📌 Episode Summary:

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the real talk every home buyer and seller needs to hear. With over 13 years of experience in real estate, I’ve seen too many deals fall apart — not because of the market, but because of bad agents.

Whether you’re buying your first home or selling your current one, knowing what red flags to watch for can save you thousands of dollars, tons of time, and a whole lot of stress.

I’m giving you 10 major warning signs that your real estate agent might not have your best interest at heart — and what to do instead. This is the stuff most agents won’t say out loud.

🔥 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The #1 thing bad agents always do wrong (and how to test for it early)

• Why being “pushy” is a giant red flag — and how to spot manipulation

• How agents misuse market data to bait sellers into unrealistic expectations

• The difference between confidence and commission-chasing

• Real stories from the trenches that show you what not to tolerate

• A checklist of 5 essential questions to ask before you hire an agent

• • How to protect your investment, your time, and your sanity

  
  

  🧠 Key Takeaways:

• • If they ghost you before the deal, they’ll ghost you during it too.

  • Local knowledge matters more than a fancy title or a flashy sales pitch.

  • In today’s market, your agent’s digital presence is your secret weapon.

• • You deserve an agent who listens to you — not just talks about themselves.
