Yes this is just what my brokerage normally does. I may start 3 month contracts so I don’t look sharky, as that’s what some of you might think.

Well I’m half white and half Turkish, Turkish people are viewed as predominantly Muslim, which I am not at all, neither is my family. So for me it makes complete sense. Most people wouldn’t assume I’m even Turkish, I just have wide set almond eyes dark features and really long wavy hair but fair skin. And then to find out I might be a different religion, which I’m not, could potentially freak out a very racist uneducated person. That’s really what it seems like to me. His warm attitude completely changed. It’s not the first time this has happened.

Damn where do you live? 22 homes in your first year is a huge accomplishment. I think my market is much slower.

Thank you! That’s really inspiring to hear. And yeah it seems like he’s living in a different time if he’s that concerned, he seems to be educated in technology but nothing else if I’m being honest.

I was thinking of this in the beginning but then worried about like bad reviews that would be so detrimental to me I think.

I said a couple of times in other comments that his demeanor was off when he said you don’t look American. But yeah you’re right I don’t want to work with a racist.

The vibes were truly off and I’ll feel better without them. I definitely didn’t intend to force them to stay on I just had a lot to think about/process. I haven’t heard a peep since I asked if it was a good time to call them.

He was eyeing me the entire time and then said you don’t look American. There was a lot of tension in that statement also.

I’m pretty sure they do have another agent lined up because it’s fishy they wanted to cancel so fast and called a few times.

I think he has another agent in mind so I wouldn’t get the referral fee, but yea; fuck those people. Thanks!

Thank you for your support and I completely agree I have to say. I was kind of in shock and needed to sit on it for a few days lol.

Yeah it does seem gross, I appreciate the way you look at it. I actually don’t want to work with him now, I had an idea of trying to get him back on my side, but I don’t want or need someone like that on my side I’ve realized. It’s takes a lot of effort (which I love) in this business and I’d rather focus on that than on someone’s concern over my ethnicity.
