I expected it last weekend w/ holiday travel and usually it goes up by a few cents to $.10 at max gradually. I was just surprised that it went up $.25 overnight.

Being a realtor is not what I expected! I was so excited when I joined being younger, but nowadays it's all work and too little time off. It's a bit frustrating because I'm not sure where to go from here. I've been doing this for 5 years now. Any help on what choice to make? I do not have a backup plan.

Here’s a question that’s top of mind:

How many folks here work on their own inhouse with the support only of an agency versus having a team around them. Trying to figure out the right fit to grow what we’re doing, but not sure how much I really need internally with an agency (maybe at least one person so I can relax on my PTO). Thanks gang

Who here has a manager that they have to “talk back from the ledge”? manager shares unfiltered, unstructured thoughts about how to do things, and instructs you to execute these half baked ideas and you have to talk them out of it, because those ideas will appear poorly-planned, if you do execute them. It is as much about saving your own credibility as it is about saving your manager’s credibility, but because they are argumentative, it is difficult to convince them otherwise.
