Selling real estate is a piece of cake, right? Show a few homes, scribble some ink on a few sheets of paper, and deposit wheelbarrows full of cash into your bank account. Right?
Not even.
Realtors work hard. They also grind through their own set of unique problems daily — problems most people outside the industry can’t relate with. In fact, they’ve coined their own hashtag: #realtorproblems. Below are some of the truest (and most entertaining) examples I’ve seen. Enjoy!
