Real Estate “Teams”

Business

A reader suggested that I dedicate an entire blog post to the subject of real estate “teams,” so I’m happy to oblige!

Warning: the entire purpose of this post is to make fun of other people.  Let cynicism roll….for a change…

 

This is what real estate teams are all about!

Here’s a a photo of fourteen people, who you likely can’t tell apart, and who can always blame somebody else when something goes wrong.

“Did you speak to Jen, or Jess?  Because we have a Jane as well, so maybe she said she’d bring those feature sheets to the house.”

Who’s idea was it to take this photo from the church tower looking down through a sniper’s rifle?

If you ever wanted to buy real estate from the ladies on The View, now is your chance!

These women have refined their target market to about 3% of the buyer pool.  Seriously – can you picture a 25-year-old man calling these women and asking for help finding a condo?

“Phyllis – let’s get a photo of me looking at Patricia, and you looking at Gwynn.”

Here’s a real estate team from the ‘deep south.’

But what I’m wondering is: how did they decide who would sit on top of the car?

Was it a coveted position?  Were they fighting for it?  Or did they force that lady to get up there?

Cheddar.

Gouda.

Brie, mozzarella, havarti, feta, monterey jack.

It’s a great idea, and I have to give them credit for originality, but this is just so damn cheezy…

And what’s with Vanilla Ice on the right?

Circle gets the square…

This is actually a really cool idea.

Here is a real estate team from Whistler, BC, who took to the slopes for their photo session.

I haven’t been to Vancouver since I was six-years-old, but I hear that they play really hard on the west coast, and love their sports and leisure.

This is a great way to connect with clients.

Look at this guy – he’s got an ear-to-ear grin!

Is that because he has two wives?

Or because he’s successful at selling real estate?  I think the answer is obvious…

Is this a real estate team?

Or are those all the flight attendants at Barry Plant Airlines?

“To fasten the belt, insert the metal fitting into the buckle, and pull the strap to tighten.”

You can’t find a bigger real estate team than this.

Or can you?

Look at the size of this team!

Whatever happened to hiring a person instead of an idea?

And last but not least, these guys show you that they’re letting it all hang out – for you!

The password is……swordfish!

They care about your real estate needs so much that they’ll KILL for you!  Kill marine life, that is.

No shirt, no shoes, no way we can’t sell your house!

      Oops! Wow, spelling “real” incorrectly is like spelling your own name wrong. I’m sure we’ve all done that before. No?

      Maybe I shouldn’t have had that fourth bottle of wine last night. I was fine until the third one…

    I’d be smiling too if I worked with those two hott blonds everyday!
    You’re being too nice on this blog though. There are so many um “Markham-style” teams that have ten people that all look the same. For a guy that never holds back I woulda thought you’d play the race card here.

    The first team look like a polygamous cult, where the newest wives must stand in the “virginal hand clasp of chastity” pose

    If you can see a nipple in your real estate team photo, it’s time to fire your marketing department. 🙂

      Nipple in the photo?

      Seinfeld reference?
