I am drafting a speech and looking for a funny, short real estate joke to catch the audience right at the start. Does anyone have a good Real Estate joke? (audience of commercial brokers)

Q: How many estate agents does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: None! “The lightbulb is in excellent working order and comprised of a beautiful retro teardrop illuminator, offering original glass and metal features and located very centrally in the middle of the room. Local amenities abound and the property is serviced by a newly refurbished power cord connecting it to the ceiling. Nearby is a tasteful power switch to enable the purchaser to switch it on and off. Leasehold with share of power supply with lovingly improved wattage by the current owners. Would suit a professional couple or family looking for more light.”

One agent asks another "I'm thinking about going to work for a different broker, how many work at your brokerage? About half"

Joke writing is a hugely underappreciated art. A lot of what makes a joke funny is how you deliver it, your tone of voice, etc. This is part of what makes standup comedy a slightly different skill set than just writing them out because, in the written word, you don't have the benefit of hearing the tone of voice, facial expressions, or anything else about the delivery.
So, you can make a lot of things funny, especially in a sarcastic way, if you focus not just on the words but on how you deliver them.
