I am wondering if your company would be able to help an Elvis in your area. I have been doing this for 20 years. I can be seen on You Tube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyxOkd-XvZU. Check it out and see what you think. Thank You Ricky Scott I am an Elvis Impersonator. I am wondering if your company would be able to help an Elvis in your area. I have been doing this for 20 years.

If you insist on being a revolutionary agent who provides their clients with superb marketing and brands themselves better than others- if you utilize your talents, then you have to expect that others will try to copy. And you will have to watch for these people and make sure they know that you see and won't accept it. Take personal accountability for being creative and excelling in your field. You can't put all the blame on the cheaters- they are not the ones with all the talent. You gotta take the good with the bad.

Stan, For us realtors, the blog IS our place of business - it's where we can best demonstrate our skill and ability to help people. You have something to say, and have been a long-time participant. I'll take my finger off the delete button - can you just give us a bit of a break so we can help a few people? Kris, thanks for backing me up, I appreciate it and you.

It's not only unfair to use your words and your images but this cheater puts you at risk as being seen as copying him. I had something similar happen to me once. Another agent copied portions of my website. I told him that I was most concerned that someone might think I stole his work. I ended up updated my site rather than fight with a fool. Sad, indeed.

Or, just maybe, Jim the Realtor blogs because he sees it as part of his job, and because a key element of his business plan is to market broadly in a changing landscape of technology, thereby allowing him to remain innovative and relevant. I'm just sayin'. Perhaps “Jim the Realtor” doesn’t have much to do.

Hopefully the bad ones are already gone. I see Jim the Realtor doesn't have much to do but blog all day. Since most Realtors were created in the last 3 years most will be gone soon.

What happened to freedom of speach-without-worry-of-being-sued? Maybe we should burn some Dixie Chick CD's and remember what its like to be a real American! =) What was done IS illegal and unethical, its sad that we live in such a volitile place these days where we have to watch what we say.

I agree with everything you wrote and would hate to see someone take advantage of this slip. You and Steve are a great team thank you for being in the business. I will eat crow and admit that, while the use of the term may have been misinterpreted (I was speaking generally), I have deleted the reference. This from an email:

Cheri, It really is silly when you consider that nothing is perfect, and it would have made more sense to take my materials or your instructions and improve upon them!
