I have a 60 day old baby and am the proprietor of a new business in a depressed market segment (real estate).

So yes, I am pretty much always tired when I write.

All I was saying is that I think sweeping statements as to this guy’s character is an over statement.
He may very well be a jerk but clumsy and careless marketing does not convince me of that.

A few years ago, several agents in my office (back when it was a different company) put together the REPO EXPRESS TOUR (I lobbied to call it “REO Speedwagon but that was apparently taken).
We piled clients in a bus and showed them like 5 REO’s on a Sunday morning.
This was just before “deals on the bus”, and several others started.
It fell apart and really annoyed a lot of people.
I think I was the only one to ever close any deals off of that particular stunt.

The upshot was that the broker spent a lot of money, wasted a lot of time, and caused a lot of people to dislike her and the firm.

Whether or not she was a jerk is debatable but she had no ill intent other than getting bank-owned houses sold.

My point is this:
Its easy to have a tin ear as a small business owner doing one’s own marketing.
Its very easy to piss people off without meaning to.
I suspect this guy’s primary liability is just tone-deafness (that and having gone to BYU).
