I tried working with a realestate agent who was a crakkka in it’s final form that whined about other people being lazy, odd because nobody brought up that topic, then when it was time to show me the house, she was awkwardly reluctant to do the normal house showing. We got a real sense of not-being-taken-seriously by this person, who we explicitly knew was aware of the importance of not being the last person to put an offer on the house.

This is the time when the market was generally already bad for buyers, but summer was around the corner so every day delayed brought us closer to peak worst-market-and-worst-time-of-year-for-buyers. I went with the first non-crakkka realestate agent who was willing to do the bare minimum, show us the house, which ended up being the first random person we tried, and we went ahead and bought the house.

I remember what almost nothing I’ve been told about the Berlin Wall, pretty much nothing aside from “communism bad”, and this image looks like the narrative I’ve been told has some plotholes that really need to be explained.
