Not every real estate deal has a happy ending—but every single one has something to teach us.


In this episode, I’m sharing real stories of deals gone wrong: from contract disputes and disclosure fails to inspection nightmares and emotional meltdowns. These aren’t just cautionary tales… They're powerful reminders of why the right guidance makes all the difference.


Whether you’re buying, selling, or just curious… This episode is packed with hard-earned wisdom to help you avoid costly mistakes.


Key Takeaways:

  • Contracts are legal protection—not just paperwork
  • Transparency in disclosures can make or break a deal
  • Inspections are critical—especially in older homes
  • Having the right professionals on your team changes everything
  • Don’t rush or skip steps just to win the deal
