Hey, I am in the beginning stages (like very beginning) of setting up a time with a broker to see an apartment I am interested in. We’re just messaging back and forth via FB Marketplace (where I found the listing). He asked the basic stuff - income, credit score, and who’s the apartment for. He then asked me to tell him what my occupation is, and I told him in a non descriptive way of what I do for a living (medical provider). He responded with…”Are you a nurse? A doctor? Any specific department you work in?”
I already told him the information he needed, which makes me a qualified tenant for the unit. AITAH for thinking it’s weird to press further for my exact occupation? He’d eventually find out through the application process, and I have omitted sharing it because I feel like brokers/real estate agents do discriminate/judge someone based on one’s source of income.
