Two Lisa’s and One Liz – all “recovering” lawyers turned Realtors – join Cynthia for a fun conversation about attorneys and real estate agents. A law background is helpful to residential Realtors, though many attorneys could benefit from experience in real estate. Former practicing attorneys Lisa Auer, Liz Branham and LIsa Riddle make a good case for exchanging a law career for a real estate career.

Highlights:

  • Are attorneys always the smartest people in the room?

  • What’s with all those letters after professionals’ names?

  • Jarndyce v Jarndyce and Dickens’ novel “Bleak House” about a probate case

  • LSATs, the bar exam and LexisNexis

  • Lawyers can represent themselves in a real estate transaction, yet the old adage applies: “He who represents himself has a fool for a client.”

  • Why working as a Realtor vs. working as a lawyer is so rewarding
