My good friend and amazing Realtor, Pete Heim, is our guest this week!!
Big real estate mergers are making headlines, but the day to day experience still comes down to the agent you choose and the facts you verify. We talk through what consolidation, local inventory shifts, pricing discipline, and AI fueled scams mean for buyers and sellers right now.
• Compass buying Anywhere and why it signals a new era of capital and consolidation
• Why real estate stays agent driven even as brokerages scale up
• Local inventory reality in Berks County versus national trends
• Pricing based on sold comps rather than list prices
• How to spot better buyer opportunities in older listings
• Forecast revisions on sales, mortgage rates, and job gains
• AI in listing photos and the line between enhancement and manipulation
• Fraud prevention basics including ID checks and wire safety
• A real rental scam story and why trusting instincts matters
Getting caught up on the Real Estate Market every other month with the help of my good friend Pete Heim!!
