Are you a pushy Realtor?

This clip may just be a quick laugh for you as it was for us, but it raises a good question.
Is this the way real estate agents are still percieved by the masses, not each other, real consumers? Yes, there are realtors that are tech savvy, hip and using social media properly, but aren’t they the exception? What percentage of agents fall into the tech savvy/good with 35 and under catergory vs. how many are still percieved at least a bit like the agent in this clip; pushy, outdated and desperate? Seems the Tech Savvy Agents are creating blogs, websites and marketing pieces that are educating as opposed to advertising. “Edutising”. Better than pushy.

  1. In my 9 years in the real estate business, I have seen it all-the pushy, the mushy and the “on point.” There’s a new generation of professionals on the horizon that will elevate the professional standards which we as a community deliver to the public. The Shifted market has created an opportunity for high minded business professionals……it is an exciting time.

  2. Thanks for the comment. We are excited as well to elevate the game! Glad to know there are plenty of agents making the proper adjustments. Markets dictate strategies not incomes!

  3. I wonder if that would really work. Maybe I will give it a try.
    We all need a good laugh now and then. Thanks

    I love this video. If I ever need a laugh I just pull this up. Our profession provides so many great opportunities to laugh.

    I think it’s hilarious. I’ve had it on my website for a long time under “Real Estate Humor”. Of course, I have a disclaimer on it that I am NOT at all like that agent. But I don’t see where “tech savvy, hip and using social media properly” is mutually exclusive with pushy. Neither is “being able to laugh at yourself”, but it sure goes a long way towards making you a relatable person.
