Notice, I don't see many posts since this blurb last October. Hummm. I invite you to "A Day in the Life of a Realtor" and see what your impression is. I'm not saying the clip isn't funny, I'm only saying I think you may be underestimating the life of a true real estate agent. Its the same old rule: 20% of real estate agents do 80% of the business. Its the part timers who give us the reputation of lazy. Don't be mistaken. Hire the right agent and realize the difference for yourself.</p> OK. Notice, I don’t see many posts since this blurb
