In this week's episode we answer questions from our listeners:

1. What are pocket listings? Are they real or just a marketing come-on?

2. Is it expensive to work with a Buyer's Agent?

3. Can I get a better deal going direct to the listing agent?

4. What’s the best search app?

5. Do I need a pre-approval if i’m making a cash offer, or what do I need instead?

6. Why can’t I visit Tom Brady’s house if it's on the market?
