Real Estate Reality

What do you get when Real Estate Agents, Inspectors, Cats, Brothels, Stripper Poles, and Dead Bodies show up to the Real Estate Reality Podcast Show? We'd say a hell of a story...

Be prepared to be entertained as we sit down with Kempton Rimes and "LJ" John Evers of Cypress Home Inspections of SWFL.

We cover the many things they've seen throughout their time as home inspectors.

Hoarders? They have some stories but one, in particular, stands out.

Plus Kempton covers a time when he found an envelope with money in it. What did he do with it? Listen in you won't believe it!

Murder house? Emily "Kills" it with her story. 

LJ and Kempton found some unexpected toys and what they thought was a cute wedding book that turned out to be so much more interesting...

How long should it take to inspect a 3,000 sq ft home? Better pack breakfast, lunch, and dinner for one of Emily's horror stories.

Tune in!
