I briefly mentioned Bob Shallow in my last post, but I feel that he deserves more analysis than I offered. Because he really is an inexplicable character.
First of all: his name. It cracks me up – “Bob” = Generic, + “Shallow” = super-cheesy-fitting-for-a-salesman.
THEN when you add his name to his unbelievably larger-than-life billboard photo that greets us every time we head to the beach which comes complete with his cheesy/sleazy grin, 80’s mustache, and Hawaiian shirt:
The “image” is just overwhelming.
But that’s not the inexplicable part. Not at all.
Despite this guy’s unfortunate name, despite his overly-1980’s-TV Soap Opera-persona,
He was, in 2005 AND 2006, THE Number One Re/Max Agent.
IN THE WORLD.
And no, he’s not a realtor in New York City or Los Angeles or Paris or Rome. He’s in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
And he beat them all.
Can you imagine how talented of a salesman and businessman he must be overcome his “peculiarities” and achieve the spot as the #1 Selling Re/Max Realtor in the world?!?!
Just something to think about.
He lets that mustache do all the talking. Who wouldn't buy a condo from that mustache, really?!
(That's bizarre.)
He must be one heck of a salesman!
That guy is so creepy, I would never buy anything from him.
Girl you crack me up.

I can totally picture him on a used car lot.
LOL! You are too funny. My father has a similar photo…from 1985
He still looks cheesy to me! :)
Just on a personal note, the guy is really a nice guy, just cheesy. You should meet his Mom if you think he's cheesy, she as nutty as they come. LYB
Wow, that IS impressive! He must be one heck of a salesman! :)
he's been down there for awile. my in-laws sold there condo down there 3 years ago so it's been 4 yrs since i've been. i always thought the same thing when i saw those signs. i would never use him as a realtor.
I don't think I could let him be my realtor without cracking up laughing every time I had to see him.
