What Realtors Actually Do All Day (And Why It's Not Just Showings) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
People love to say realtors have flexible schedules. What that really means is we work 24/7.

Second, the search: avoiding the "Zillow trap," sending listings to your agent, and reading comps before falling for a place.
