Almost named him Victor, which wouldn’t have worked out that well with the initials 😬 Good catch, dada @paulpgp #parentfailavoided Thank you everyone for the kind words! ❤️

Thank you to @DarianWoods and @theindicator for inviting me to talk about my paper with @paulgp ! There are too many real estate agents. If you hire one, find yourself a great one like Kaye Thompson.

The number of real estate agents shot up 7% over the last year. As housing inventory crashes, there are now more real estate agents than actual houses for sale in the US. Economist @sgil1122 says this could be a problem.
