 In this episode, we dive deep into the strategy, psychology, and marketing power behind open houses in real estate. We share our enthusiasm for open houses as a dual-purpose tool: promoting both the property and the agent.
 
We discuss leveraging open houses to:

  • Increase listing visibility
  • Attract buyer interest
  • Create urgency with other prospects
  • Impress sellers with proactive marketing

We also tackle the agent...

In today's episode, Matthew and Jill dive into the evolving expectations of real estate clients—where polish and presentation are valued over expertise—and how this impacts the agent-seller dynamic. The discussion shifts into a complex real-world scenario involving a property held in a trust, where communication breakdowns and misunderstandings about roles (trustee vs. beneficiary) lead to unexpected roadblocks.  Why does ...

Most people when they think of auctions only think of distressed or foreclosure auctions.  But selling a luxury home by auction can be an effective strategy.  If you can have multiple interested, buyers in the room together, you can really create a buzz and a bidding war.  

Join Staci, Jill and I as we discuss using auctions as a strategy to sell a home quickly, with limited contingencies and creatively by using an auction....

One important trait that a  good agent needs is a spine.  I cant stand when my agents say the other agent or a customer is putting pressure on them.

I say do not let anybody put pressure on you, you out pressure on them.

Do not let anybody make demands on you, you make demands on them.

You have to take control of the situation.

You have to be able to say NO!

When making a price drop on your listing, there is much more than just changing the price in the MLS.

In this episode I talk about taking a strategic approach to get the most bang for your buck (or your Seller’s buck) when lowering the price.

A listing agent should approach this as if it is a new listing.  And I discuss further in the show.

From reaching out to agents and buyers from previous showing, freshening  up the lis...

A Buyer called me asking about my listing.

He is asking about seller financing.
If he puts $50k down. Who would make the terms up? A lawyer?

Many times a seller can’t or won’t offer Seller financing and I explain more in this episode and answer the question regarding who makes up the terms.

I also explain what to do if The Seller would consider it.  Hint: It is just like any other contract except that The Seller  is als...

On today's episode of Real Estate Finder podcast, Staci asks Matthew "Is it possible to go old school on a transaction and sideline the technology for a buyer who isn't tech savvy?”

Everything in a transaction is streamlined to be so quick and easy via technology with Total Brokerage and electronic signature request and initials. How to incorporate a paper and pen customer into an electronic transaction can be tricky.

Recently at the walk through before a closing for one of Jill Glanzer’s Buyers, we discovered that the Seller failed to deliver the property in the condition that was agreed to in the contract and inspection addendum.

The contract was supposed to include all television sets, and according the the inspection report the Seller was supposed to replace all of the light bulbs that where out.  Usually not a big deal, but when th...

While not required by law, a Seller’s Disclosure is a good way for a Seller (and a Seller’s agent) to cover their ass.    Buyer’s agents should always ask for one in any offer they draft on behalf of their Buyers.    Listing agents should ask their Sellers to fill one out after they sign the listing agreement, while they are waiting for photos and preparing the listing for the MLS.    It does not matter if the seller ever ...

The biggest complaint that I hear about real estate agents from their customers is that the real estate agent has not been in touch with the customer for an extended period of time.    It is very important to follow up with your sellers, buyers and leads.  Do not let too much time pass without contacting them.     If you show one of your listings, understand that the seller got the house ready, and vacated to accommodate y...
