and there is been some criticism Oppenheim shouldn’t characterize an antisemite, however we have contacted some high-end realtors who really feel it is absurd to have a litmus check on which purchasers they are going to characterize.

The L.A. realtors we have spoken with say there is no such thing as a means on this divided social and political local weather anybody can do enterprise by excluding purchasers whose views they discover offensive. The instance that repeatedly comes up is the war in the Middle East. As one high-end realtor put it, “What are we imagined to do, ask a possible consumer in the event that they facet with Israel or Palestine?”

A particularly profitable L.A. realtor begged to vary, saying, “Wait a minute. Kanye is without doubt one of the largest antisemites on the planet. I’d by no means characterize him, ever.”

However one other realtor mentioned, “Are we imagined to see if a consumer is a registered Republican and say screw you, I am not representing you?”

It goes past faith and politics … one realtor mentioned, “What if a consumer has an offensive publish on Instagram? Or what if a consumer’s in the midst of nasty divorce and I facet with their partner?”

A number of realtors mentioned it is ridiculous to assume they’d Google each potential consumer to search for a cause to not characterize that individual.

And one realtor, who was at one time a practising lawyer, mentioned it is absurd to assume an legal professional would decide a consumer earlier than taking a case, including, “It is simply not actuality.”

And a realtor we spoke with mentioned what if a consumer had a special view on homosexual marriage? He mentioned, “Sooner or later it simply turns into unimaginable to do enterprise.”

That very same realtor requested, “What concerning the purchaser who pays Kanye $53 million for the Malibu property?” earlier than including, “What if Kanye goes to a Mercedes dealership. Ought to they not promote him a automotive?”
