I know I am a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here is probably the worst show on television, but have you noticed that we are a society that likes to watch other people suffer. If you do not know the show. They basically round up the worst actors, celebrities, and sports figures and put them in a jungle wearing shirts with a phone number on it. Then the people watching at home call in to send the person they want to be sent home. They do all kinds of really tough challenges, and all their food is rationed as well.
I guess it is kind of like we as real estate agents are in a television show on a daily basis. We run around:
- Dodging Snakes
- Cooking up Goosip
- Trying to be Leaders in the Community
- Deal with really Bad Actors
- Deal with really annoying people
- Deal with agents who once was, but are not anymore
It got me thinking that society really likes to see real estate agents suffer kind of like the television show.
- The Buyers come and ask you to show them property for several months only to find out that they can't afford to purchase a home.
- The Sellers lie to you about what they really know about their home
- The other real estate agents swear to you that they know what a short sale is and is going to facilitate the sale very quickly.
So I am a Real Estate Agent, but I want to stay so Society stop watching people suffer, and lets do something about it.
I am a Real Estate Agent.... I am Out of Here!

Slap stick comedy will always be very popular form of entertainment.
Great post, David. FYI: Prequal the buyers first! Then you won't be wasting your time. It makes you wonder why people can't simply be honest.
Richard thank you for your comment. I agree. We all love the Three Stooges.
Linda, thanks so much for your comment. I do prequal those buyers, but in many cases the info the buyer gives cant be proven so it ends up falling through.
