Entitled realtor?

Why, yes, she is.

A few winters ago, my neighbours moved rather suddenly before they sold their house.

This left their house empty and they worried about it looking empty,

so they asked if I could go over once in a while and turn on lights,

I had no problem doing this, as they'd been great neighbours and I was sad to see them go.

That same winter, I had a toddler, a baby, and I was pretty decently pregnant, around seven months along.

My husband also worked a lot out of town, so about two weeks out of the month, I was on my own with my brood.

So my ex-neighbor must have let their realtor know that I was helping by turning lights on

and off and shoveling the front walk if it needed it. The realtor showed up, I'll call her Ronnie,

and introduces herself and thanks me for my help. Great. She must have also got on my number from my ex-neighbor

turn on the requested lights. She

texted me later saying she was disappointed at how dusty the house was. I ignored that as I

didn't give a hot dang what she thought. Then the request became an everyday thing. She basically

wanted me to set the house up every time she had a showing. I had my kids and was very pregnant with a high risk pregnancy.
