Should I break the news to my Realtor?

As you may or may not know, I am selling my condo in DC and am moving to Florida. My realtor is just awesome, and has been helping me get my stuff ready for sale.

Next week, starting Tuesday, a painter will come to paint my place. It will probably take him two days to do so, and I arranged to have him be able to park in the building. I wrote my realtor an email telling her this, and also letting her know that on Wednesday, the city will start shutting down because of the inauguration.

Here is the following email correspondence:


From: Me
To: Realtor

Also, Wednesday, it looks like they will start shutting down the city
rather early, so I'm not sure what the painter wants to do about that.

Thanks for arranging the parking. I will let him know. yes, it does sound like the republicans have seized the city. I rode by Hecht's at Chevy Chase tonight and was appalled to see huge pictures of George bush in the window. As much as I want to pretend that we are not in for 4 more years, I guess we are. I will let Pedro know that he might want to head out earlier on Weds.

I wonder if I should break the news to her. I voted for Bush, I support Bush, I'm a Republican. No real shocker there.

It's not like I am going to fire her, or break the listing agreement. I hired her to do a job, and she's doing an excellent one so far. I don't care about her politics. And I'm not offended by the email either. I'm not offended that she assumed that I was a liberal, and I wouldn't have been offended if she assumed if I were a Republican.

As long as she sells my condo, I'll be happy.

This is why it is NEVER a good idea to talk politics in the workplace. She obviously has no clue as to your political leanings, and she risked her current deal and potential future deals on the fact that you either agree with her, or that you wouldn't quash the deal over it. In this case, she got lucky, but you and I both know people who would haved ended it right there and then.
