Real Estate Agents, Go Figure

In a new twist, some buyers agents are now installing their own post-sale signs. That's right, after the listing agent removes his/her sign, the buyer's agent installs their own, complete with a prominent rider that reads SOLD.


(Remember this beaut, and my dark green signage?)






Self-promotion, I concede, is a necessary evil of the practice, heck I do my own chest-beating now and again, not to mention RecenteringElPueblo; still, this tactic put me a bit off-balance, and it enraged my seller, "the neighbors'll think you lost the listing, and this other person represented me in the sale."
"They might", I answered, considering appearances.
"This other agent has absolutely no presence in this neighborhood", my seller continued, "she's a carpet bagger."
"It is a bit misleading," I agreed, "but most of your neighbors know me."
"All the more reason why", the seller persisted.

Ultimately, my seller called the other agent's office manager, complained, and the sign was removed.
