The Star of a Real Estate Reality Show Takes a Housing Hit
To the 1 million viewers of Bravo's reality show Flipping Out, Jeff Lewis is the acerbic, demanding, and sometimes petulant face of real estate speculation. In the program's first two seasons (already in reruns), Lewis turned a hefty profit buying and updating homes to sell in Los Angeles' toniest neighborhoods. At the start of the year he sold a 1,900-square-foot house to Lost star Dominic Monaghan for $1.6 million.

But as the cameras stopped shooting seven months ago, the housing market went from slowed to stalled, leaving the 38-year-old speculator, as he says, "paralyzed."

My heart f-ing breaks.

    It's about time! That guy is very annoying and I couldn't watch the show for more than a few minutes. Maybe if he treated people a bit better, oh wait, he IS in LA . . . :wink:
