The AJ Team Realty Podcast

Should you put both names on a home loan? Most couples do it without thinking, but it could actually hold you back from building wealth. We'll break down why we keep most of our properties in just one name and how that helped us take advantage of opportunities when the market pulled back. You'll learn the difference between being on the loan vs. the deed and why managing your debt load separately gives you more room to grow. Watch our video to see how this one simple strategy changed the way we invest in real estate.

What would you do if the people you trusted to guide you through buying a home didn’t show up or didn’t take you seriously? That happens more often than people think, and it’s exactly what AJ ran into when he bought his first home about 25 years ago. Today, we're sharing the story behind how AJ got started in real estate, and why that experience pushed him to get licensed and do things differently. You’ll also see how our parents’ real estate decisions helped pay for college and set us up to buy our first home. Get the full story in our latest video.

What if a beautiful house for sale is…haunted? We wanted to share an unbelievable story of what could be our craziest sale ever! When the seller’s wife heard the piano playing on its own, she refused to stay in the house.

If you’re thinking about buying a new construction home, you need to know this before you step into the builder’s sales office. A lot of buyers assume the price is set, so they stop negotiating and end up overpaying in ways they don’t see until closing. Today, we’re breaking down where the real wiggle room is, like lot premiums, upgrade packages, rate buydowns, and closing cost credits, so you know what to ask for. We’ll also show you why knowing your numbers before you tour the model home gives you leverage, and why you should secure the structure first before chasing extras.
