๐Ÿ”ฅ 15 Types of Real Estate Clients You’ll Definitely Meet! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

If you’re a real estate agent—whether you’re selling or renting properties—you’ve probably encountered all kinds of clients. Every month brings in a wild mix of personalities.
But if you look closely, you can actually group most of them into these 15 types:

.

1. The Window Shopper ๐Ÿง

โœ… Views every house in every project... still lives with mom
โœ… Wants to see 10 homes "just to compare"... not planning to buy yet
โœ… “Just looking for now, waiting for my inheritance to come through.”

.

2. The Complainer (But Still Wants It) ๐Ÿคจ

โœ… “How can this house even sell?” (but tours for an hour)
โœ… “This price? Are you serious? Can I get 50% off?”
โœ… “The view sucks... but I like it.”

.

3. The Proxy Viewer ๐Ÿคท‍โ™‚๏ธ

โœ… “I’m viewing it for my brother. He’s driving here now.” (Spoiler: he never comes)
โœ… “I’ll have to discuss with my family first.” (Family = partner who always says “not yet”)
โœ… “My mom’s still abroad. She’ll decide when she’s back.”

.

4. The Deal Hunter ๐Ÿ’ฐ

โœ… “What promotions do you have?”
โœ… “Can I get free down payment? Free aircon? Free furniture? Free water & electricity? No common fee for 10 years?”
โœ… “If I book today, what do I get? iPhone, maybe?”

.

5. The Inquisitor ๐Ÿ“

โœ… “Are the walls soundproof?”
โœ… “How loud is the dog across the street?”
โœ… “What does the neighbor do for a living?”
โœ… “Does this area flood? How deep? Like... can a marathon runner wade through it?”

.

6. The “Not Ready, Just Looking” Type ๐Ÿ˜Ž

โœ… “I’m interested, just need time to build myself up.”
โœ… “Not ready yet... but if I win the lottery, I’m buying for sure!”
โœ… “Just exploring... maybe for the future.”

.

7. The “No Reading, Please Explain” Client ๐Ÿ“œ

โœ… “What does this contract say? I got dizzy reading it. Can you just tell me?”
โœ… “What are the fees?” (You explain 3 times, still asks again)
โœ… “When can I refinance?... Wait, what’s refinance again?”

.

8. The DIY Inspector ๐Ÿ”Ž

โœ… “What brand is the tile? What glue? What angle was it laid at?”
โœ… “Why place the septic tank in front? Should’ve gone behind.”
โœ… “If we install the aircon here, will it make the light flicker?”

9. The Feng Shui Follower ๐Ÿ”ฎ

โœ… “My fortune teller said the house must face north.”
โœ… “Where does the bathroom face? Is the master bedroom in the dragon zone?”

โœ… “I need a house that just clicks with me.”
โœ… “It has to feel right. Like... it just speaks to me.”

11. The “Loved It! I’ll Call You!” Then Disappears ๐Ÿƒ‍โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ

โœ… Super excited during the tour, full of emotion
โœ… “THIS is the house I’ve been searching for!”
โœ… “Let me think about it... I’ll get back to you.” Never does.

.

12. The Ghost Reader ๐Ÿ‘€

โœ… You send them the latest promo... read, no reply
โœ… You ask if they’re still interested... read, silence
โœ… “What day works for another viewing?” (Read at 10:00 AM... reply in 3 years)

13. The Social Media Star ๐Ÿ“ฑโœจ

โœ… Doesn’t pick up your calls (after 3 tries)
โœ… Meanwhile on Facebook: “๐Ÿ“ Check-in: Cozy Café”
โœ… Story every 5 mins: “Happy Sunday!” ๐ŸŒž

.

14. The Vanishing Depositor ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’€

โœ… Says they’ll transfer the booking fee... asks for account number
โœ… Chat turns into a ghost town
โœ… After 3 days: “Have you transferred?”
