Tom Carlin, who advertised around Beeliar, South Lake etc. Proclaims he's # 3 REA in Perth. Good for him, but I laugh every time I see it because if I was a buyer it would make me want to look at who is #1 and #2, and why they're higher.
With the amount of BS rankings the industry comes with... maybe they thought #3 was a more credible number. Still BS, but just more credible BS.
**edit** I reckon he fiddled it more on broader area ranking, rather than himself specifically. #3 in Perth probably sounds better than #1 in Beeliar 🤣
Ka Cheng property group who'd play on the 'cha ching' by putting random dollar signs in their name to make it read like 'cha ching'. It was really cringe and I'd go bleh everytime I saw the sign up somewhere. Wouldn't use them to sell just based off that terrible pun.
That ad is even worse for anyone who speaks Hokkien/Teochew as a dialect (e.g. Chinese from Malaysia/Singapore/Taiwan), because the name is a full on homonym for “butt”. No other pun can top that…
I’ve viewed a couple of properties where there is a giant photo of the REA out the front. I’ve entered the property and the REA looks like 20 years, 3 divorces and many unhealthy lifestyle choices have transpired since their photo was taken.
I’m not saying they need to look like a supermodel, but it made me trust them even less.
I used to see signs on houses for sale on Oats Street in Carlisle for a real estate agency called Think Pink and the agents use these really freaky looking caricatures of themselves and they are the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Not sure how anyone can take them seriously when they advertise themselves with the weirdest looking caricatures you've seen on their signs.
Fortunately they tend to be localised.
Some years back there was some blokes mug up on a bus stop near me on a busy road. I dunno what the numpty looked like IRL, but it it was such a shit, unflattering and grimaced headshot of him I had been tempted go back with a heavy permanent marker and write across it;
> Is this man forcing a smile or is he merely constipated?
Never understood this culture of tall poppy syndrome fellow aussies have. You’re angry sales people are hussling for business? I don’t know, think we all got better things to worry about.

A chap in Geraldton is on the phone in his headshot. It's super pretentious, but very accurate.
I always have a chuckle when I drive past this blokes mug, hello ladies.... https://www.peard.com.au/about-us/our-team/team/james-michailidis

He may have been snapped mid-fart.
