Over Asking vs. Over Value! Wealth Building vs Wealth Protection! Why People Cannot Stand Agents!

So many agents and so many brokerages are deliberately manipulating the consumer by accidentally misleading with this messaging around OVER ASKING price, Todd and Ian break down why this doesn't work. When people start buying and selling houses somehow they lose their objectivity. They lose their full perspective of thought and they get really fixated on "We would love to live here!" Our strategy sessions help you slow down before you speed up and a lot of that slowing down needs to be to think about and factor in with wise counsel what are the wealth building or wealth protection aspects of buying or selling a home. Don't miss this important conversation! The reality is most people don't like agents because they've had bad experiences with agents because their agent was not an expert because the agent wanted the commission more than they were willing to commit to offering a tremendous amount of value and advocacy and protection. This is the opposite of what our team offers - call us - 214-216-2161 - we want to help you find the BEST time to buy FOR YOU!

If you want to get in on these - CALL US! 214-216-2161 - we want to help you reach your real estate goals! They hit on the phenomenon of short-term rentals, reflecting on their surge in popularity in 2020 and 2021, followed by increasing restrictions in many cities. They ponder whether short-term rentals remain a viable and strong investment option. One big topic they hit on is the current trend of decreasing interest rates, with a notable one-point drop. This prompts the question of whether it's the opportune time for listeners to consider refinancing or if waiting a bit longer might be more advantageous. The answer is a valuable one! We also conducted a survey on social media, revealing that 75% of respondents dream of owning a home on land. Todd, who specialize in this niche, express curiosity about the widespread desire for homes on land and the perceived challenges in achieving this dream. The episode concludes with a lighthearted discussion about the idea of buying a large piece of land with friends to create a compound with amenities like a pool and basketball court.
