In this episode, Matthew tackles a common concern among real estate agents: high days on market (DOM). Is resetting the DOM a smart strategy—or is it deceptive? Matthew breaks down why long DOM isn’t necessarily a red flag, what really impacts showings, and why staging or resetting the clock might not solve your problem. You’ll hear insights on how to approach stale listings ethically, boost visibility with smarter photo strategies, and understand the difference between marketing issues and actu...

In this episode, we break down the “Days on Market” (DOM) metric — what it means, how it’s tracked, and what it can tell you about a property. Whether you’re a buyer wondering why a home hasn’t sold, or a seller thinking about relisting, understanding DOM can give you a major edge. We also talk about how listing resets, holidays, pricing tweaks, and photo changes can impact DOM — and how savvy agents use that data strategically.

Why does the experience seem to matter more than the expertise in today's world? We’...

One important trait that a good agent needs is a spine. I cant stand when my agents say the other agent or a customer is putting pressure on them. I say do not let anybody put pressure on you, you out pressure on them. Do not let anybody make demands on you, you make demands on them. You have to take control of the situation. You have to be able to say NO! We had an offer that was gobbly gook. The Buyer’s name was entered where the Seller’s name should be. The Seller’s name was entered where the...

When making a price drop on your listing, there is much more than just changing the price in the MLS. In this episode I talk about taking a strategic approach to get the most bang for your buck (or your Seller’s buck) when lowering the price. A listing agent should approach this as if it is a new listing. And I discuss further in the show. From reaching out to agents and buyers from previous showing, freshening up the listing with new descriptions and photos, and much more. Separating yourself f...

A Buyer called me asking about my listing. He is asking about seller financing. If he puts $50k down. Who would make the terms up? A lawyer? Many times a seller can’t or won’t offer Seller financing and I explain more in this episode and answer the question regarding who makes up the terms. I also explain what to do if The Seller would consider it. Hint: It is just like any other contract except that The Seller is also the lender. So if you have a buyer asking if The Seller will offer financing ...

Recently at the walk through before a closing for one of Jill Glanzer’s Buyers, we discovered that the Seller failed to deliver the property in the condition that was agreed to in the contract and inspection addendum. The contract was supposed to include all television sets, and according the the inspection report the Seller was supposed to replace all of the light bulbs that where out. Usually not a big deal, but when the ceiling is 20 feet tall, changing a lightbulb is not as simple as changin...

While not required by law, a Seller’s Disclosure is a good way for a Seller (and a Seller’s agent) to cover their ass. Buyer’s agents should always ask for one in any offer they draft on behalf of their Buyers. Listing agents should ask their Sellers to fill one out after they sign the listing agreement, while they are waiting for photos and preparing the listing for the MLS. It does not matter if the seller ever lived in the property. Want to know more? Send us an email or ask to join us on The...

The biggest complaint that I hear about real estate agents from their customers is that the real estate agent has not been in touch with the customer for an extended period of time. It is very important to follow up with your sellers, buyers and leads. Do not let too much time pass without contacting them. If you show one of your listings, understand that the seller got the house ready, and vacated to accommodate you. You MUST let the seller know if you are finished and if there is any feedback....
