Erin and Stacy kick off the episode by talking about the wild reaction they got to a clip on IG where they criticized (in a funny way, relax guys) Charleston's fashion choices and why they had to eventually turn the comments off. Erin shares some highlights from her trip to Iceland before the two brokers get into a fascinating discussion about big brokerages losing to boutique real estate firms and what this says about the real estate landscape in the age of AI.

The real reason some people are leaving blue-state markets? Taxes. And Charleston is quietly winning because of it. On this episode of Between Two Brokers, Stacy and Erin get into the wild stuff:

-Millionaires taxes Pied-à-terre taxes

-Why second homes are getting more expensive

-Why wealthy buyers can pack up and move
-Why Charleston keeps attracting people from the Northeast

-Whether Florida actually has character

-What spray foam, mold, and bad ventilation can do to a house

-Why the cheapest contractor is not always the best choice

This episode isn't just about wealthy buyers. It's also about who has the freedom to move when costs change—and who gets stuck. Plus, if you own a home, save this one. Between mold, HVAC issues, crawl spaces, and questionable contractors, bad advice can get expensive very quickly. Would you move for lower taxes, better weather, or a different lifestyle—or stay put no matter what?
