"Married to the Listing" (vs. . . .

"Dating," "Going Steady," & "Engaged"

If you're a homeowner whose house is on the market, here's a quick way to characterize your relationship with your (listing) agent:

Less than 3 months on the market: Dating
3-6 months on the market: Going Steady
6-12 months on the market: Engaged
Over 1 year on the market: Married

Unlike in real life, in real estate, there's no such thing as "happily married" clients and Realtors.

Instead, almost all such real estate "marriages" end in . . . divorce.
