Drones, Discounts & Drama: Real Estate Truth Bombs

🛩️ DRONES & DECEPTION Michael shares his aerial photo journey, from his first drone flights back in 2013 (including a REM magazine cover) to tens of thousands of shots taken from a Cessna. But here's the kicker—more isn’t always better. Sometimes, one killer photo does more than 50 mediocre ones. So why are so many listings still botched with bad imagery?

📉 PRICE SHOPPERS & GHOSTS How does it feel when someone emails asking about commission rates but doesn’t even leave a phone number? Like a slab of beef being auctioned off. We tackle why treating your agent like a bargain-bin product leads to poor results—and why a strong negotiator earns their keep and then some.

📄 WHAT’S IN THAT PCDS? We touch on the serious implications of the Property Condition Disclosure Statement—what it means, what it doesn’t, and why you better read the fine print.

📉 SELLERS WHO WANT PRICE CUTS Patty shares a textbook-perfect moment: how she handled a seller who wanted a price drop by diving into comps, feedback, and smart strategy—not just slashing numbers to chase a sale.

✅ FACT CHECKER, APPOINTED Say hello to Trisha Campbell, our official fact-checker. Because yes, even REALTORS® can get things wrong. But not on our watch.

🌊 STAGE YOUR POOL LIKE A PRO Got a hot tub, pool, or backyard paradise? Stage it like a magazine cover with toys, chairs, barbecues, and ambiance. It sells the lifestyle, not just the square footage.

📸 PROFILE PIC AGING LIKE MILK? How long is too long to hang onto that decade-old glamour shot on your business card? We’ve got opinions. Oh yes, we do.

⚖️ “LET THE LAWYERS HANDLE IT” When agents punt problems to lawyers because they’re out of their depth—it’s a red flag. We discuss why real estate training matters and when passing the buck becomes a liability.

🏠 LANDLORD VS. TENANT RIGHTS: PEI VS. NS How does being a landlord—or tenant—differ in Prince Edward Island compared to Nova Scotia? It's not the same rulebook, and you'd better know which game you're playing.
