I finally got around to updating my wife’s Google business listing this weekend, which has now been converted to the new/modern management center.
In the process of updating, Google wanted me to change categories … but I couldn’t choose “Real Estate Agent,” which is what she is, and what people in her line of work have been called forever. But no, not an option.
Instead, I had to go with the next closest thing: Real Estate Consultant.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard that phrase to describe this group of professionals. And I’ve been around them my whole life — my dad and sister are/were also real estate agents.
Very frustrating, Google. Very frustrating.
