In this episode of Real Housed, Billy Samson steps in for Colby and joins the team to break down what’s really working in today’s market — and where sellers are gaining the edge.

We kick things off with our new partnership with Merrifield Garden Center and how it’s helping sellers boost curb appeal with zero upfront cost (pay at settlement). From there, we dive into the latest updates around Zillow Preview, what’s changed since our last episode, and Billy’s firsthand experience navigating it as both a buyer and a seller.

The conversation then shifts to the new MLS protocols and how our team is adapting strategy to stay ahead. What actually stands out in Zillow Preview? What are buyers responding to? And how do you create real leverage before your home even hits the open market? We also break down why our clients have a competitive advantage, from pricing strategy to exposure and how that’s translating into results.

If you’re thinking about selling, buying, or just want to understand what’s actually working right now, this episode is packed with insight, experience, and a little family banter along the way. Pour a drink, pull up a chair, and join the conversation. 🍻
