Going private



Realogy Corp.’s brief run as a publicly traded company looks likely to end soon. The company, which was spun off by Cendant earlier this year, says it’ll be sold to Apollo Management, marking yet another high-stakes private equity deal.

Realogy is the largest real estate broker in the nation, state and county. It owns Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate, Palm Beach County’s biggest broker, and Corcoran Group, which has five offices in Palm Beach County. Realogy also franchises the Century 21, ERA, Coldwell Banker and Sotheby’s International Realty names.

Bubble babble for the holidays



At the risk of adding to the crass commercialization of Christmas, here’s a shopping idea that’ll satisfy both the real estate bulls and bears on your list.

For the bulls, there’s a collection of T-shirts from Renaissance Creative of Jacksonville. The slogan on my favorite reads, “Media Hype Runs Amok!”

And for the bears, there’s t-shirthumor.com’s Mr. Hou$ing Bubble, whose motto is, “If I Pop, You’re Screwed!”
