'He lost a client here and made himself look like an idiot': Realtor shows friend 8 houses, accuses her of wasting his time when she wants to see more

Buying a home, if you're lucky enough to get to do it, is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever have to make. It's expensive for one (most probably the biggest purchase you'll ever make). It's where you'll lay your head every night, so you better like spending time there. And it comes with a pretty large amount of risk. If it ends up being a lemon, it might take years to financially recover. All to say, it's understandable that you would want to really consider your choices when you're looking for a home.

It's not quite as simple as it is on House Hunters, where they're shown three houses and one of them is the magic sweet spot of everything they're looking for. No, you might not always fall in love with the first couple of places you see. It might take a while, especially if you're not pressed for time.

Because you're in it together. You're on the same team ultimately, even if there are a few bumps on the way. But in this situation, mixing business with friendship led to some uncomfortable conversations. Read on for the story and see what you think.
