Why don’t you just pretend to be a real estate agent sounds like it might be easier. I presume you are in a much higher status part of real estate.

When I say I’m government lawyer, everyone is like “Oh so you’re a prosecutor.” Then I explain that I do civil work and they can’t wrap their head around it.
