This episode of The Michael and Patty Show is packed with hands-on, real-world knowledge you won't find in a glossy listing or a quick online search. From crawling through unfinished basements to using artificial intelligence to settle a neighbour's property-line dispute, we pull back the curtain on what really happens behind the scenes in PEI real estate. 🌊 🔦 We open in the basement — one of the most overlooked yet revealing parts of any home. Learn what to look for in an unfinished basement: drywall showing wetness or mould, insulation gone black or the wrong type, and tell-tale mouse droppings that signal holes in the walls. We explain why wood touching a concrete floor (when it isn't pressure-treated) is a red flag, and why insulation at the end of your rafters is a major source of heat loss older homes never addressed. Ever wondered what a seasoned agent notices the moment they step downstairs? This is your masterclass. 🧱 🤖 Then we get practical with technology. We share how AI was used to track down a construction bin from Bin Depot — and even to help buy a vehicle — proving these tools aren't hype. We also nod to the Clause 101 course for agents sharpening their contract skills. 🚚 💧 Worried about moisture? We break down a simple, DIY way to tell whether there's a vapour barrier under the cement and behind a basement's walls. Tape a plastic sheet to the floor, leave it a week, blow a commercial fan on it, and watch what happens — or use a thermal camera gun for an instant read. It's a low-cost trick that can save you thousands. 🌡️ ⚖️ On the brokerage side, we tackle the thorny issue of lawyers representing both sides of a deal, and why one purchaser's agent seemed surprisingly casual about it. We also call out a head-s…","meta_description":"🏠 Buying or selling on Prince Edward Island?
