My niece, Laura, is convinced that she can't go into real estate because it would mean having to work with people she just can't stand, and she steadfastly refuses to compromise her ethics in that manner. For the life of me, I don't know where she gets that sentiment, and I don't mean that in a joking manner. I can't seem to get her to understand the profession is filled with wonderful people, and it's a sheer delight to work with my clients in Sacramento. Maybe this attitude has to do with the fact my niece lives in south Minneapolis.
Sure, every so often we as real estate agents have the distinct non-pleasure of engaging in a phone conversation with a person of dubious nature but, for the most part, that sort of thing is rare.
It's even more rare to be in a transaction or otherwise working with an obnoxious or rude or, worse, crazy person. OK, it happens from time to time, but not often enough to paint everybody in our path with such a broad brush. And when it does, well, it makes for great humor, is the way I look at it.
