We dig into why floor plans aren't standard practice here on PEI β€” 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. πŸ€” πŸ”‘ PREPARING FOR A CLOSING β€” 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 dealing… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-michael-and-patty-real-estate-show-6692071/episodes/overpriced-not-listening-showing-overload-27-houses-why-floor-plans-don-t-work-on-pei-the-vendor-s-closing-day-checklist-the-backup-offer-myth-what-putting-lipstick-on-a-pig-really-means-in-real-estate/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/overpriced-not-listening-showing-overload-27-houses-why-floor-plans-don-t-work-on-pei-the-vendor-s-closing-day-checklist-the-backup-offer-myth-what-putting-lipstick-on-a-pig-really-means-in-real-estate.md` β€” Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
