That we are available 24/7! No way... (and we shouldn't be, either). Real estate is not my life the way those old NAR ads claimed. It's what I do professionally and is just part of my life.

My pet peeves are the correlation to a used car salesman and that the only thing agents care about is commissions!

People are hiring the agent not the brand/brokerage - truth

Myth - if you hire the big box brand you get the big bucks marketing  and brand with it. 

Truth - you only get that if the agent one hires is marketing the heck out of the property ... more than 6 iphone photos in the MLS and they answer their phone and respond to emaiils.
