Some Agents Make a Bigger Impression Than Others

At least that’s what one real estate couple, Melinda and Scott Tamkins believe.

A Las Vegas real estate agent named Melinda mysteriously dies. Mortgage broker husband,  Scott, is the key suspect in the case. Oh, and did I forget to mention that shady husband Scott is also a heavy drinker and an aficionado of porn and S & M? 

Does this sound like something you’d see on TV or what? It should, because it is. In fact, this storyline played out on a recent episode of CSI, and Southern California real estate agents Melissa and Scott Tamkin believe that these characters so closely resemble them, that this episode has hurt their business (even more than the downard spiraling economy has). In fact, they are suing CSI writer/producer Sarah Goldfingerfor $6 million in damages claiming defamation of character and invasion of privacy. The CSI characters reportedly bear a resemblance to the real-life couple, and the characters’ original last name was Tamkin, until the scrip was later revised.  

Could these claims be true? Here are the known clues: In 2005, writer Goldfinger entered into a real estate transaction to purchase a home listed by the Tamkins. The purchase was never completed, as Goldfinger pulled out of escrow, reportedly on amicable terms. You decide. Whatever the facts of this case ultimately are, it’s clear that the Tamkins believe that their impression on former client Goldfinger was big enough to manifest itself nearly five years later. 

It seems ludicrous to me that prior to the lawsuit, the vast majority of people never would’ve related this one CSI episode to this couple, but now, even I (a person who’d never heard of the Tamkins before) make the association. Could a brief transaction really have such an impact this far down the road? I think back to all the real estate agents I have know, and yes, indeed, there are a few that stand out. There are a few that stand out as heroic in my mind (and remain good friends to the day), and yes, there are a few that are worthy of their own Dateline story. Either way, it goes to show that transactions that involve hearts, minds, and homes can stay with you long after the paperwork is filed.
