Ann is a beautiful, 40-something who has never married or raised a child - what do you make of this?

Perhaps Ann is the female equivalent to Billy Joel's Paul, the real estate novelist, who "never had time for a wife."

Now Paul is a real estate novelist / Who never had time for a wife / And he's talking with Davy, who's still in the Navy / And probably will be for life

What does "real estate novelist" mean?
