Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice

There's a new trend among local real estate agents. It's the sign that says simply:  

JULIE

There is, of course, a company name and phone number on this sign. But only a first name. Clearly, the agents using these signs are either convinced they're so famous that they're a household name or they're hoping to be.

If Cher ever decides to go into real estate, she can get by with putting just "Cher" on the sign. Same with Prince.

For the rest of you...

There are about 770 real estate agents in the local REALTOR association. I'm not the only Julie. You're probably not the only Bob or Carol or Ted or Alice. Get over yourself and put your whole name on the sign!

And, by the way, have you filed that "Doing Business As" form with DPOR allowing you to use just your first name in advertising?

Susan,

Thanks for the comment and reminder! That happened to me after about a year in the business so I got my reminder early on. I think a lot of agents haven't really thought this out.
