I can think of a couple great reasons to fire the blogger: 1. It offended women(the broker at least) 2. It is bad for the brokers brand Bottom line it is bad for business as defined by the broker. For the blogger it was good for business because his little publicity stunt (the kids are calling it link bait these days) worked and I am sure his rss is now in many readers as well as his inbound links are more than ever.

Like Bonnie said my broker also does not need to worry about my blogging. But there are many that I would worry about if I was their broker and responsible for their actions. I do think it's only a matter of time. I would hate to face that choice…but I do have a Brokers license and can go out on my own.

It's not my style but then I don't have her body. I remember well my comments on Real Talk which go with all comments I make on dress and the real estate agent. My client and I came to the investment property and parked behind a Jaguar convertible. My client's comment was he bet the car belonged to the listing agent. Sure enough, it did. The agent materialized with spike sling back heels, designer blue jeans, bare midriff, and windblown bottle blond hair. Lots of diamonds and bling. BUT she wowed both of us by personally opening each apartment, giving us copies of the leases and Schedule E with private info blacked out, giving us a pro-forma, etc. It was a first with this client to see an agent on the listing side doing their job. We got back in the car and as she drove away, he commented, "She deserves the car." Ultimately in Minnesota, the broker is liable for the behaviors of their licensees. They don't employ them but the licensees are to act as sub-agents for their broker. Things that make you go hmmmm? We have to put our logos and company name on everything. I work for a smaller company because I don't want the corporate pressure to conform. I really don't like the cheerleading sessions or drinking the kool-aid. My broker backs me because he knows he doesn't have to worry about my behavior. Was the video funny? On one level it was hilarious. From a professional view, it's kind of a toss up. Would he say something about the video if it were on my blog? Probably, but frankly, I wouldn't put it there. The written word is a flat medium and can easily be misunderstood.
