First dates with real estate professionals involve listening to income stories that don't match the lifestyle they're trying to project.
They're talking about closing a few deals this year while driving a leased luxury car they can't afford and picking up tabs they shouldn't be paying. Commission-based income creates wild swings between feast and famine, but the pressure to look successful forces agents to fake it with debt. Smart real estate professionals live below their means during lean months, save commission checks instead of immediately upgrading their car, and build reserves for the inevitable dry spells between closings.
Dating someone in sales means understanding their income is unpredictable and their flexing might be financed at 18% APR.
