DOGE cut park staff from 200 to 20, so now they have to spend millions on park cleanup and maintenance instead of thousands. And, Republicans and Trump screwed up DCs budget intentionally, so they can't make up for it with DC resources.

It's not completely fair, but between Witkoff, Trump, and the January 6 realtors, real-estate people could be the dumbest identifiable group of people that make good money in the country.

Realtors are overpaid tour guides.

Without question, and it didn't start with these buffoons.  There is no other industry where the barrier to entry ratio between intelligence and income potential is wider.  Financial planners/insurance salesmen are close, but real estate professionals (whether developers, realtors, etc.) take the cake.  If you're a dumbass with loose ethics and you like money, it's right there waiting for you.

Well, it's sales, where connections and "personality" can go a longer way than sheer smarts.  And it is inherently a big ticket item, because that's where it's at with sales.

But it doesn't take much real understanding of the product, unlike a lot of other big-ticket sales jobs.

And commercial real estate and development can involve some intelligence and skill, but certainly doesn't have to, just the ability to talk bankers or others out of their money.

Most realtors I know are people who want to be entrepreneurs but don't have much to bring to the entrepreneurial table other than a desire to be entrepreneurs.

No doubt there are intelligent people involved.  It's just not a requirement.  No judgment from me, either.  I sometimes look back at the hard work of obtaining an education and the endless hours put into carving out what has been a successful legal career, and think, "I should have gone into real estate."

Statistics are tough because of the number of people who are realtors as a hobby, side gig, or intentional part time work, but the majority of realtors don’t make big money. 
 

 

Not just a majority.  The VAST majority.  Both of my parents sold real estate for a good chunk of their adult lives, particularly my mom.  The turnover among agents at her office(s) was off the chart even back in the 90s.

There's a woman on my street who is a realtor.  I've known her 14 years and she's selling 2-3 houses a year.  Her husband makes ok money and covers the bills.  He's admitted to me that he's A-OK with it because it gives her something to do and put of his hair.  She's dumber than a box of rocks.

It’s a hobby that beats Mary Kay or whatever that puts you on the hook for products you dont sell. She ain’t on the hook for a house that doesn’t sell fast enough
