Jason Oppenheim Backed By Realtors Who Say it is OK to Signify 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 mustn’t symbolize an antisemite, however we have contacted some high-end realtors who really feel it is absurd to have a litmus take a look at on which purchasers they may symbolize.

The L.A. realtors we have spoken with say there isn’t 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 struggle within the Center East. As one high-end realtor put it, “What are we speculated to do, ask a possible consumer in the event that they aspect with Israel or Palestine?”

An especially profitable L.A. realtor begged to vary, saying, “Wait a minute. Kanye is without doubt one of the greatest antisemites on this planet. I might by no means symbolize him, ever.”

However one other realtor mentioned, “Are we speculated 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 course of nasty divorce and I aspect with their partner?”

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

And one realtor, who was at one time a training 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, “In some unspecified time in the future it simply turns into unattainable to do enterprise.”

That very same realtor requested, “What in regards to 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?”
