1.   You are fired.  Brokers don’t like your poem

About Realtors whom you don’t like much.

Your poem is totally negative:  Not a player.

You need to cooperate to stay in the game.

2.   You are fired.  You were never a problem.

Hard working, mindlessly hard working.

You need to work smart:  Don’t work.

You are just too much headaches for us all.

3.   You are fired.  I like you.  You might succeed.

You are short, short sighted, not elegant, the wrong image for success.

You are yet stubborn:  I want your own good.

Too independent even for a Realtor.

4.   You are fired.  Your freedom of speech is dangerous.

You are confirming peoples’ perception about us.

Fat commissions to sustain expensive images.

Luxury cars, on lease.  Too busy, appointment next week.

5.   You are fired.  You should not host open houses 5 days a week.

Open houses don’t sell homes.

Ads and accessible information don’t either.

Listen to me:  Plant the sign.

What sell are price and time.

Price, low prices, time, long time.

Note: I tried for 5 years this real estates business, out of stubborn determination and did well for a while after 2 years of Not listing or selling a single property.
