Hi sdr – the skimming refers to my post about seeing an attorney to review my lease and you wrote something about me having landlord problems. Another poster commented on you not reading it accurately, as she explained it to you.

I disagree with real estate as a noble profession. I don’t think anyone should be selling real estate right now, but at least he is honest and tells his clients that real estate is going down, and his website has the data to prove it. That’s why I can overlook what he does. He tells his clients to buy only if they can afford the payments and can ride out the cycle. I’ve had other realtors tell me that RE only goes up.

Like you, he has to convince himself that people need homes, or neither of you could continue your jobs. He is new in the business, and has fewer sales behind him, but as I said, he is so busy now, he is turning away business. Instead of congratulating him, you look him up, and try to find flaws. You attack his data, his sales history, the races of his clients. Why? Are you jealous? Are you feeling left out? I am impressed with his character, and he’s really nice. Please don’t feel left out. If you keep being nice to me, I will praise you also. Promise!

I also like Bob because he is like a business mentor I never had, and I can learn so much from him. He’s wise, he’s funny, and he’s interesting.
