I thought everyone could use a good laugh so I thought I would poke fun of all the Realtors who love to say things like "I'm in the"top 1%",  or "top producer", or "million dollar producer." 

Top 1%?  The top 1% of what, the UUWSO....the unprofessional, unethical, whiney, show off group of Realtors?  The top 1% of Realtors with brown eyes who have the most clients named Kathy, the top 1% of Realtors who over price their listings, or how about the top 1% of Realtors who sold big white homes with red roofs on Friday afternoons?  There is a catagory for everyone.

I'd like to give honorable mention to all of the Realtors who are actually top producing Realtors but fail to mention that they have 30 other agents working under them.

The million dollar producer. This is not hard to accomplish people. Any Realtor who sells a million dollars worth of real estate can use this great title.

Then there are the Realtors who like to tell you what clubs they are in such as the presidents club, platum club, the 100% club, the I make more than you club, the I sell more properties than anyone in my office club. Where are these clubs? Do they meet every wednesday night and is there a secret knock?  I bet there is a Grand Poobah of the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes too?

How about the Realtors who list all of the designations they have such as the I know how to work with older people designation or the I know how to use a computer designation or how about one of my favortes the I just bought a home for $10k this morning and I am going to sell it to my poor unsuspecting buyer this afternoon for $100k who is already paying me a commission and a finder's fee designation (you know who you are) or the I know how to work with a buyer designation and the my broker also knows how to work with buyers designation and finally the I know how to sell a home designation. Isn't that our job?

Thank you.

Hi Renee: You are too funny - I just love this and it is so true. How about letting their contribution to their industry speak for itself. Hey what a concept!! It brings to mind the old saying that If You Have To Talk About It, You Do Not Have it! Thanks for the big smile this morning and have a great day.....

Renee - This is a good one : ) .  Thanks for the laugh to start off the day.  I think if there were less realtors worried about their "credentials" and more worried about getting the job done the real estate market would be better off right now !

I understand your frustration!! I also, get a kick out of the designations and clubs, however, what I was doing in mentioning the e-pro designation, is lettiing other Realtors know I do have some extra training and can be a good Referrel Realtor for them in my area.

Love your comments, and your sense of humor!

Hi Renee - This is too funny  lol.  I guess the top 1% of us need to use whatever marketing tags we can to impress members of the general public.  I am working my way up and want to be in that top 1% no matter what it is.

Well, you can be in the top 1% of new Realtors who want to be in the top 1%.  Just add it to your business card... and don't forget your website...     :  )  Have a great day!!

Although I have some of those designations, I realize that doing the job well is what keeps you in business.

And welcome to the world of spin!

Wow, love your spunk and witty style. Could not agree more, and too many clubs, and status symbols in life in general. Two decent sales, and you made the Million, so what!. Keep up the great post, and let me know, when your moving to K-town.

So true, we have some agents in Maryland that fit some of these descriptions, especially the ones who claim they are #1 and they have 30 agent working under them. What a joke, who wouldn't be number one if they can count the sales and listing of 30 other agents.
