What’s In a (Phone) Number? A Lot, Actually
For all I know, the Realtor in question sells a ton of real estate in some other area code.
Even if they don’t, there’s no shame in selling real estate part-time, until you become established (that’s what I did).
But, it may be relevant to prospective clients.
At least in the Twin Cities, if a Realtor’s cell phone doesn’t start with “612,” “952,” “763,” or “651,” it’s very likely that they’re: a) new to town; b) relatively new at real estate; or c) both.
P.S.: There can be a “right” and “wrong” area code when it comes to dating, too: once upon a time, when I was single living in New York, “212” for Manhattan was prestigious; the newly-created “646” and “718” . . . weren’t.
