Is it worth spending $2500 on a boundary/topography map in order to let the buyer know that they could potentially add a water view DADU onto an existing water view house? The ability to add a water view DADU (potentially two) is something I think is very unique about the house that I'm selling.

So, love your information but I have a question. I have 2 year old HVAC, reroofed 5 years ago, 1 yr old water heater, master bathtub and shower redone last year. Problem left is I’ve only replaced 2 of the 13 windows and the house is 30 years old. Where would my house category fall and can I sell without replacing the other windows? Oh and I replaced floors with LVP and bedrooms carpeted about 5 years ago. No Kitchen update but white bay cabinets still great, mainly counters not done and not granite…it’s the old stuff. I’m planning to sell in the next year. What would you recommend?

I'm househunting and every time I see LVP in a house over 600k, I gag and think I'm not paying for this. What are people thinking?

Hi , Do you recommend a realtor in Hudson beach , Florida area ?

Color Forms

So do you stage for the pictures or do you have to live with it staged for when they buyers come to the house???

In Austin tx. Tile floors are all over!

All the updated houses look the same! They use the cheapest of everything!! No thanks!

That happened when I went to buy a house. The seller agent didn't get back to my agent for over a week.

You have a lot of good info in your videos. On this subject, was can a buyer do in the listing agreement to be assured that a team will be available to work the sale?

I painted a room a light Grey and never liked it. After a couple of years I repainted an off white and love it. Grey makes me sad.

Hi. I enjoy watching your videos. I have a question about flooring. Over the years I have replaced flooring in different rooms. Now when I look at the overall picture I have 4 different floors as I could not finacially do all the rooms at the same time. I am thinking about moving, but I will be staying here for a while. My question is how can I make everything look more cohesive. I live in a side split so not all the floors are together. Thank you for any suggestions.

I have an engineered walnut wood floor that looks great. However, it scratches easily.

When you put out the video 4 months ago, I took a drink every time you said the price is too high. I just woke up.

What’s probably gonna happen: As always, brokers/agents will be cut throat to get the listing. Buyers agents will put the onus on their clients to pay them; they do now, especially if they bring them to a FSBO. Truthfully, I never understood the value of a buyers agent unless you are moving to a different area/state. Most of the time the buyers agent has to call the sellers agent to get answers, and the sellers agent has to call the owner.

My house has PINE floors!!! To make matters worse I live in Georgia. I have to sweep the floor, run the vacuum cleaner over the entire floor and then vacuum between each plank. NEVER BUT A HOUSE WITH PINE FLOORS!!! 😭 ***I have spent hours filling in the gaps and it just cracks and comes back out.

Absolutely got to get husband on board! He agrees!! But I staged our last home that we got a full price offer on, and he was shocked.

We are planning to sell in the next 4-6 months as soon as we finish getting our stuff packed cleared out and the house ready. We are in NJ. In December of last year, we got a loan mod on our mortgage and as part of the process, the bank had an appraisal done of our home and sent us a copy. The appraisal was for 1.1 M. The Zestimate currently shows as 1.15M. Would taking the average of the two figures be a good starting point when we discuss list price with our realtor? The bank's appraisal was exterior only. Our home has no deferred maintenance, the layout is open and standard for split-levels in our area, and the home is updated except for one bathroom which has old wall and floor tile. Yard is fine in the front but the back desperately needs landscaping. Thoughts?

Lmao what content is this…

Have a little pride in your chosen profession.

Painting of bathroom looks great!

No need,

I have to tell you Warrick dual agency happens all the time in our small village of Idyllwild CA. I see it all the time.

On this 6% question, you forgot that the Broker(s) also get part of that 6%. At least here in California 🤷‍♀️

I bought flooring for myself. Luxury carpet. It’s warm, quiet, dark so spills aren’t an issue and I probably won’t break a hip if I fall on it. It’s so comfortable on bad feet. I have no qualms about ripping it out when I move out and putting in something in style years from now. This house was not originally designed for heavy ceramic tile. I do agree that someone else’s carpet is something no one cares for.

What brand, color is that engineered hardwood floor in your home?

Do photos work as disclosures? Ie picture of ice dam on roof, but not putting that in werds on the SPD?

No one wants your stuff either...

Mechanicals refer to what?

I live in souther Arizona... tile all the way!

Thank you for this video. Where do you stand on wood parquet flooring? In New York, it is very common to have parquet squares on the floor. .

TILE IS EASY TO TAKE CARE OF.

LVP is tacky and I would NEVER use it….cork, rubber, wood, marmoleum only natural products long lasting repairable beautiful

I like to update myself just give buyer concessions. Because a buyer will still come in and update to there liken.

I take pictures of things, that we have valued, but don't necessarily want any more, and post them on our family chat. There are things that I am surprised someone wants. Other times, we may have held on to things to pass down, and no one wants it. If you are not using it, ask your kids, or those who would inherit, if they would want it. It will allow you to clear things out.

Too much talking!

I get that some would get a decorator, but not me. Never. They, just like the rest of the population, are a mixed bag. I know how to do research on my own. I'm not paying someone, who doesn't have my taste, to advise me.

Hi, I asked a question live, and I didn’t understand the answer. I’m not sure if my question was clear…to reframe: currently standard commission fees is 6% total sales price, with 3% going to both buy and seller agent. But what about reducing the buyer’s agent fee to 2%, which is only a 1% reduction from the amount? It’s not saying I refuse to pay any commission to the buyer’s agent, but that I am offering a 1% reduction, from 3% to 2% of sales price. Is this OK in the changes coming?

With regards to the commission, I think the frustration from a sellers standpoint is that we don't know what is fair compensation for the work both the seller and buyer agent do in order to get to closing. How is it that, assuming 6% commission, the fees would be $24,000 on a $400k house but $30,000 on a $500k house? The work is the same.

I’m so glad you said LVP next because I am in the process of finishing the upstairs of my house in it with the wide plank vinyl look and we love it and we don’t hear the dogs nails on the flooring either 😅

How do you react to notes from potential buyers during showings? For example, one potential buyer said they do not like the tree in the front yard or the color of the carpet in the basement?

Good overview and overall good advice-except the engineered floors. They don't wear well and after 10 years you are left with the decision to rip them out or attempt a very light refinishing job. I ripped mine out.

I have a dining room set that my son said he wanted. It is a family heirloom, gorgeous mahogany, 8 chairs, and in mint condition. Now that he has moved out and has a fiancé, they don’t want the table! lol!! I’m fine with that! I now purge things without even asking!

We paid ted ours bc we liked the look. Lived with wood cabinets for eight years. We are retired and this will be our last house.

I would've loved that she said something about those rudiculous overly streched pincures that aren't giving a realistic size of the room. That last one with a sofa "for 12 people" was too much. It is not realistic at all. When you see that you ve to try to imagine what is the real size of room.

Too much fluff. Get to the point.

R.A. needs to be aggressive to THEM...and consultant to ME ...the client.

Cabinets and counter tops. Granite is what we chose and a light brown oatmeal color as it was called. My wife liked the look, however I wanted to go with white Cabinets as well as a lighter color counter top. We plan on staying in the house so live and enjoy what you like. We did say we are nit going to play the lets chase the trendy game. We picked out whatcwe like, not what we think others may like or what is currently popular.

That tile looked really nice. I would have left it.

The real estate market is about ready to burst. Like in 2008, Hardwood is really nice, however put on slabs in Florida as well as humidity just makes it risky..we love our tile flooring that looks likes wood. It also works out well with having our dogs. Our beautiful tile is porcelain tile. Great quality. We kept every bedroom, 4 bedrooms with same floring.
