Don’t make the biggest mistake people make first.

Save this

if you’re house hunting from out of state, and

send it to someone planning a move.
  • Local knowledge matters more than pretty photos, especially in places like the coast.
  • Research the community before you fall in love with the house.
  • Ask about flood zones, insurance, schools, taxes, and timelines before you commit.
  • Never buy sight unseen if you can help it—that one decision can get expensive fast.

The right realtor doesn’t just show homes—they help you avoid the things you didn’t know to ask.

Caption

Thinking about selling your home by owner to “save” on commission?
That decision can cost you more than you think.

Comment “FSBO” if you’ve ever considered doing it yourself.
  • Pricing it wrong can leave money on the table fast.
  • Hidden costs, loan rules, showings, and deadlines can wreck a deal.
  • A good realtor isn’t just a list price - they protect your time, your money, and your contract.

The biggest mistake people make is only looking at commission and ignoring what a home sitting longer actually costs them.Mortgage payments. Interest. Utilities. Lost deposits. Stress.If you’re selling, you want someone negotiating for you - not guessing with you.Worth thinking about before you put that sign in the yard.👉 Full conversation on the podcast

Drop a 🔥 if you think fixing housing is about more than just grants and GPA standards!
Here's the scoop: this bill is a major milestone — thanks to the Realtors and lawmakers who fought for it. It loosens restrictions on FHA loans and makes manufactured housing more accessible. Sounds good, right? But before you pop champagne, remember: local fees and taxes will still eat up affordability.
And here's a wild thought—what if we just eliminated capital gains tax altogether? 🚀 Imagine more homes on the market, less fear for sellers, and more affordable housing for everyone. It’s the real game changer, yet nobody’s talking about it enough.
Maybe it’s time NAR focused on what really moves the needle. Until then, what’s your take—hot or not?
