The Truth Real Estate Agents Don’t Sugarcoat

The Truth Real Estate Agents Don’t Sugarcoat

Today we’re talking about my biggest real estate icks! The things I see all the time that quietly kill deals, cost money, and drive everyone a little crazy. From agents using cell phone photos on MLS to homes that aren’t cleaned, locked up, or properly maintained, these mistakes matter more than people realize. I break down why first impressions are everything, why basic maintenance is not the same as an upgrade, and how ignoring professional advice can get very expensive. We also talk buyer and agent etiquette, including showing issues, communication, and wasting other agents’ time. None of this is meant to shame, just real talk from years in the trenches. If you’re a buyer, seller, or agent, some of these will definitely hit close to home.
