I don’t know. Just seems wrong to me.

You’ve got to be kidding. Please tell me you photo-shopped that! Pretty corny. I guess it is no different than flying the big #3 for Dale Earndhardt under the American Flag. Your title says it right though….just seems wrong.

It’s real. About a half a mile from my house.

I pledge allegiance to the flag, of the National…. I am not really sure why one would need a Realtor flag. But I guess someone found a purpose. Grab a (franchise color of your choice) jacket and salute, boys and girls. All agents are created equal and swear to one nation under the Commission…
Sorry for non-sense rambling. It was just my first thoughts when I saw the flag 🙂
Hi! I'm Rudy from Trulia. Nice find Jay...

Hmmmmm? I kinda dig it in a weird way Jay 🙂 But then again, I love offline marketing and branding more than most people do.

Terrible…terrible and very poor taste in my opinion!

I would totally do it, but then I wouldn’t have room for a Packer flag (in season of course) 😉
& I wonder what kind of car magnets they have on their car?
Jay Thompson

@Andy – you would 😉 Is there really an off-season for a true Packer’s fan?
@all – curious if anyone has *ever* seen a flag flying for ANY other profession? I don’t recall ever seeing one…

First time for me Jay.
When I lived in Wisconsin I saw plenty of Packer flags next to the US flag – don’t recall seeing it like it is there.
I guess the agent is a die hard professional!

lol Why do I hear Lee Greenwood playing in the background when I see that picture? It’s not a bad thing, every builder in Texas has something like that with their logo/American Flag. Oh well.

A builder I can see, or even at a real estate office. But this is on a home in suburbia. I think it’s weird.

Please update with a picture when the home is ‘egged’ or toilet papered…

I think I would be worried about being victim to hate crimes. Oops – Now I see XBroker beat me to the punch.
Yes, Jay, I agree. This is somewhat disturbing.

It could be worse, there could be a confederate flag next to it! LOL!
(they also forgot to include the agent’s picture on the flag)

I’m glad that this seems “wrong” to someone on the ‘inside’ in RealEstate(R). It leaves me (a civilian) with a sour taste in my mouth for Realtor(R)s.

Thanks @mikeneumann for adding your thoughts.
THAT should be a very telling comment for agents out there……

When the British were coming during the war of 1812 Mary Pickersgill and half a dozen other women sewed all night — night after night — to make the Star Spangled Banner. I think she would find this distasteful.

My first response would be why?
have I ever seen one for other professions? Well there is an actuary down the street from me and he hangs and abacus under his flag.
Honestly, I just think it crosses a line of class vs. marketing.
