Realtor / Broker
As a 26 year veteran in real estate I have heard this podcast and I am disgusted with the person that hosts the show. It is incredibly annoying and I am in shock that the national Association of realtors would permit this "FAKENESS" Let alone not consider the horrible reviews. MINUS 5 stars
