The majority of information online regarding barndominiums focuses solely on the build process. However, as this new housing trend becomes more popular, you can also expect to see more of these unique houses for sale. With that being said, there are substantial differences between buying and selling a traditional house versus a barndominium. Factors such as building codes, resale potential, financing, and insurance options could greatly impact the purchase or sale of a barndominium. That's why having a real estate agent who understands navigating this process is crucial. Today, we are joined by real estate agent Chris Pesek, who specializes in buying and selling barndominiums in Texas. Chris offers valuable insights for both buyers and sellers alike. This episode is beneficial even for those planning to build, as it highlights potential pitfalls when selling a barndominium. It's a unique episode unlike anything else out there, and whether you're buying, selling, or about to start building a barndominium, you'll definitely want to listen.
