Okay, so let me tell y'all about the time I went to show a home in Apple Valley. Now, everything seemed normal at first, but as soon as we reached the top of that hill...oh boy, did things get weird. We walked into this house, and immediately my spidey senses were tingling. And then it hit us - this place was creepy AF. From strange noises to everything painted white, to hidden sheds, it was like a scene straight out of a horror movie. But the real kicker? The pendulum in the yard. Needless to say, we were outta there faster than you can say 'real estate nightmare'. I mean come on, who needs a haunted house when you've got this place up for sale? And don't even get me started on the possibility of devil worship being involved...#NoThanks #NotTodaySatan #DefinitelyNotBuyingThisHouse" cue spooky background music

Hey y'all, it's your favorite TikTok comedian and resident real estate expert (yes, we do exist, contrary to popular belief) and I'm back with another podcast episode for ya. This one's gonna be a spicy one because we're talking about why our beloved industry kinda sucks. Yeah, I said it. 🤷‍♀️ Did you know that a whopping 80% of realtors are not experts? That means only 20% of us are actually doing all the business while the rest just sit around twiddling their thumbs. And don't even get me started on how easy it is to become a realtor. Seriously, the bar is set so low a limbo champion could pass with flying colors. But fear not, my dear viewers, because I am part of that elite 20%. 💪 I've got the knowledge, experience, and wit (of course) to help guide you through this crazy world of real estate. So if you want the inside scoop from an actual expert instead of just some licensed but clueless salesperson, hit that follow button and tune in to our podcast #5. Trust me, your sanity (and bank account) will thank you later. 😉

I did an open house this past weekend and was reminded why we do this job. A child reminded about the emotional side of this business.  The emotional side is more important than the numbers. 

Welcome to the wild, wild world of real estate! In this episode, we meet our hero - a seller who's in a bit of a pickle. His home is located in the not-so-great part of town, and let's just say it's seen better days. Squatters, drug dealers, destroyed property - you name it, this home has got it all. But never fear, because our seller has enlisted me, the master of real estate flips, to help him out. Unfortunately, even with my expertise, we can't seem to sell this disaster house with the current situation. That's where our creative solution comes in. In true partnership form (cue dramatic music), I offer to evict the troublesome tenants and remodel the home. And here's the kicker - I'll only do it if our hero shares in the profits! Talk about being a real partner in crime or should I say real estate? wink wink But let me tell you, things did not go smoothly. Turns out those pesky squatters were also drug dealers and using buckets as toilets (gross!). And for some reason, they wanted cash to leave but refused to do so on their own. insert eye roll One tenant even fought us and we had to take them to court! But wait, there's more - people stole building materials during the remodel and let's just say cleaning up after that garage full of animal waste was not exactly fun. Yet through all these obstacles (and probably some tears), we prevailed! We evicted those tenants and turned that disaster house into a dream home. Our hero was finally able to sell his investment property and make some serious moolah. So there you have it folks - sometimes being a real estate hero means facing squatters and drug dealers head-on. But with a little wit, sarcasm, and determination (and maybe some face masks), anything is possible. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more wild real estate adventures!

Client asked me why i picked this career cause I seem like a smart man.  She was suggesting I could do better.  Let me explain why I chose this career and how to tell the difference between a licensed Realtor and a Realtor who is an expert.

Corporate America wants YOU to believe that buying a house is the worst investment ever!  They couldn't be more wrong!  Buying a home is still one of the best ways to build wealth from nothing.  The principles are the same, even if the message has changed - don't fall for it folks!  #RealEstate #MoneyTalks #InvestmentGoals --

Yo fui su chofer mientras les enseNaba casas que querian comprar.

I've had 5 calls in the last few months alone from clients whose monthly payments range from a whopping $750-2300! With these payments so high, some have decided to sell their homes and use the equity towards their student loan. Has anyone else been in this situation? Selling wasn't always a great option - let me know if you need someone to talk it through with and explore your options!

Real estate is very expensive right now and rates are over 7% at the moment.  It has forced  lenders to get creative. 

I was showing a house to some clients and after 15 minutes, we made a terrifying discovery - what we thought was a dead body! We were shocked and frozen in fear. When reality finally set in, we screamed and ran out of the house as fast as we could. Never an experience I want to repeat again...

Los primeros compradores están comprando más del 50% de todas las casas en el 2014 era menos de 30% y ahi la historia era que los primeros compradores y ya no tenían poder en este mercado para comprar casas porque había muchos inversionistas y mucha gente comprando había mucha competencia pero porque los intereses están más altos porque ya no hay inversionistas en el mercado hay una oportunidad donde los primeros compradores hora puede comprar una casa. Para mí el mensaje aquí es muy simple uno se puede quejar los intereses están muy altos sabiendo que van a bajar uno puede todo usar esta oportunidad para comprar su casa y cuando bajen los intereses refinanciar. Cuál es usted? Yo le voy a decir una cosa en 23 años haciendo todo esto jamás había una persona que me ha dicho que la peor decisión que hice fue comprar mi casa es siempre la otra la peor decisión que hicieron fue no compraba casa hace años.

Al contrario de lo que puedas haber oído, el 50% de los compradores de vivienda lo son por primera vez. Ahora es un momento excelente para considerar la compra de una vivienda, ya que los tipos de interés siguen siendo altos y muchos compradores potenciales están listos para tener su propia propiedad. ¡Haga su investigación y póngase en el camino de ser dueño de su propia casa hoy!

The last few years, first time buyers have had it rough, due to the fact that they had a lot of competition to deal with when buying their first home. Between cash investors and buyers putting a large down payment it was extremely challenging for them. Well, they are now the ones taking advantage of this challenging market. A few years ago the accounting for less than 30% of home purchases, they now account for over 50% of home purchases. They see the opportunity…
