We dive right into the condition of the real estate market in 2021. When the market tanked in 2008, there were millions of foreclosures. What people don't realize is all those foreclosures are washed out of the system. Now, a lot of those people who would have been selling… didn't end up selling their homes. Plus, let's not forget the pandemic – the market is feeding on itself currently. So, we talk about the importance of educating buyers, and we give loads of tips for real estate agents during these challenging times.

Join Jill as she interviews Bill Celler, radio personality turned realtor in the Atlanta area. They discuss the emotional connection to selling a house, the Atlanta area being a seller’s market, how COVID-19 makes people spend more money on their home and so much more.
