Pity the Poor Realtor
- Share via
My heart goes out to poor Maggie D’Abo, who, as a Realtor, is in such a risky and unrewarding job (Letters, June 14).
How is it, I wonder, that the “decent” car she speaks of is so often an expensive foreign car or a top-of-the-line American model? And why do so many agents desert professions for which they trained, to work in this field so beset by the expenses she lists?
Many of the Realtors I’ve met--and having moved several times and also having had a real estate license years ago, I’ve met quite a few--have homes and vacation homes, wear good clothes and good jewelry, drive prestige cars and in general show no signs of the poorly paid, risky business she describes.
