How does, "Top Producing Agent" work for you?

You are not what you claim you are.  Claim you are a licensed agent, loan officer w/o a license.  Claim you can get bank to forgive debt and charge a flat fee in advance.

Many new agents claim they are top 1% 2% w/o substantiating with data.

A group of African scammers conspiring with Western union to rent homes in the us that are not really for rent, but rather vacant for sale listings.

Like Barbara Todaro -- I believe this is in the very capable hands of Richard Weeks.

I'm waiting for Richard Weeks to give his answer..... 

Lying about a propery

Yep, I was right: ''Industry Observer / Clearfield, UTAgent Professor''.

"New heater" when it's 5 years old.

The "best" agent for all your real estate needs..?

Advertising a property as something it's not ie. two units as a "duplex". Make sure you check with your building department first. An agent had this happen and it became VERY costly to her and impacted her license.

Gabe Sanders took the words right out of my mouth.  Good luck in class.

There are many who stretch the truth, and some who out and out lie.

Things I've seen in my market are agents advertising dens in basements as bedrooms or photoshopping power lines out of exterior pictures.

"You can contact me 24/7" no one is avaliable all the time. people have families and other obligations

There are people out there doing property management without a license.

Read Craigs List and watch for the things that appear too good to be true.

Claiming to be "#1" when you're not...

Claiming to buy a house if you can't sell it...when you won't...

Typically anything advertising that fails to disclose all terms and conditions with the ad itself.

Soundbites sound great...details "stink"!

Sandy Padula and Norm Padula, JD, GRI beat me to it!

offering services that you are not qualified to do.

pics on an mls listing that arent of that home

Aubree Matheson Bait and switch.

Advertising unpermitted rooms or features....Exaggerating anything in general and not telling the whole story will do for starters

"We will buy your house if it does not sell in 60 days" (sure you will, for 50 cents on the dollar).

 My favorite is when ads state view property that really isn't there unless you stand on the roof.....

Aubrey,

We are all in agreement that Richard Weeks has the answers...just read his questions.  A

There exists 3 dominions of advertising regarding real estate.

1. The property
2. The agent
3. The broker

Some would throw in #4 related to branding.

#2, #3 and #4 can all be accused of Success Theater, Vanity Metrics and Surrogate Endpoints. (fakery)

That leaves only #1 with any hope of sustained integrity and fidelity to the facts. Be aware, much of what the public sees on advertising websites mistaken for real estate websites such as Z-devil, is saturated with FALSE advertising (For Sale but sold months ago) for which they are not accountable. The leaves advertising regarding the property a bit subjective.

A suggestion of false property advertising would be 4br/3ba/3, 724 SF

One of them and very common these days: photographic enhancement.

Aubree Matheson - claim something that is not true! Simple.

Bedrooms that are non comforting that they have as bedrooms
