From hidden buying opportunities to legal pitfalls and market truths, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what really happens behind the scenes in PEI real estate. Discover why some properties that look like cottages might actually be your smartest path into a year-round home — even though they may never appear in a traditional MLS® house search. 🌊 Learn how environmental buffer zones and inaccessible shoreline areas can dramatically change what you can actually use or enjoy on a property, especially along PEI’s famous tall banks and beaches. We also tackle critical rules around showings and why buyers should never be left touring properties without a licensed agent present — plus the risks when sellers allow it. ⚖️ On the investment side, major renovations can cross an unexpected line where you may be treated as a commercial developer, triggering HST implications and higher taxation that many owners never see coming.
