In This episode Dylan and Scott discuss the merits of staging in this newer market post COVID. Homes are sometimes taking longer to sell and many sellers have changed their expectations on having their home staged and having their own personal furniture removed and not feeling comfortable living amongst staged furniture.

Discussion also circled around some of the myths with staging, such as how much more money does staging obtain on the eventual sale price for a home. 

There is some funny discussions regarding how to "date" a house based on its colour scheme and decor. 

This Podcast took us down some funny avenues regarding style and very valid discussions on how best to prepare a home for sale in todays market. 

In this episode, we had a great conversation with Rob Floris, one of our fellow agents at our brokerage, who we like to call, our in-house statistician. Rob is a numbers guy who tracks and uses statistics in his business more than most, which made for an informative discussion we hope you will enjoy!

We want to thank Rob once again for taking the time to chat with us, and we look forward to having him back on in the future!

Join us on this informative and insightful episode as we dive into the world of real estate here in Ontario, and unravel the recent changes made to help build trust as a consumer while you are working with a realtor.  These are the TRESA changes, or "Trust in Real Estate Services Act" that was introduced on December 1, 2023.

We invited Scott White on the podcast, our Brokerage Manager at RE/MAX Jazz, to help explain and define these new changes that we will all be getting used to in the coming weeks and months.

Whether you're a first-time home buyer or a seasoned investor, discover how working with a real estate agent can simplify your property search, negotiation process, and paperwork. We will also shed light on what you can expect from your agent with these new changes, and how to ensure a successful collaboration.

A special thanks to Scott White for joining us for this one, we hope to bring him back in the future for more updates!

In this episode, Scott and Dylan decided to change things up a little bit and brought in the local powerhouse of general contracting, Jordan Da Rosa. Jordan and his wife Devyn are the Owners/Operators of Da Rosa Construction, a hugely successful home renovation business local to the Durham Region of Ontario.

We discuss various topics surrounding the home renovation business, with things to consider from both a contractor's and consumer's perspective. We also get into a great conversation about Jordan's story which features humble beginnings and a lot of hustling to get to where he is today. 

This episode is packed full of insight and helpful tips for those considering a renovation of some type to their home in the future. You'll get to hear Jordan's thought processes on how he operates his business, from quotes/estimates, to what it takes to be successful as a self-employed contractor, in his opinion. 

We'd like to thank Jordan for joining us on the podcast and are looking forward to having him back sometime soon!
