In this episode, we break down one of real estate's most timeless rules and explain why the ugliest house or cottage in the very best location is often the smartest money you'll ever spend. πŸ“ If you've ever wondered how the pros actually think about value, pricing, and PEI property, this is one conversation you won't want to miss. πŸ’° We open with a message every young buyer needs to hear: if you're young and you have the money to buy a house, do not let your friends talk you out of it.

We use it to talk about something every seller should know β€” the real job of a listing agent. When you take a listing, your job is to get the vendor the most amount of money, not to negotiate the asking price down. You're being paid a commission to represent the seller's side and protect their price, not to do the buyer's job for… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-michael-and-patty-real-estate-show-6692071/episodes/buy-the-worst-house-in-the-best-location-why-a-listing-agent-s-job-is-to-get-top-dollar-not-talk-the-price-down-when-a-buyer-s-budget-isn-t-real-too-much-signage-content-5-common-property-title-issues-charlottetown-squar/transcription-requests` β€” Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-michael-and-patty-real-estate-show-6692071/buy-the-worst-house-in-the-best-location-why-a-listing-agent-s-job-is-to-get-top-dollar-not-talk-the-price-down-when-a-buyer-s-budget-isn-t-real-too-much-signage-content-5-common-property-title-issues-charlottetown-squar.md` β€” Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
