You: I have only one thing to say about the above statement. People do have a proclivity to judge others by themselves.
You don’t really need to hear about others through others ... people aren’t so hard to read ... . The “profession” of real estate is known for sleaziness - like prostitution.
Your quoted statement was not mine, but solely yours. And you are the one who is judging others by yourself.
By the way, what business are you in?
