Stinking Fish Realty is a realty agency. Its advertising slogan is "With a name this bad, we've got to be good!"
History
When Marge and Homer were first married, they lived in an apartment with baby (later, toddler) Bart. After Marge became pregnant with Lisa, they looked for a larger home for their growing family, and Stinking Fish Reality was the agency they worked with. Homer and Marge visited and rejected several houses, including:
- A house that had recently been the scene of a murder. There was still a body-shaped chalk outline on the floor.
- A house that was next to a hog rendering plant, even though Homer liked the smell ("Mmm... hog fat").
- The Sea Captain's houseboat (the Captain interrupted his sales pitch to fight a great white shark).
- A house that was full of cats. The cats' deceased owner had willed the house to the cats; the realty agent told Marge and Homer that they would actually be the cats' tenants. (Years later, when the kids heard the story, Lisa said she wished they lived in the "kitty house", and Bart said he could have trained the cats to be his "unholy army of the night".)
Finally, the realty agent showed 742 Evergreen Terrace to Marge and Homer. They liked the house, purchased it (thanks to Grampa's contributing the proceeds from the sale of his old home), and moved in, thus making 742 Evergreen Terrace the Simpson family home.
