Comically Bad Realtors

Most Realtors suck at their jobs. This is not even just an opinion, it's an objective reality. Some 88% or so flame out of the job within a year. In 2024, 47% failed to sell even 1 house. Obviously some are worse than others, but man, the Realtor in the photo below is comically bad. I'd love to hear some of your comically bad Realtor stories.

If the front door works - then technically it is turnkey.
