After what happened to DeeTee, just make sure your realtor doesn't develop a
"language barrier"

I admire anyone who has a second language, and English as a second language
isn't easy. But I've also had to deal with a few who only had a problem
with their English when it suited them.

One of my favorite people is a Sikh gentleman, the father of a client of
mine. His English is fair to good, but with a British/Punjabi accent. As
my hearing started to fade, he went to more trouble than anyone I know to
keep having conversations with me. And it wasn't easy for either of us. It
is nearly impossible to lip read someone who has a strong accent, and a
moustache and a beard.
