In a stunning fall from grace Brisbane’s so called “No 1 real estate agent” has been sacked from her agency for mocking tenants in a local Facebook group.

Aimee Therese Marsh was a top performing agent at Ray White Aspley, near Griffin in the city’s north, before she was unceremoniously fired on Tuesday.

In posts to her professional social media page obtained by the Daily Mail, Ms Marsh blasted tenants as a “disgrace” and “irrelevant”.

She also wrote after a laughing emoji: “Half of them don’t even own homes in Griffin.”

In another message, she agreed with another social media user who said tenants were “nobodies”.

“They probably earn 50k a year and (are) envious of me,” she wrote.

“I pay twice their wage in tax, or I probably pay their Centrelink wages.”

She then made another comment from her personal Facebook page: “Jealously is a curse and money controls people and emotions lol. I can’t wait to sell the houses they rent hehe.”

The comments have since been deleted and her social media profile has also vanished and personal accounts locked.

Alex Tilbury, a spokeswoman for Ray White, told news.com.au the views of Ms Marsh “do not align with the values of our business”.

“As a result we made the business decision to terminate her employment yesterday,” Ms Tilbury said

“We respect and value each and every one within our community … We apologise to anyone who may have been offended as well as any members within our community if these views have offended.”

Ms Marsh has been offered counselling through Ray White’s employee assistance program.

According to her profile on Ray White she has “exceptional understanding of a customer’s needs and wants”.

“Aimee’s background in high intensity customer service roles has her very much aware of how important customer satisfaction is,” the profile read

“Aimee prides herself daily on her rapport with her customers.”

Ms Marsh had a 4.9 star (out of 5 star) review by customers. Eighty out of 94 reviews awarded her five stars, with the talented agent frequently referred to as “Brisbane’s No 1 agent”.

One person gushed: “There is a reason Aimee is the no. 1 agent in her area. She gets the results you want, in the timeline that you want. Excellent communicator and a pleasure to deal with, no challenge is too large!”

Another described her as a “gem of an agent”.

“Super approachable, relatable and quick,” the person wrote. “We have had a fantastic experience and everything was so smooth because of Aimee.”

While another thanked her for her “professionalism, enthusiasm and commitment to selling their property”.

“You kept us up to date with correspondence and made the whole process stress free for us.”

Ms Marsh declined to comment to news.com.au but said she was contemplating legal action against Ray White.
