In this red-hot real estate market you need every possible edge to separate yourself from all of the other buyers and investors you're competing with. There are also tricks and tips sellers need to be aware of to get the best price for their property.
Today Joshua Schaub from Icon Realty Group is back in the studio to share up-to-date actionable techniques for buyers, sellers and investors that will give you the edge in today's real estate market.
Joshua has 7 tips for buyers that will help them get more offers accepted, 5 tips for sellers that will help them price and market their home effectively, and real-life stories from the trenches that every investor can learn from.
We discuss the vacant land he purchased where his development plans were literally 'sunk', why buyers should do a final walk-through before closing, and how he helped sell a house that hadn't received any offers for more money than the seller had been asking through a previous broker.
There's a lot of fantastic information packed into this episode. I'm also thrilled to welcome Icon Realty Group as the newest sponsor for this show. You can contact Joshua and Icon Realty Group by phone or website:
