9% increase. From 75 to 82? From 10,000 to 10900? What are we talking about here?

The guy I'm talking to says all realtors, no exceptions.

I would argue that some realtors are scummy. This is true for most professions. I would also argue that most realtors are not scumbags. They might be bad to deal with (as another agent, inside the office etc) but I bet more of their clients are happy with the results they deliver than arent and had to sue them. Or they wouldn't be a top agent.

It's spurious to suggest that all realtors are lying scum when we know there are some, but it's not a majority.

It sounds like you just have bad info or bad experiences. We had to buy our house sight unseen with only virtual walkthroughs. Our realtor was extremely honest and pointed out every potential issue, even stuff we wouldn't have noticed since it was online (like if a house smelled funny). We had a great experience and knew exactly what we were getting into. I don't doubt there are shady realtors and groups out there but it's dangerous to paint any group of people with such a broad brush.

Next time chew on something, chewing keeps you awake.

Also I understand her situation, nobody wants to wake people up at night that will make them think what inconsiderate girl she is.

She was crying and its middle of the night, even if you make 100 trips before you still can get lost when you are emotional and drift away in thoughts, so stop blaming her and own your mistake, make it upto her.

electrical engineers are a bunch of scam artists and scumbags bro. I had a bad experience with one of them therefore they’re all absolute trash. The entire profession is predicated on scamming and bad business practices, you can’t do the job of an electric engineer without being a total scumbag

If it's only been a few hours, I wouldn't worry. Sometimes people get busy and they don't respond. It doesn't mean you should latch on to the one element of the last message you can spot.

If it's been a couple of days, then maybe you should be concerned, but keep the focus on business, not what they think of you. If they didn't think you were annoying before, overworrying about an emoji would more likely annoy them.

I worked in the backend (finance) of real estate brokerages (3 different ones)

So so many lawsuits. (Good luck proving it. Lawsuits happen, many real estate agents have liability insurance.) Actually, there was a 9% increase of lawsuits in the USA from 2021 to 2022 against agents and brokers.

I've seen such scummy behavior and I've worked with over 400 agents in multiple brokerages. The top performers who sold the most? Two faced people who lie and cheat their way for profits.

They get sued yep. Often gets dismissed. I've seen them get penalties from the real estate boards.. which are a fraction of the commission. They get a $25,000 commission from a sale. They get hit with a $5000 fine. Cost of doing business still made $20,000.
