Persistent Real Estate Agent Crosses Boundaries: Homeowner's Dilemma

A reader seeks advice on dealing with a real estate agent who continues to contact them after closing multiple deals, despite declining invitations and expressing their disinterest. The reader is advised to keep a log of the agent's contact, block her on their phones, and consider contacting her prestigious real estate company if the behavior persists. In another question, parents wonder if they should give their oldest son the same cash gift they gave their youngest son for a down payment on a home, even though it's uncertain if he will ever buy a house. The advice is to offer the same amount if they can afford it, recognizing that homeownership may not be a priority for everyone. Lastly, a reader suggests using earbuds as a solution for a neighbor who plays loud music while working in their garage.
