23 Daily Struggles Of People Who Work In Real Estate

So little time. So much paperwork. Our users don't sugarcoat anything ;)

Couples that can't agree on anything.

Wow, this is awkward...

Houses with bad curb appeal.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Having to take client calls 24/7.

Totally fine to call me at 2am on Sunday. I'm always working.

Overpriced properties.

Maybe it's $500,000 over budget, but you can always negotiate.

Clients who work with multiple agents.

No worries. We don't work on commission or anything.

Old headshots.

I'm sorry, is that your senior portrait?

Buyers who want to see everything – or are just 'taking a look' around.

Why narrow your focus when I can show you every property in town?

Outdated listing data.

Oh, so this house actually sold back in 2011? Awesome.

Using 10 apps to get 1 thing done.

I love switching between 10 different windows on my computer.

Not being able to read contracts after they've been faxed 10 times.

The fax machine is still useful. Seriously.

Unrealistic sellers.

Sure, I can get you more than asking. Just give me 24 hours.

Unrealistic buyers.

Sure. Offer them half of what they're asking – and throw in closing costs while you're at it.

E-mail newsletters that just aren't relevant.

You never know, you might want a vacation property in Antarctica.

Agents who don't respond.

Just talking to myself over here. No big deal.

Pocket listings.

Enough said.

Know-it-all clients.

Little known fact, but watching House Hunters or Million Dollar Listing does not make you an expert.

Home inspections.

What do you mean you didn't know your house has zero insulation?

Home appraisals.

Maybe I overestimated a little bit at first, but I know I can get you full asking.

Reality TV shows that make it look so easy.

Aren't deals always closed over the phone with five negotiations in 60 minutes?

Getting documents signed on the go

Texting and driving is illegal – but not signing and driving.

Group negotiations.

Can't we all just get along?

Agents who say "I'm a top producer."

Congratulations. Should I send you a balloon bouquet?

So much paperwork.
