Crazy Sh*t In Real Estate with Leigh Brown - Episode #111 with Linda Devlieg

Dog? What dog? When Linda Devlieg, realtor of 25 years and ex-dog
groomer, tells you to pay attention to a “Beware of Dog” sign,
LISTEN! Tune in as Linda tells us about how she singlehandedly
stopped two attacking dogs, how her clients ran off when they saw
a bull snake sunning on a porch, and – if you haven’t noticed yet
– how real estate is nothing like what you see on TV. Linda also
sheds some light on how patriotic the job of a realtor really is
and encourages us to do our homework to learn why.
