Denice Reich, a prominent Denver-area realtor, has been dumped by RE/MAX Alliance after a post on Nextdoor accusing her of removing Black Lives Matters signs from yards in the Hilltop neighborhood.
When reached by phone on August 19, Reich, who pronounces her last name "Rich," told Westword that she would send a statement about the situation that afternoon, adding, "We want the truth out, not the bullshit." While no statement has yet arrived, Reich subsequently told Denver7 that she removed two BLM placards, not the six to eight claimed on Nextdoor, because "the signs were as offensive as 'KKK' signs," and insisted she returned them a few hours later. She also called Black Lives Matter "a 'terrorist organization' out to destroy America."

“Dumped”. Big deal. She can go to another brokerage.
No different than someone taking a Trump sign, unfortunately.
Reading the Big Black Book of Communism.. that is a 40s dictator move. Is there any corporation that is not doing similar things. They insust on absolute control over your perssonal beliefs. And with the help of masking is patriotic, they are drunk with power. I truly would love to know if there are any companies left like that.
“the signs were as offensive as ‘KKK’ signs,” and insisted she returned them a few hours later. She also called Black Lives Matter “a ‘terrorist organization’ out to destroy America.”

All of that is true, of course.
Were the BLM signs placed on land without the permission of the owners? If so, good for her for removing the signs. If not, she deserved to be fired. And maybe cited for petty theft as well.
BLM is the black KKK. The Democrats are destroying Denver.
BLM signs hurt property values.
Assuming that these signs were in the yards of her clients then she was doing what she thought best to avoid offending potential home buyers and to ensure a quick sale of the homes.
Grounds for a reprimand? Perhaps.
Firing and a press hissy fit? No way!
“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”
Not “dumped”.
Cancelled.
No brokerage will hire her now.
Correct, nobody has a right to go onto someone else's property, let alone steal their stuff.
I don't care if it is a Trump sign, BLM sign, or an ugly pink flamingo. What someone else does with their property is their business.
Unless you can prove actual harm of some kind in court, suck it up.

You’re right in that she was probably doing what she thought was best. But it all depends on who put those signs there in the first place. If it was the property owner, she has no right to touch them. No right at all. It doesn’t matter if those signs negatively affect the home’s curb appeal.
But if those signs weren’t put there by the property owner, throw them into the garbage ASAP.
Dump remax, BLM posters are bad for business, she realized this the stupid company is already taking a knee and giving in, F’m
The irony is that she’s got good real estate sense. I’m searching for a new home now, and I’d not only steer clear of a house with a BLM sign on a front lawn next door, but from a house with a BLM sign anywhere in the same town.
German Sun Sign is BLM sign. Place one in your yard and the National Socialist will not harm you.
The thing is that if she’d been going on other people’s property and stealing Trump/Pence or Blue Lives Matter signs, some people here would be calling for life imprisonment.
The founders of BLM are self-proclaimed Marxists, AKA Communists. It’s mind boggling to me that after the history of the 20th Century that association with Communists isn’t as socially unacceptable as association with Nazis. They are both abhorrent.

I’m noticing BLM signs in front of some businesses in my neck of the woods. It’s really weird. I live in a conservative Democrat region. Folks here will vote for Biden. But they will also go deer hunting in the fall.
So what’s the deal with the BLM signs? The only thing I can think of is that it’s some kind of insurance against getting a rock thrown through your window. Like I said, it’s really weird.
Anyone there who votes for Biden is not a “conservative” Democrat by any stretch.
