Jason Oppenheimpresident and founder of the famous Oppenheim Group, now represents Kanye West in the sale of his beachfront Malibu estate, and there has been some criticism that Oppenheim should not represent an anti-Semite, but we have contacted a number of leading real estate agents who think it is absurd to have a litmus test based on which customers they will represent.
The LA real estate agents we spoke with say that in this divisive social and political climate, there is no way anyone can do business by excluding clients whose views they find offensive. The example that comes up repeatedly is the war in the Middle East. As one high-end real estate agent put it, “What should we do, ask a potential client whether he sides with Israel or Palestine?”
A highly successful LA real estate agent begged to differ, saying, “Wait a minute. Kanye is one of the biggest anti-Semites in the world. I would never represent him.”
But another broker said, “Should we look at whether a client is a registered Republican and say, fuck you, I don’t represent you?”
It goes beyond religion and politics… one real estate agent said, “What if a client has an offensive post on Instagram? Or what if a client is in the middle of a nasty divorce and I side with their partner?”
Several agents said it’s ridiculous to think they would Google every potential client looking for a reason not to represent that person.
And one real estate agent, who was once a practicing lawyer, said it is absurd to think a lawyer would assess a client before taking a case, adding: “It’s just not reality.”
And one real estate agent we spoke to said, what if a client had a different view on gay marriage? He said, “At some point it just becomes impossible to do business.”

That same real estate agent asked, “What about the buyer who pays Kanye $53 million for the Malibu estate?” before adding, “What if Kanye goes to a Mercedes dealer. Shouldn’t they sell him a car?”
We attempted to contact Jason Oppenheim but received no response.
