Selling L.A.: Time Constraints

Agent Barbara Koutnik has her hands full with actor Dennis Franz's Santa Barbara investment property. A 2012 Design Home, the pocket listing will play host to dozens of events over the next several months, preventing Barbara from fully putting it on the market. If Barbara can spin her client's scheduled events and photo shoots as marketing, she hopes to get an interested buyer on the hook to close before the end of the year. Meanwhile, agent Merrie Kung has been given 30 days to find her new client a new stateside nest for his wife and baby-to-be. But as a jet setting foreign record producer, he's rarely around to look.
