Although the Costello Group has since deleted their company Facebook page CBS Seattle reported a sampling of the comments that had been left by irate locals:

"Very disrespectful to insinuate a woman can't fulfill responsibilities as a mother and real estate agent."

"I am sorry that you feel the need to belittle the working mother to make yourselves look like professionals!"

"This ad is so offensive to woman and men everywhere. I would hope that you are taking a long hard look at your marketing firm over this ad placement as well as who approved it in your own firm. Extremely unfortunate choice of advertising."
