Randy.... I do hope that you made all of these up, right?  lol   I am trying to remember a few that I have seen that are real.  Here is one that is real and in my area. It's a great mortgage company.  And I will just leave it at that...for that one at least.

too funny,

True story, there was a real estate team, who used to drive a hearse in Mesa, and had all kinds of wacky sayings on it like.  "We are dying to earn your business"

Some companies may not advertise by those names or words but their actions certainly make them look like something that resembles those!

Neal - I was thinking that may be a good one.  Many do not even show up.

Jeff D. - No Problemo

Jeff B. - We had a guy was all but stalking a couple of our female agents.  His card read World's Great Mortgage Co.

Skye - They definitely describe more companies than I want to think about.

Kathy - Thank you.  Jays are all real which makes them even funnier.

Thesa - I changed the names to protect the not so innocent.  But each one of these reminded me of an actual experience.

Gary - I bet people remember them.  The question is, were the clients dying to use them or did their business die?

David - I could replace the name or slogan for an actual company or agent for every one of these.

Don - That list could go on forever.  If we added lawyers and politicians, there would be no end.

After an executive briefing my brokerage held this morning on the mortgage mess, you might want to add "100% financing" to the endangered list.
