House Einstein

The business of real estate involves large sums of money, due diligence, risk management, and is highly emotional. It’s also a minefield for agents to navigate, much less, negotiate well on behalf of their clients. In today’s podcast, we dive deep into the world of competent and incompetent real estate negotiation.

This podcast also features a special guest, Ian Steinmo, who tells us about the changing landscaping of real estate marketing illustrated by one of his recent sales.

The House Einstein Podcast is Boulder's trusted real estate Podcast. We discuss market conditions, local real estate news, notable sales, and so much more.

Our mission is to help you make a smarter real estate decision. Contact the House Einstein team: https://www.houseeinstein.com/p/contact-us.html

What’s your agent’s job again? If they’re just driving you around to look at houses, find a better agent.

In this podcast, we’re going to focus on due diligence - something that should start well before you even set foot inside a house.

Remember: The best agents are your proactive adviser when it comes to property selection, offer expert negotiation skills, and most importantly, they should be guiding you through complete and thorough due diligence.

Our mission is to help you make a smarter real estate decision.
