    I don’t think I’ve seen a more blatant example of main character syndrome than seeing real estate agents putting themselves into videos showing the house they’re selling.

    And I don’t mean talking about the house. They’re in the video sitting on the couch or opening the door to enter with all this dramatic music playing, or staring out from the balcony all reflective and stuff.

    Good lord.

      They know they add no actual value to the house, so they need validate themselves by adding perceived value.

        I’ll have to see if I can find it but I remember seeing one near my place where the person (not sure if agent or owner) was sitting in the bath tub, topless on the bed (facing away). Absolutely bizarre behaviour

      “Hey look how nice I dress and my expensive haircut and shoes! That’s how you know it’s a good idea to buy a house from me!” - real estate agents, probably

      For some reason we don’t see those big signs with pics of the agents anymore. 🤷‍♀️
