Fix It, Sell It As-Is, or Get Stuck in the Middle: A Seller's Guide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everybody tells you to fix up your house before you sell it, but nobody tells you what that's actually worth. And nobody tells you what skipping the work actually costs. In this video, we walk through a Zillow study that found a 17% price swing between homes listed as turnkey and homes listed as needing work, why there are two completely different buyer pools looking at your home, and why being stuck in the middle, doing some work but not all of it, is the worst position of all.

Story Time: A Closing That Nearly Called the Police (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today is story time again, and this one happened not too long ago. We were at a closing. Everything was going smoothly. Routine. Then they got to the seller's numbers, and it all fell apart. In this video, I tell the true story of a seller who signed a contract he never read, found out at the closing table that he'd agreed to $50,000 in closing costs, and what happened next, including the moment the attorneys were ready to call law enforcement. Watch our video before you sign anything.
The For-Sale-By-Owner Who Saved $10,000 and Lost $35,000 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today is story time, and this one is real. One of our agents was helping a buyer look at a for-sale-by-owner property. The seller had no representation. A family member grabbed the phone and said he knew everything there was to know about selling a home. In this video, I walk you through exactly what happened, how we did our job for our buyer, and the number at the end that shows what that 'saved commission' really cost. Watch our video before you even think about selling on your own.
Why This Housing Bill Hits Georgia Hardest (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you’ve ever lost a home to an all-cash offer from a company you’ve never heard of, a new federal law just changed the rules. Congress passed the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, and one provision in it was written with Georgia in mind, because our state leads the entire country in corporate-owned homes. In our latest video, we break down the provision that caps big investors at 350 homes, what it means for local buyers and sellers, and the things this bill doesn’t change. Watch to see how it
