Yikes. Wow. Call me… well, call me whatever, but I never saw that coming! Wow.
There’s hope for those of us who’ve been missing Richard, Ginger and Team Trademark! According to a real estate web site in Charleston, The Real Estate Pros is coming back next month:
Richard C. Davis, who heads Team Trademark, intends to document the lodge’s rehabilitation as part of the real estate company’s reality series, due to air on TLC in April. The show had an 18 month hiatus.
Thanks to att.ention.net reader “RORY”, we have the official word (though I’ve yet to find it myself on the Charleston County site, but it looks official and the news is no surprise) that Richard C. Davis and Kim Davis are divorced:

They used to be there! Really! In fact, another site has a screen-shot of Ginger Alexander’s old MySpace page, but it’s gone now, and so is the one for Richard C. Davis. What’s up with that? Are there any more Trademark Properties MySpace pages out there, or did the whole group disappear from the MySpace world?
If you have an answer (or an idea), comment here and share it.
I’m not sure why the Trademark Properties gang has banned embedding of such a neat video, but that shouldn’t stop you from clicking the link and watching it.
In a nutshell, this is a Richard Davis promotion encouraging folks around the country to create local Trademark Properties affiliates. An interesting concept!
It’s pure Richard. But if you want “pure Ginger”, fast-forward to about 3:20 in the video (toward the very, very end) and you’ll get a candid shot of her being very… Ginger-like.
To view, just click the background of the video (not the play button). If you do click the play button, you’ll get a message about embedding (unless Team Trademark changes its mind; we can hope!), but click it again and it will open right up for you in a YouTube window.
The hot topic of late (well, actually, for a long time) is whether Richard Davis (of Trademark Properties and The Real Estate Pros on TLC) is still married, and one of the pieces of evidence that he’s not is the fact that his MySpace page lists him as “single”.
However… I just helped a friend set up a MySpace page, and the default status comes up as “single”. So, I thought, maybe Richard just never “flipped the switch” on the Single/Married setting over to Married?
But… his profile also says “Proud Parent”, and that little radio button is on the very same screen as marital status, so we’re back to thinking that the fact his MySpace page says “single” really can’t be an oversight.
Richard: Just come out and tell us where you and Kim stand, okay? If you are divorced, our condolences; after 18+ years, that’s gotta be hard. Hang in there.
At some point you start to second-guess yourself, you know? You wonder, “Gee, maybe Richard was joking in that article when he said he was married to a doctor.” He’s got three sons, for sure, so chances are he really was/is/whatever married at some point, at least… but maybe he made up the doctor thing?
No, he wasn’t joking. According to his bio, he was born in Washington, D.C. A quick search of Charleson, South Carolina public records (free and available to the public) quickly turns up the following…
File No: 372476 License Number: 1988001103
Groom Information
Name: DAVIS , RICHARD CHARLES Age: 24
Birthplace: WASHINGTON,D.C. Race: WHITE Res: 893 QUAIL DRIVE
Town: CHARLESTON County: CHARLESTON State: SC Marriage No: 1
Bride Information
Name: SMITH , KIMBERLY ANN Age: 22
Birthplace: SOUTH CAROLINA Race: WHITE Res: 874 PICCADILLY CIRCLE
Town: CHARLESTON County: CHARLESTON State: SC Marriage No: 1
So, there you have it. Remember that the article mentioned elsewhere on this site was from March, 2006… so if he got divorced, it was a really recent thing.
I suppose someone could e-mail Richard and say, “Hey, what’s the deal?”… but that seems kinda tacky. But maybe it’s equally tacky to discuss someone’s possible divorce on a web site? I don’t know… but I sure know it’s a popular topic, and you’ve got to admit that it puts a different spin on his relationship with Ginger. (After all, if Richard Davis is divorced, you can’t accuse him of having an “affair”, can you?)
Richard (and Kim), we know you’re out there reading these kinds of things; feel free to comment. We’d love to have the real story.
Thanks to the tip from dedicated att.ention.net readers Sarah and “big fan of the show”, we can see that Richard Davis has a MySpace profile and it lists his status as “single”.
Now, of course, that doesn’t mean he necessarily is single. Maybe he has an arrangement with his wife where he pretends to be single as part of his public persona to protect her from rabid fans and encourage speculation that he’s involved with Ginger and thus boost ratings for his show. Could happen. But that takes us out of the Trademark world of “teal helicopter” and into conspiracy theory “black helicopter” thinking, doesn’t it?
Looks like he’s single… and since he was married at one time, then it looks like he’s divorced. There’s your answer.
People are looking for information on “Richard Davis wife” or “Richard Davis married”… and, I’ll admit, it’s a bit of a mystery! (They’ve obviously been watching The Real Estate Pros and wondering about his relationship with Ginger.) Any comments?
I’m fairly sure that Richard is/was married to Kimberly Smith Davis, based on publicly-available information.
Out there in the world of the Internet, you sometimes see people posting, “Richard and Ginger don’t have anything going; he’s married to a doctor.”
Where do they get that?
Maybe from this post at Realtor.org, quoting the Daily Real Estate News, with a source of Bankrate.com. Wherever it actually came from, it’s about a year old so I suppose things could have changed, but I highly doubt that.
“Right now, you have people jumping in on frenzy and it will bankrupt a lot of Joes and Susies who have no business doing this,” [Davis] says. “I mean, my wife is a doctor; you don’t see me going out doing heart surgery.”
Interestingly — no conspiracy theory here (yet), just interesting — the post over at The Real Estate Pros discussion forum at TLC where this quote was mentioned had the quote itself removed by the moderator mod_ivy. Don’t know why; there’s no law against quoting things. Thoughts?
