This episode might sting a little… but you’ll thank us later. In this no-BS conversation, we pull back the curtain on some of the most common (and costly) mistakes new real estate agents make , straight from over four decades of real-world experience and a serious business background . Spoiler alert: blindly copying what everyone else is doing is a fast track to mediocrity. We also take aim at one of the most head-scratching seller habits of the year — pulling listings off the market “until spring.” 🤦‍♂️ What’s the logic? Does it work? Or is it just seasonal superstition wrapped in wishful thinking? On the tech side, thermal imaging gets put to the test 🔥❄️. We break down what it actually reveals in homes — from in-floor heating issues and missing insulation to windows that were supposed to be filled but clearly weren’t. We also talk about how thermal images can and should be used in offers , and whether home inspectors are even using these tools… or avoiding them because they reveal a little too much. You’ll also hear practical, straight-talk advice on choosing the right lawyer and home inspector — and why leaning on your agent’s experience can save you time, money, and regret. And finally, a reality check for out-of-province buyers 👀: if you’ve been “watching it for a while,” maybe stop over-analysing from your couch. At some point, you need to get on a plane, see the property, and make decisions . Deals don’t happen through endless emails — they happen through action.
