^^^ the funneh! and the troo.
Clients do absolutely ask about what things cost, and having had some experience with many types of home remodeling (hands-on and contracted) I have a general idea, but am always careful to discuss things in terms of a range of pricing as opposed to a solid number, and couched with disclaimers. Pretty much always in the ballpark.
I think clients expect us to have some idea, but if only the 10% are knowledgeable and realistic that would indeed suck for most clients.

Seems like the part time job of choice for middle aged women.

I have great respect for great lawyers and great RE agents. Sometimes you feel bad for the people who hire these clowns. I don't go near SFH except for immediate family cause it's a shit show dealing with washed out used car salesman.
I was house shopping in 2013.
One agent tossed my offer in trash and didn't show to client. She told other brokers, who know me, I wasn't a good fit for neighborhood. She was looking for a buyer who would tear down and spend 7 figures because existing 5k sq ft house was ugly.
Another local broker ignores calls/emails from other brokers because he always wants both sides of deal. Breach of fiduciary right there...
I offered $1,000 below actual sales price on another property and broker didn't even respond to offer, sold couple weeks later.
I did learn that you just need to stoop to their level. In SFH market, I always offer buyer commission to listing agent... Like crack, they can't resist.
