What No One Tells You About Being Married To A Realtor
I don’t take it personally when my referrals don’t use him.
My husband made a career change about 3 years ago. He’s a Chartered Accountant by trade but real estate has been his passion for years. It was one of the reasons we fell in love as we both love Vancouver. When he took the plunge, we had a 2-year-old and were working on expanding our family.
The change affected our marriage, family dynamics, schedules and everything in between. I expected things to be different but there were some things no one told me about.

What do lawyers, used car salesmen, and realtors have in common?
Too many jokes about how slimy they are.
I used to think realtors were money-grubbing, commission-driven scum of the earth. When I sold my first condo, it seemed like my realtor barely did anything and yet he received a chunk of the proceeds. I did the nasty thing at the last minute of our negotiations, I made him cut part of his commission to make the offer work.
But now, after seeing and experiencing the other side of the coin, I realized realtors work their asses off. It’s not easy…
