Kim,
It’s not really a joke, it’s sarcasm because there are so many bullies in out market – don’t know if you missed the link from the first paragraph – miamism.com/is-your-realtor-a-bully/

We are surrounded and there is a way to put a stop to them….but it’s not easy if you work with these on a daily basis and if they are highly regarded by the community.

Although this is meant to be a joke, I actually experience some of these “attributes in a Realtor” today from a local Realtor. I didn’t allow it and subsequently, he is so busted with his client, as we called his lies! Alas, the good gal wins! YES!!

One would think that this was an actual marketing tool used in the 50′s. Back in the days when Marlborough’s made the man and home made pies made the woman. haha! Love It! Keep em coming!

Interesting blog on AgentGenius about how to be an Agent “Bully”. Do you think being a “bully” helps? http://bit.ly/28OzQy

Doug – and past performance does not guarantee ethical behavior either

Paula – don’t get me wrong, I can be plenty obnoxious…..some of these bullies get the best of me (and I knew you would absolutely recognize the spoof)

Ines – What a great list – I knew before I got here this was a spoof, but you hit the nail on the head and it may not be a spoof after all. We all recognize those who took “Super Agent” training. Think Obnoxious

Sorry, but agent faces kept popping in my head as I read each one… funny but often true. Really, people who made my head spin.

And yes, I am in the ReMAX Hall of Fame thank you very much… next!

You have no idea how happy it makes me that a lot of you have fallen for the post and then figured out my twisted sense of humor.

Suzanne – agreed
Mack – big smile over here (but looks can be deceiving – LOL)
Joe – when I started the list, I thought I would have problems coming up with 5, and by the time I got to 10 realized that the list could be soooo much longer – the “I don’t answer the phone and have billboards with me with a phone on my ear” is most cynical part of it all. Again…..we need a place to share our stories and be able to laugh about them later.

Great list Ines – like Missy – I’m pushing this one to Team Meeting!

I believe you may have spent some time in our dear city to put this list together – that and the nearby Aiken area MLS with their hoighty toighty horse-ranch nincompoops.

I would add a #11 –

Never under any circumstances answer your phone – this makes you seem too eager and under-nourished. Always make everyone leave you a message and have someone else make your voicemail prompt – preferrably someone of your opposite gender – “You’ve reached the HUGE office of Super-Agent Lotta Listings. We’re obviously swamped because we don’t suck like you, so leave a message, we may or may not call you back at our leisure.”

If the message is to schedule an appointment – return the call precisely five minutes before the scheduled window.

When I started reading this I began to wonder how many Mojito’s were consumed just before the fingers hit the keyboard. I knew the author of this article could not be that wonderful individual that I meet in Atlanta this past spring. Oh well, thanks for reminding me to lighten up!

Geez Ines…you got me! I was thinking “What has the world come to….a post like this!”
I know the types…it works for them. And yes we do have to work with them.
They feel superior but they are really small in many ways………;-K

I didnt catch the sarcasm quick enough. I was halfway through the list before I realized that this person was being funny, not completely crazy.
