FYI: You know that agent you had a miserable transaction with? The one who made your life a living hell from the first showing? You're going to see them again. And again. And again. In fact, the next house your buyer falls in love with will probably be their listing! Real estate is a very small world.

Agent: "When's a good time to see some property?" Client: "When's the worst possible time for you?"

I’m at 17 text messages from unknown numbers today. All political + the usual daily spam that comes with being a real estate agent. At this point, I’m more surprised when I get a text from someone I actually know.

I've had my real estate license for 4,015 days and still nobody has asked me how many sections are in a township.

Oh look, a housing doomer posting a screenshot of a random price cut with zero context to convince everyone the housing market is crashing. “Worse than 2008! You have no idea what’s coming!!”
Oh look that thing people told me would never happen is literally happening

When you’re on a conference call with your client and their know-it-all cousin who bought a house once starts chiming in to tell you how to do your job

You instantly become the worst driver in the world when a client follows you to a showing.

You know all those spam texts you’re getting from politicians right now? Imagine that. FOREVER. That’s being a real estate agent. Health insurance. Fake referrals. “Cash buyers.” Fake house flippers. Lead gen companies. Scams. All day. Every day. I’m getting like 10 a day at this point. Welcome to our world.

Death, taxes, and randomly getting added to another real estate agent’s newsletter out of nowhere. Now I’m getting Susan’s JUST LISTED email blasts? I’ve literally never met this person.

Death, taxes, and the listing agent saying they have two offers when the house has been sitting for 150+ days.

You know you're in for a long real estate transaction when the agent on the other side never answers the phone or responds to texts.

One of the most underrated skills you develop working in real estate is the ability to recognize an insane person almost immediately. The longer you’re in the business, the quicker you can spot it. What used to take a few conversations (or a few showings) eventually takes 30 seconds.
