The Real Estate Podcast

We don't intend for this title to get you to listen to the entire podcast just to hear the most amazing tip for Landlords... it is literally right at the end. If that's why you're listening, skip to the end. If you want to listen to our soothing voices about some great topics, start from the beginning.

Are you one to buy first, research second or research first and then buy? When it's time to buy a big-ticket item, like purchasing new appliances, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement (is it sad that we get excited about these things) and buy quickly before knowing what all of your options are. Today we talk about different features to consider when buying appliances, making sure you showc...

When your real estate agents reveals information to the other side of the transaction, it's going to be used against you!

In 2017,...

Builder-closets are the most unfunctional, waste of space... period. Most are overflowing with clutter covering the floor and shelf, racks jam-packed and more. An overflowing closet tells prospective buyers that the house is lacking available storage space and it causes stress in your day-to-day living. The solution?? Custom closets! Today we chat with Shaun of Closet Envy in Burlington about how...

Did you price too low or was it perfectly priced? Did you leave money on the table or did you get more than you should have? When our clients sell their property quickly, these are common thoughts and questions, understandably! Today we chat about this as well as some other real estate stuff that drives us crazy... should His and Her closets be named something else? Help us out here ... **********...

Consistency, persistence and patience are key in being successful in your real estate business, or any business for that matter. Decide how you want to grow... social media, traditional ads, regular podcasts, videos, VLOGS, WHATEVER you choose, stick with it, be consistent and the results will come. It can easily take 12 months or more before being able to see the results of your efforts. Changing...

After years of selling houses, we've compiled a list of the things that most often turn our buyers off of buying a house. It's UNBELIEVABLE how preventable these things are. Now, if you're selling your house and you don't particularly care about how fast you sell or how much money you get because you're already sleeping in piles of cash, ignore these things; BUT, if you want to sell for more money...

These things apply whether you're selling real estate or finding a new tenant for your investment property. From gut feeling, the accuracy of p...

With the release of the new Apple iPhone there are ZERO excuses for Realtors to be posting bad photos ... have you seen the new camera? The Fall season is upon us and we are busy, in fact, August was our busiest August EVER. What goes into being busy?

Can You Fire Your Realtor? At the end of the day, whether buying or selling, you're signing a legally binding contract. One that binds you to fulfill certain obligations as well as the Brokerage representing you. Getting out of a contract is not as easy as you may think. If both parties do not see eye-to-eye, you will find yourself in a frustrating predicament! In our opinion, it very seldom makes...

Realtors Stop Manipulating The Market!

How To Stay Safe As A Realtor, Properly Formated Listings & Area 51 (They Cant Stop All Of Us)

The square footage of a property is held on a pedestal among buyers, a pedestal that it often doesn't deserve! The square footage is often wrong, includes areas it should not or could be extremely functional in one house and completely useless in another. When shopping for a house, always take the square footage with a grain of salt. When selling your house, do not include finished space below gra...
