Are You SURE You Want Your Name on Everything?

Kathy,

It does not matter what the profession is, courtesy and thoughtfulness should be a given...I often have this thought; "What would we talk about if everyone behaved the way we think they should?"  LOL. Happy Tuesday!  A

Hi Kathy:

You have to wonder whether the behavior extends to their driving as well?!

Jeff

I see that behavior too often in my area, Kathy. The agent you mention probably has no clue of what she's doing, and the negative impact she is making on others.

Hi Kathy Streib - I absolutely will not put my name or business information on my car.  I personally don't think it is professional. Depending on how it is displayed, it can oftentimes be rather tacky as well. 

And your example makes my case!

I have my madnet signs on my car if I am driving ti to a listing or showing homes because I know I drive responsible then.  Other times I take them OFF!@

Oh I so get this one.  For years there was an annoying agent that hiked up the hill saying she was the local neighborhood expert and passing out flyers.  Good grief.  The kicker was she lived no where even close to my area. Yack! Yack! Yack.  Most hikers enjoy the peace and quiet of the preserve not yacking sales people!

You make an excellent point, Kathy.  When I ride my bike, I sometimes come upon small groups of walkers, who are almost shoulder to shoulder talking while blocking the bike path.  Add to it, they are on the wrong side of the street walking the opposite direction they should be in that lane!

Kathy it is obvious this Agent feels they are very special 

I have never quite been able to understand why people act like idiots and label everything they own with their phone number...

Happy Tuesday Kathy Streib 

Morning Kathy.

Unless you know me, you would never guess I'm an agent.  Hardly ever wear a name tag.  

I messed up, nothing major, but didn't stop when I should have once while driving with my signs on my car. Never used the signs again after that. I just didn't feel comfortable with my name and contact info on my vehicle. I wasn't meant to be a public figure. LOL

Great points you make here. I’ve been thinking about farming my neighborhood now that I have a new dog and I walk him a lot and am meeting the neighbors I’ve been holding back though until he is calmer and not trying to eat bikers and joggers and small children. Same idea. I don’t want to market myself and be known as That Realtor!

You just reminded me of a time I was driving up the highway (2 lane) at the posted speed when a car came flying around me, just as I was going into a blind corner. The back window of that car had the agent's name and phone number.

I wondered at the time if he was driving (Perhaps he was late to an appointment up at the lake?) or if he'd lent his car to one of his kids. Either way - dangerous driving and bad advertising.
