House Einstein

Buying and selling real estate often involves ethical gray areas, and small mistakes can carry serious consequences. In this episode, we focus on the ethics of negotiation, including contract errors, inspection missteps, and challenging situations involving sellers and buyers. We share cautionary tales from the field, review early year market data, discuss bidding wars and pending sales, and talk through what we’re seeing anecdotally in the market. We also touch on recent news and notable sales. This podcast is supported by the House Einstein real estate brokerage, founded and based in Boulder, Colorado. House Einstein’s mission is to help you make a smarter real estate decision.
