What You’re Not Thinking About When Buying or Selling a Home

When people buy or sell a home, they usually focus on price, interest rates, and timing. But the biggest regrets in real estate almost never come from those things. In this episode of RE radar, I break down the overlooked details most buyers and sellers don’t think about — the small assumptions that can turn into big problems later. We talk about: Location issues you won’t see on a listing Noise, activity, and things homeowners get used to — but buyers don’t The reality of buying or selling a home with a tenant (especially in places like Seattle) Why real estate timelines take longer than people expect The important stuff inspections don’t tell you This episode isn’t about fear or overthinking. It’s about asking better questions before you commit. If you’re planning to buy, sell, or invest in real estate — or you just want to avoid the common mistakes — this is an episode you’ll want to hear.
