The 2024 national lawsuit against the real estate industry is resulting in the removal of a long standing benefit to our American Military Veterans. We find that appalling and discuss our immediate solution to this travesty in this episode. Professional representation has been available to all buyers for decades. It's been paid for by the listing brokerage and wrapped up in the cost of the home that a buyer was purchasing. That equates to the buyer actually paying for all of the commission in their mortgage or in cash when they bring the money to closing.

In this first episode of 2024, Steve Martin & Katrina Smith discuss some pros and cons of home staging options.

Real Estate professionals everywhere agree on the value of depersonalizing your property prior to listing it. Have you ever seen staged homes that obviously had the personality of the stager/decorator all over it? Can that actually be counter productive to the sale of your property?

What if a potential buyer or your listing agent need to move some of the furniture to show the potential buyer other layout options? Will that "staging company" allow you to do that?

These valuable insights and more are included in this episode of the Real Estate Agent Man podcast

Verse 1

Sunblock on my face and hands

The Back hurts when I get up or down

That won’t stop me - from living my plans

My brain thinks that I’m a younger man

Chorus

Yet I’m 60, I’d rather golf every day

60, and live the Florida way 60, I pay my HOA

My neighbors hang out at my place, but

My hot tub is my personal space oh yeah

Verse 2

I’ve got a - fishing boat and cool golf cart

Still love to rock - on my guitar

Well I was daddy and I dug that a lot

But Now I’m grandpa - and grandma’s so hot

Chorus

Yeah I’m 60, and my hairs gettin’ gray

60 but it’s - still fun to play 60 do you - get what I say?

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Well Sunblock is on my face and my hands

And Pickle ball is really outta sight

Past the middle, the middle of life

The dirts below me - I’m a happy man

OUTRO

60 and I like it Yea I like it Cuz you can Like it or lump it

Lump it or like it. 60, 60, 60. I’m 60 and I like it

Jenn comes through again with an excellent real life example of someone using the PACE program. The Florida PACE program is often suggested as a way to get much needed home improvements. As with most things in life, you don't know what you don't know.
