I wanted to bring in an extra inspector for the HVAC system and my agent said no because it made her uncomfortable to ask. It possibly needed replacement and I wanted a price but can't get one without a quote, etc. We backed out of the deal. It's nice to know I have every right to bring in extra inspectors, decorators, contractors, etc.

One of the disadvantages of having a lockbox is that too many realtors assume that they don't need to phone ahead to say they're coming. One day, I stepped out of the bathroom to find a stranger standing in my house. He was a realtor who decided that he'd just pop in to "inspect" the house before he brought over any clients. The point of the lockbox was that the house was available for showings even if we were out, but we appreciate the courtesty of a call ahead to say that someone is coming.

I am about to sell my beautiful home in a few months and I’m already emotional. I am frightened of how the buyers will take advantage of me. I am scared my realtor will not protect me in negotiations. Ughhhhhhh! The process of moving alone is worse than divorce and a major mental breakdown!

If your agent is not as professional as Audra, find a new agent.

I've moved 48 times! This is one of the best instructional vids I've seen about the process!! Thank you.

My horror story: My real estate agent unknown to me let the buyer have access to begin laying new flooring! Then before closing the buyers lawyer claimed that I didn't have clear title to my condo. I eventually straightened things out with my deceased husband's adult children from a previous marriage, but the closing was delayed. During the delay, the buyer started threatening to SUE ME if the sale didn't go thru!!! He was going to sue me for his expense for laying flooring in a condo he didn't own yet. Crazy.

In this market, as a seller, I won't budge a penny on the price or entertain any repairs. The price is firm, and strictly as-is. If you don't like, walk.

We once went to a FSBO and pulled in the driveway and said, "No, I don't like the area." Since we made the appt. I said well, lets go in and take a quick look. It turned out to be the best home we viewed. It looked brand new, quality builder, gorgeous pool etc. The sellers took great care of this property and it showed. You just never know! SHOW UP if you make an appt.

Great info! We are selling next year for retirement…hard to wait with the market as it is. I will watch your housing prep videos next. We have already started home projects needing to be done. Love your matter of fact style!

So hard to find a decent, honest realtor. She appears to be the one!

Oh, my God! This lady is great! I thought I knew everything but I learned so much the last few minutes. Thumbs up!

As a current homebuyer and seller, I really appreciate your videos!

This was a great video. I'm insisting my husband watch it. In fact, I have a list of your video material he must watch before we put our home on the market next spring.

I bought my place in one day when the property was listed and did my home inspection myself and fixed whatever and everybody was happy especially the realtor, since it was no hassle for her at all. Learn all you can know what you want and jump at the opportunity. All Other buyers were crying!!! thanks for the wonderful video. You’re very smart and know your work well.

I am a real estate investor, and you are spot on! I don't like agents historically, but you are awesome!

No, we will have that conversation and if the number is wrong not selling. Nothing wrong with that.

having a lil wiggle room, and/or a concession to me is part & parcel of the simple psychology of a savvy seller.

This is so good im watching it again, lots of valuable info!

LOVE your straight talking advice. Wish you were in the UK! … most UK agents/realtor could learn from you!

Always helpful. Thank you.
