I can almost guarantee that you have submitted your site to the wrong category, which will likely result in an almost indefinite delay in getting it reviewed (I have not looked at the submission pool where you submitted it).
Real estate sites are listed on the basis of where their office is located, nt on the basis of where they market, or hope to market, or pretend to market.
So, you should resubmit to the Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate subcategory of the specific locality where you have your office. You are also not going to get very much serious consideration from an editor until your office address is someplace easily found on your website. We usually look at the Contact and About pages. Real estate websites with no office location have a very hard time getting listed.
I will admit that the category description where you submitted lacks clarity, but simply having multistate listings is not the basis for being listed in that category. If you have multi-state offices, and the website documents that fact, I could be wrong and you could be right.
My advice: forget about the suggestion you already made and go ahead and resubmit to the appropriate real estate subcategory in the named locality where you have your office, then come back here in 30 days (please bookmark and resuse this thread) for a status check.
