Someone who treats people badly just isn't it.

NAR/Wells Fargo even handed out gaudy fake gold chains for everyone to look even more ridiculous. Know you’re good at what you do, but have a modicum of humility and go back to SERVING your customers.

Who cares if we are Top Producers or Multi-Million Dollar Club Members. The won't recognize us when they meet us in person because of the 20 year old glam shot in our ads an on our cards.

I think the transparency of social media and the ever-increasing savvy of real estate clients will bring an end to the "Top Producer" culture. True, Matthew.
