Where are my rent-a-kids?

Here they are now.

One is 15, but he'll pass for 12.

Wholesome.

The freckles are a nice touch.

Thank you.

Maybe lose the caps.

All right.

I want to see big smiles.

Remember...

You love your neighborhood, you love your house.

Any questions?

Why are we doing this?

We need to make this look like a family house.

You're like props.

All right, now go look like you're having fun,

and remember, stay away from the cliff.

Come on...

Off we go.

Do you realize that you're two sales away

from being realtor of the year?

Let's make it one.

Okay.

Oh, the brown showing is across town,

do you want me to handle it?

Nope, push it by an hour.

I'll be there.

All right.

What are you doing here?

My client is on her way.

You called for a handyman.

And you're not finished yet? I called you last night.

I know. You woke me up.

Oh, you go to sleep at 9:00?

It was midnight.

Oh.

I'll be done here in five minutes.

If they get here before then,

you can tell them I come with the house.

I'm not sure that's a selling point.

Well, who would know better than Julie sterling, right?

Have we met?

No.

I sat on a bus bench with a picture of you on it.

And by the way,

I got a splinter.

Out of curiosity,

what happened to the guy who started this job?

He quit.

Huh.

I can't imagine why.

I heard that.

Erica...

Hey.

Oh, you look so beautiful.

Oh, thanks.

I'm so glad you could make it.

I wanted you to see this one asap.

It is not going to last.

Oh, hasn't it been on the market

for over a year?

It was, with another agent,

but the seller is very motivated.

Translation, subtract 15% from the price.

And the neighborhood could not be hotter.

Uh, I don't know.

It seemed a little hilly for a stroller.

Have you seen

those new electric strollers from england?

I gave one as a closing gift to a client,

a new mother like you.

She uses it more than her car.

Now, look, I know at first glance,

this house may not look like your typical family home,

but just try telling that to those boys down there.

Oh...

Uh, the house sits on a gentle slope.

Go get it!

Oh, would you excuse me for one moment?

Get away from the edge!

Move back!

But it's right there!

Just stay right there.

Step away!

And it's so funny, 'cause you know,

kids aren't kids for long,

and before you know it,

you're sitting, enjoying the view

with your significant other,

sipping on your Pinot grigio.

Hmm. Well, it is beautiful, but I...

Here, let me show you the master.

Let me show you the kitchen.

It's all state of the art.

I know you love to cook.

Did you get an offer on the cliff house?

I'm a step away.

Great.

Because we're a step away from closing that merger

with world realty.

You know what this means...

Our little company is going big-time,

not to mention our bonuses,

and a listing network

that stretches halfway across the state.

Ka-ching.

Yeah.

How can I help?

Well, as you know,

world realty relies heavily on community relations.

Before they hand this over,

they want to make sure

that footprint in the community is big enough,

and I told them it is.

I am all over it.

What can I do?

A fundraiser? Free seminar? 10k?

Ooh, silent auction?

Actually, it's come to my attention

that a local organization needs our support.

Were you ever a girl scout?

No.

This is

the 100th year anniversary of the girl scouts.

Oh. Isn't that nice.

It is,

for everybody but troop #114

because they don't have a leader.

So I offered you.

Wait... what?

They're called "the fireflies,"

they meet on Tuesday nights at the community center.

Hello?

I don't have time for this.

I have stagings, I have open houses,

I'm hand-holding clients 24-7.

And not to mention,

I have caravan on Tuesdays.

Work around it.

Now, I have committed you for 90 days.

That should get you through the cookie sale,

and then they can get a permanent replacement.

Just give it to someone else.

What about Brad? Or Ted?

They're men.

She already got me.

I'm coaching the little league team.

Ted's on the middle school carnival.

Lola, I can't do this.

I'm not comfortable with children.

They're messy, and they're distracting...

You want your bonus?

Of course.

Want to make partner some day?

Equity partner?

Well, I'll tell you why it says "must see inside"

because the outside is hideous.

Let me translate.

"Mature landscaping" means "bring your own chainsaw."

I am talking "Blair witch project"

meets "hoarders."

Well, you know what? I'm here.

Let's talk about it later.

Okay.

What is it?

Well, just tell him the couches need to go.

Because they're pleather.

Okay... three.

Hi.

I'm Julie.

Hi, Julie.

Hazel hill burn.

Haven't I seen your face before?

Oh, yes.

Julie sterling, pacific realty.

Are you here to sell my girls a condo?

No.

Oh, but I do have a nice split-level by the park.

Is there something I can do for you?

We're busy here, hmm?

Uh, yes.

I'm the new den mother.

You mean "troop leader," dear.

And not of these girls.

These are the monarchs.

Regional award winners 11 straight years?

I have led their older sisters,

and I will lead their younger ones.

I believe you're looking for the fireflies.

They're down the hall.

Oh.

In the storage room.

Recycle.

Fireflies, I presume?

Julie sterling, pacific realty.

We're going to be spending some time together.
