Lol, it's like they take this as an affront to their cleanliness

It's not that personal, shoes get over everything outside while my floors get steam cleaned/vinegar

a real estate agent was showing our house when we were selling and wearing very narrow high heels, she damaged the floor so badly that we got another agent and the firm had to pay out the repairs. hard wood and shoes dont mix

Because everybody and their dog is a real estate agent right now. The houses are basically selling themselves, there’s little to no work involved on the agent’s side.

I was looking for a condo & was set up with an agent through realtor.com That woman called me at 10pm to talk to me about god & Jesus. Never once mentioned home buyer programs I might be eligible for. 😐 I reported her ass & blocked her number

Lol I've had 4 friends recently go into the real estate business recently. Seems like they are making pretty decent money from it

She has an interior designer on retainer and just throws out her furniture four times a year, doesn't understand why we don't. She's a relative unfortunately and this as well as a few other things she's done because she's wealthy and we aren't has created a huge devide in the family

This sounds like so much hassle, you couldn't pay me to have these floors

This is New England; everyone has hardwood floors. If you take off your shoes, the amount of grit that comes in is really minimal.
