The real estate agent's role is far more personal than many outsiders realize. We're not just selling houses; we're often guiding people through some of the biggest financial and emotional decisions of their lives. There are divorces, new beginnings, deaths, and life changes that all funnel through the process of buying or selling a home. It requires a significant amount of empathy, active listening, and often, a steady hand to help clients navigate their own anxieties and hopes. In this pod, we’ll discuss a number of situations that may surprise you. We’ll also walk you through current market conditions and discuss notable recent sales.
