Every day I think that the level of stupidity, pettiness, cockiness, tackiness and shamelessness could not be exceeded...a new high is reached.

I would think the agent and their managing broker would be getting an email that would document this unethical behavior. I would be sure to cite from COE, and send the link to it, as well as attach a pic of the materials in house (to avoid disputation). I would also take note of it so that if this agent phones for showing of any of my future listings, I would be sure I meet them at property.

Regardless of whether you tour your listings or not, that certainly sounds like an ethical violation and in many MLS systems an MLS violation as well. In our local MLS we have had several Pro Standards cases heard where agents have represented a listing as being their own by promoting it in marketing materials without the listing agent/brokerage permission.

I'd think that agent is a desperate soul.... I'd remove it.... I'd most likely call that agent and tell them to come to my office and retrieve their marketing materials.... I have no use for them....

I woudn't think much of that agent- seems to be an ethics violation, but certainly unprofessional. They would be removed and I would probably call the other agent

That is beyond tacky and passes into the realm of unethical. That agent and broker would be hearing from me and, trust me, I'd be doing the talking and they'd be listening! Depending on their response, the MLS and/or State Dept of Licensing would also be hearing from me.
I've been told I could tell someone to go to Hell and they'd look forward to the trip. They'd be looking forward to that trip!

File a senseless complaint? NO!
Make a big deal out of it? NO!
I have bigger problems with dumb agents who lie and misrepresent...

If there is any 'sfuff' of interest, I would call to get more information.
It the stuff is lame and whimpy, I toss it in the trash.
Then I mail them my "stuff you can't live without' marketing material that every agent must have but only if I have time.
No, I won't got crying to Momma.

If I had a bird cage I would use it to line the bottom of it. Then I would call the agent's broker to alert her/him to a possible ethics violation.

I would pack it up and send to their broker on the off chance the broker would not want an agent doing this kind of thing.

I would remove the promotional material and mail it back to the agent with a very stern warning from the NAR Code of Ethics (if they are members).
Then I would just forget about it and make sure not to spread ill-will about them. Nothing good comes from more gossip.
Happy Friday.

That happened to me at listing in Haymarket. The agent left several of her business cards and fliers that said " If you like this property, you should visit my listing nearby at 123 Main St." No refrigerator magnet though. I just removed them.
809,258
I would think "Yikes. Desperate...." Won't all the clients coming to look be coming through with their agents anyway? So what is the point? -Kasey

Wow, That goes again ethics I would think. I had a agent replace my flyers one time out in the box with his.

Take photos and send them to their broker with a long letter about how un-professional that is and CC them on it. Include a copy of the complaint filed with the board and the state association.

Paul S. Henderson, CRS, REALTOR®, I believe it would prompt a call to the agent's broker.

I would have my broker contact their broker and I would probably contact the local board. This is an ethics violation.

I'd just throw the stuff out. As to the agent, I'd file them in the "naughty" section of my mind and if I saw them again, I'd probably mention it.
4,319,773
Paul S. Henderson, CRS, REALTOR®, - now that is unacceptable for sure! I'll simple throw it in the dustbin and will call the agent.

snicker. chuckle. toss them. and post a fake bad review on the other agent. JUST KIDDING :)

I would be taking photos and making some calls. I am sure some Codes have been violation and this agent needs to learn.
3,986,308
I would not think. I would be on teh phone to said agents Broker and it wold be done or I call the state.
1,712,776
I would be talking to my broker and having my broker call their broker about crossing a sign. If they did it to one they will do it to another.
4,901,858
After I put all the material in the garbage can I would place a call to that agents broker.
