Why do you guys find this so offensive? Is it because it is hanging with an American flag? If a business had this flag hanging by itself would it still be all bad? I was actually thinking about hanging a Realtor flag outside of my brokerage on a single pole (no other flags) to draw attention to my signage. Will I be burned at the stake for this? Lol. Thanks.

I don't find it offensive but all the other adjectives yes. I was once a Realtor and now consider myself a marketer. I can tell you that in my experience Realtors as a whole are the worst marketers on the planet. Don't tell their clients but they don't market anything. I've run into this blog several times on my ventures around the web and I always have the same thought. Huh, this is a rarity, a Realtor putting out useful up to date information on the web. Really strange.

I did write an article on marketing real estate online once a long time ago

But then what do I know, I had a hard time adding the numbers for your capcha

I was not born or raised here in the US – and oddly, I EVEN find that offensive.

Hanging a Realtor flag is no problem, cheezy at best. But for crying out loud – hang the flag seperately…not attached to the American flag.

Etiquette ok, but really I am with the guy who mentoned the $5 extra for an additional pole, but I guess this person is too cheap to for $5, jjust look at his marketing.

Has anyone wondered if that is similar to hang out the "Shingle" in your neighborhood? There will probably be no one to visit this "REALTOR" but this begs the question, is he violating is HOA CC&R's?

He may need a third flag posting the hours of operation ( The time they sit home and watch tv and not at the "real" job.

Too many people do not understand flag etiquette.

With that said: Technically, there is nothing wrong in the picture. But I wouldn't fly it that way…… and although I am not offended, I am a little annoyed that someone would not honor our colors better.

Another flad stick would cost $5….. *sigh*

That is a little different but it's not too different than some other flags that people fly. A little out of it's league on the same pole as the American flag but it is an association and sure beats a confederate flag or worse flags that idiots fly along side American flags.
