Is this the Dumbest Realtor in the world?

Question

The Bar to become a Realtor in the USA is way too low. Because of this you get a lot of ridiculously dumb people in the industry. This is of course directly why there is an annual turnover rate of close to 90% in the real estate industry. This agent though, this lady takes the cake. I challenge you to present me with a story of a Realtor who is worse than this one lol.

HoltonWise managed an apartment building for an investor from 2016-2018. During this time, there was a sign hung up on the property saying something to the effect of "This property managed by HoltonWise."

In late 2018 this property owner's management agreement with us ended and he began working with a competitor.

I got a letter from the Division of Real Estate yesterday. Instead of taking down that sign the Realtor who was hired to takeover the property management of the building left it up for over 3 years. She has now filed a complaint with the Division of Real Estate alleging false advertising because she is now the manager of the building, not HoltonWise.

🤣 Can't make this stuff up dude. Bless her heart.

Hey James actually the lady was very smart. Your good friend Joe above was very smart as well for pointing out what appears to be the real underlying factor. The lady wishes you dirt and this is one of her ways of putting some dirt on top of your head. The issue is rarely the issue. We are seeing this all the time in our world. People are looking for reasons to cause drama and if they can’t find it they create it. How can you make peace with people that are Faking offense?

Really, she should be suing herself, because she is the manager.

Of course, your firm could counter-sue for trademark infringement because she was operating the property under your business name.

Can’t fix stupid! But they might come back at you for that new equality law……. I guess that makes us all stupid? Not sure or that might call you a racist towards stupid people:)

Lol....Great idea.

@James Wise This is not about taking the sign down. The only reason she would file a complaint is to aggravate your business. It is harder to file a complaint, then it would be to call you and ask you to remove the sign.

Maybe she has memory loss? lol

Lynnette E. · Answer

Just tell them that her management of the building is ruining your reputation and you demand that she remove your sign and admit that she is responsible for the current management of the building. Require that she inform each tenant that she is responsible for the building management and offer the tenants the opportunity to break their leases if unhappy with that bait and switch situation.

You can have just as much fun!

Scary times my man. We're living in scary times.

LOL. The bar for just about everything is too low these days. I teach university classes and you should see some of the people that manage to get accepted - it doesn't give you a lot of hope for the future.
