Real Estate Broker Posting Pics Of Photos On Her Site

Did you tell her?

She may have licensed them...

She could have traveled?

Or she could be sharing them? As the photographers wanted?

What makes you so sure they are not hers to use, Jon? That's a pretty stiff accusation to make.....
If you must know, why aren't you just asking her?
And if they aren't hers to use, what are you planning on doing about it?
How does this impact you?

Not your circus, not your monkeys.

Jon,

On FB, just add a post saying something like "Amazing images. are these yours!!!" and see how she responds.........

Rich

Do an image search
Find the original creator
Go on the image and say something like

Oh, you found a "insert name here" image...Thank you for sharing! Love their work.

Then add.....I can't see their name in the description...did you leave it off by accident? Easy to do :)

Then leave it alone

So I did a search,,they are not hers,,There are a ton of people asking her info about them and she never replied..

Agree Marlene its not might circus,,but something grabbed me about this,,too many people complimenting her on the images and asking questions.Getting all that interaction by posting another photographers work without the recognition. .And my intuition was right.. She is a bubble head from Boca Raton using images that gets people to interact with her real estate page. And they share it,,


Abbie, I and going to cut and paste your verbage!!!!

Not surprised she never replied to any of those requests. I've had plenty of experience with realtors, and it's shocking how some just don't appear to give a hoot about their reputation. If she doesn't respond to questions on her FB page, then how responsive is she going to be when selling your house? I like Abbie's suggestion, too, and it would be interesting to see if there is any response. My guess is probably not.

She doesn't reply because they are not hers.
So, now you know.
What do you hope to accomplish, Jon?
I assure you that she doesn't only post on FB.
I guess I'm not sure why you feel you can stop her, teach her a lesson, educate her......

Unless some of those pictures are yours, or a friend that you know, why does it chap your hide? Enjoy the pictures, ask if they are hers, and then move on. Or, behind the scenes you can message to her with an inquiry.

I tend to think that unless you are somehow involved and have a personal stake in it that you should just let this fade away...... ..... .... ... .. . . . . .

I have no idea why this one particular person irks me so. I guess it is the engagement she gets from it. I read have a dozen comments and she doesnt reply to most of them.. Maybe im annoyed because she is a typical boca bubble head that doesnt think twice about using other peoples work to try to get ahead..I did post a link to the original location of one of them..

Bottom line is that its deceptive to do that. We have enough scam artists and charlatans in florida. I

you can download the google and tin eye for your browser. then click on the image in facebook, then search. it doesn't work unless you do that.

if you can find the original person that made it. they can put in a complaint and have her taken out.

Just ask casually.

"Hey the photos on your page are amazing, where did you find them? Did you take them?"

Easy peasy.

Tilting at windmills:

"Fortune is guiding our affairs better than we ourselves could have wished. Do you see over yonder, friend Sancho, thirty or forty hulking giants? I intend to do battle with them and slay them. With their spoils we shall begin to be rich for this is a righteous war and the removal of so foul a brood from off the face of the earth is a service God will bless." -Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes

I sent her a note that she should give credit where credit is due. of course I also sent her a link to where she found the picture. Like I said,, she is just doing it for the "engagements" on her facebook page and for the attention.. Not a great way to get people interested in buying realestate when you steal.

Jon, to be honest, I don't think the average person looking for a house is caring about the pix on a realtor's website or ad, or where she got them....and I don't think she's gonna care about giving credit or you wanting her to give credit.

I agree Marlene, She obviously doesnt care that she stole someone photograph to try to sell her own site. Nor do her FB friends care,,it was mostly men that just want to have some sort of interaction with a woman. It just gave me something to do for the day,, Now on to bigger and better,,,,creating art!

THAT'S what I like to hear, Jon!

I'm with you on this one Jon, but I would contact the artists rather than her. I sure hope if someone noticed my work somewhere it shouldn't be, they'd make the effort to let me know.

For what it's worth, I will never understand the mindset of "since it's not you getting screwed, why should you care?" That's the kind of attitude that let's people just keep walking past a woman being beaten on the street or not reporting a kid with a plethora of bruises, simply because they don't want to get involved. I couldn't disagree with it more.

Susan,,i understand your reasoning too,, I did care that some bubble head from Boca Raton would have the balls to post other peoples work on her Real Estate site,, She did it just to get attention. She got plenty of comments about the images. Plenty of questions about where the pictures were taken. PLenty of compliments on the images too. BUt only replied when I posted a link to the actual site that had the same exact image. She pretty much never answered any question about authorship, and thats what bothered me most. So , i did what needed to be done. Now im going to create some art!

Susan,
It's clearly not a matter of not caring. It's more about the limitations one has in this situation to effect any change.

I better be careful...I have pictures of the Swiss Alps, Italy and Vermont on my FB page ;)
