Well, I got ghosted again. It’s my own damn fault, bc before the Italy trip, a few places in my hood came on the market. So being the follow-up kind of person that I am, I reached out to that couple who rents in my hood. I had met them at an open house I hosted back around Christmas and they ghosted me back then.

This time, I thought might be different. And twice, I made the ask to work together. I turned them on to one home on their same street and they said they wanted to submit an offer. I took the call from Italy even and made arrangements. Then, when I sent them the paperwork, no response. at all. Yup, ghosted again. Apparently, it’s Halloween in May over here. Smh.

Even John was so shocked by how unprofessional these white-collar, tech workers are. I mean, who operates like that? and with their neighbor, of all people? They said they wanted me to work with them on the offer. Then, once again, they just pumped me for info and then never replied to my voice mail, texts, or emails. The lesson learned? Real estate is seriously one of THE most disrespected professions ever. People not only have zero loyalty, they have zero respect. They think it takes nothing to buy or sell a property. Never mind ALL the paperwork and legal docs and the fiduciary responsibilities. It’s disappointing and annoying. Since then, more properties in my hood have come on the market, but I refrain from contacting them. I’m done with folks like that. If they won’t show some respect, I will have to respect myself and not work with flakey people.
