On this episode of The Michael and Patty Show, we pull back the curtain on the uncomfortable truths most agents won't say out loud — and PEI buyers and sellers need to hear. 🔑 From offers written through the listing agent, to water and septic surprises that can sink a sale, this one is packed with hard-won insight for anyone buying, selling, or dreaming about a move to Prince Edward Island. 🌊 💼 We open with an honest confession: writing an offer through the listing agent because a deal seemed \"too small.\" It's a candid look at how agents can get boxed into the high-end, waterfront, too-busy-for-small-deals mindset — and why that mindset fails everyday clients. ⚖️ Then we tackle something the industry rarely admits: agents representing buyers and sellers in markets they know nothing about. We dig into Article 12 of the CREA REALTOR Code, which requires skilled and conscientious service that meets the standards of competence reasonably expected in the specific market you're working in. CREA is blunt about it — no client is served well by an agent operating in an area they aren't familiar with. If you're working outside your knowledge zone, that's a real concern, not a minor footnote. 🧭 📐 Next, we get into the murky world of moving property lines around for IRAC — what it means for your title, your boundaries, and your peace of mind. Then Patty walks through weird water and septic line sources and configurations that catch owners completely off guard. 💧 A new water and septic installation in the city can run $13,000 to $20,000 or more to fix, and these issues can make it tough for purchasers to get a mortgage — or for owners to access financing for renovations. It's the kind of hidden problem that turns a d…","meta_description":"🏡 Ever felt like your real estate deal was \"too small\" to matter?
