This is hilarious and likely very true.
As a Realtor, Our profession has the highest standard of professionalism and confidentiality anywhere in the world. We are governed by State and Federal ethics laws that ensure our clients privacy.
Now for the Truth:
Realtors are the most catty, insincere, gossipy people on earth. Having worked for multiple Brokers over the years because sometimes I can't STAND the levels of unprofessional-ism in some offices and I have to leave.
Realtors like to snoop, closets, cabinets and storage areas being favorite places to look in.
Realtors have weekly office meetings that typically devolve into "You would not believe what X client did,said, has at their house"
Realtors have bi monthly "Happy Hours" that are a repeat of the above, but with other Brokers office
If the house has something unique happening it becomes known for that thing "The Smurf House","The Kink House","The General Lee House","The Shoe House", etc.
So you can be sure that not only has it gotten around, you may also get appointments now from Realtors looking to "Pre-View" your house without bringing a client, just so they will have a chance to.
Pushy Realtors are among the worst.
I'm NOT saying all fit my description, but the high 75-80 percent do.
After years of being in this business, the best thing any home owner can do is install a nanny cam for use during showings and open houses.
I used to loan homeowners the use of a Nanny Cam for homeowners concerned about personal property safety and had to stop because of the things fellow realtors were caught doing.
