Realtors are a bit like housepets; when they pass through they mark the territory to announce to all the rest of their kind, “I was here!” For the most part, realtors do this marking by leaving a business card in a conspicuous place. But I suspect some have less polite habits, for after our recent open house I found a few stains I couldn’t identify.
Today was the second time we had a tour of realtors through the house. They descend in a mass like a biblical plague, quickly count bedrooms and bathrooms, and exit in haste, leaving all doors open, lights lit, and the inevitable scattershot display of calling cards.
