Just signed a residential contract with a NBA player. Wanted to know if anyone else has any celebrities as customers, and any good points or bad about having them.

I have a couple of celebrities that own vacation or second homes. They have been very plesant to deal with, they want a good service and do not quibble over price.
One well know Hollywood celebrity and the owner of a Fortune 500 company.
We do not reveal identities of them in any way.

I wonder if Travis Tritt still uses eXmarks to maintain his property? He was on the cover for them a short time ago.

most famous people who i worked for ever were- a united states congresswoman. she is a pain to deal with.
and this other guy who used to be the president of national semiconductors. he was also a big wig with the government, his wife was a german baroness. they are great people. the congresswoman i could take her or leave her. just keep the money :)

I cut one of the lawyers homes who has one of those cheesy commercials. Didn't even realize who he was until I got a piece of mail with his letterhead. They use actors on the commercials.

John Q. Public reads post at LawnSite.com about Scruffy Lawn Cutters doing Famous Bob's lawn.
John Q. tells wife what he saw.
Wife tells mother.
Mother tells neighbor.
Neighbor goes to work next day and tells her boss, Famous Bob, that Scruffy is posting about him on the Internet.
Famous Bob cans Scruffy and, to preserve his privacy, hires someone on own staff to maintain grounds.
Hmmmmmmm............, maybe this kind of discussion is out of place in a professional medium.
