Real Estate Ick: The Quirks That Drive Agents Crazy
Let’s be real — even the most well-meaning home buyers can sometimes test a realtor’s patience. No judgment… okay, maybe just a little. After years in the field, here are a few of my top real estate ‘icks’ — and if you recognize yourself in any of these, just know your agent probably still likes you… but also maybe needed a deep sigh and a snack after your last showing.
• The Ghoster – They’re texting non-stop, asking great questions, and excited about homes… until you mention pre-approval. Poof. Vanished like a dream after hitting snooze.
• The Tire Kicker – Claims to be “just looking,” but suddenly wants to tour every home in a 50-mile radius — and then wants to see them all again. And again.
• The Unrealistic Dreamer – Says they live for natural light, but complains that “this house has too many windows.” Pick a lane, friend.
• The Serial Zillow Addict – Wakes up at 5 AM to send you a dozen listings that are either already under contract, 3 hours away, or sold in 2022.
• The ‘No Lowballs’ Guy – He’s “serious” about buying and “doesn’t want to offend anyone,” but also thinks offering half the list price is just good negotiation.
Buying a home is a journey, and quirks come with the territory — but trust me, your agent sees everything. If you’ve got real estate icks of your own (we know sellers and other agents aren’t off the hook either), drop them in the comments!
