Summary
๐ก Overpriced listings, showing overload, and the closing-day chaos nobody warns you about โ this episode of The Michael and Patty Show breaks down the real estate truths every buyer, seller, and agent on PEI needs to hear. ๐๏ธ If you've ever wondered why your home isn't selling, how many houses is too many to tour, or what "putting lipstick on a pig" really means in real estate, this one is for you. ๐ ๐ธ OVERPRICED & NOT LISTENING: We start with the hard truth no seller wants to hear. When a vendor ignores their agent's pricing advice and lists too high, no amount of fancy signs or weekend open houses is going to fix it. The market sets the price โ not wishful thinking.

(Spoiler: meet us in the basement for a nervous breakdown. ๐ ) We share exactly what we recommend to keep your home search focused, sane, and actually productive โ including a simple trick: compare house #1 to house #2, and delete one. Narrow it down or burn out trying. ๐ฅ ๐ FLOOR PLANS: A must-have or a waste of time? We dig into why floor plans aren't standard practice here on PEI โ and why we don't think they're a good idea in the first place. Our honest thoughts on what actually helps a listing versus what just adds noise. ๐ค ๐ PREPARING FOR A CLOSING โ THE VENDOR'S CHECKLIST: This is the meat of the episode and a must-listen if you're selling. We walk through everything a seller needs to handle before closing day so the deal doesn't fall apart at the finish line. That means: staying in full contract compliance, sorting out the lockbox and keys, and dealingโฆ
