Your barista knows the order.

I end up knowing which street 

The list of people who know the real version of you is short.


Your barista knows the order. Your bartender knows what kind of week it has been. Your hairdresser knows the thing you have not said out loud to anyone else.


And somewhere around month two of a house search, your agent quietly joins that list. I end up knowing which street you drive down on purpose on the way home, which compromise you are pretending you are fine with, and the number that makes your stomach drop. That is not oversharing. That is the job. Nobody finds the right house in Roseville for someone while only knowing the polite version of what they want.


So if you are still in the polite-version stage, send me a message and we can skip ahead to the real list.
