the miami herald didn't particularly like my link to today's entertainment column (see below).
so here's the ad rem article verbatim. that sentence was like 50% latin.
miami is like 79% latin. no relation.
RICH -- AND FAMOUS?
Carlos Justo, a Miami real estate agent whose forte is luxury homes, will star in a reality show for The Learning Channel (TLC). Working title: Super Agents. A six-member production crew is following him around -- day and night.
For Justo, 49, the timing is perfect. He's about to split from Coldwell Banker -- and launch his own company. His partner: Irving A. Padron, 34, a former senior VP/chief financial officer of Terremark. They're opening an office in a 1920s neoclassic mansion at 1548 Brickell Ave. Word is they've snagged the Sotheby's real estate franchise for Miami-Dade.
TLC publicist Keesha Bullock says Justo is a TV natural -- a self-made millionaire at the top of his game in South Florida's hot market.
Says Justo: ``I went from high school to real estate. I have no formal education. I had to make it. I didn't have a choice.''
The camera crew captured him cruising about town in a stretch limo, showing properties to wealthy clients by helicopter and giving tours of homes ranging from $3 million to $35 million.
Other high-end agents interviewed include The Jills -- Jill Hertzberg and Jill Eber -- and Jeri Jenkins, all of Coldwell Banker.
TLC plans six episodes to air this summer.
