Talk about making classifieds relevant, entertaining, and newsworthy! Look at what traffic hay both Realtor.com and Curbed.com must have made of the sale (er, the withdrawal of the sale) of New York Representative Anthony Weiner’s Brooklyn co-op.  Both of these real estate listing sites note that the revealing public images that may well be the representative’s career undoing were shot against backdrops that are visible in these property photos.  If you can’t make out the red title in the graphic to the right, Curbed.com called  it “Scandalous Real Estate.” We call that clever indeed.

It seems the listing was just taken off the market. We imagine curiosity-seekers visiting the property would have undoubtedly bogged down any legitimate sales process.

But more power to these two sites for picking up on this. It’s nice to see editorial and advertising working together so effectively.
