At least they don't put fricking pictures of themselves on the ads in england though

Hi

Estate agents post their picture so that clients are comfortable when they meet (trust me, they don't really like to do it but it is safer for all) and know they are the legitimate. It has been known that some scam artists have posed as an agent to get cash deposits/rob clients but probably where you are from everyone is honest and on the up and up!

Usually the photos bare no resemblance to the actual person to the person in the cheesy photo. You meet a 50 something realtor...the pic was taken 30 years ago.

Oh, so that's the reason why they do it! Thanks for clearing that one up then

I'd personally rely on somethign a little more sophisticated than a cheesy photo to figure if something is legit or not before handing over my cash.

Nope, just potentially a small cog in the bloated behemoth overlooking the East River

No exaggeration, a realtor of about 50+ was touting for business in our street recently, the card literally had her high school photo on it.

Blimey, you should hear what people who work there actually say about it! This is nothing

(my young love-that-got-away ended up working for them in Europe.. and my mother said he'd never amount to anything! He's married to a fabulous, gorgeous physician, living the good life... it shoulda been me!)
