Agents everywhere, but where are the buyers?

Yesterday, I met our mailman when he delivered a package.

“You moving?” he asked, squinting at the PODS container behind me.

“Yup.”

“I do real estate, too,” he replied nonchalantly.

Of course he does! It seems everyone and their brother is in real estate. More than one neighbor is. Even the train driver! Swing a stick and you’ll hit five real estate people.

And they all want to list the house. How come no one ever knows potential buyers?
