Once the ink is dry and escrow has closed, most sellers assume the transaction is behind them for good. But in reality, disputes can still arise long after the keys are handed over. In this episode, we talk about how sellers can reduce the risk of post-closing lawsuits and costly legal headaches.

We discuss the role of seller disclosures, what sellers are responsible for sharing, and how issues sometimes come to light after the close of escrow—things that neither the seller nor the buyer may have known about at the time of the sale. We also touch on why good documentation, transparency, and professional guidance matter more than many sellers realize.

Zillow's "Zestimate" is often the first number homeowners see when they think about selling—but how reliable is it, really? In this episode, we break down how Zestimates are created, why they can miss the mark (sometimes by a lot), and the limitations of automated valuation models that don't account for condition, upgrades, location nuances, or current market momentum.

We also explain why pricing a home correctly is one of the most critical decisions a seller can make—and why meeting with a knowledgeable local Realtor provides far more insight than an algorithm ever could. If you're thinking about selling and wondering what your home is actually worth, this episode will help you separate digital estimates from real-world value.

In this episode, we break down the idea of the recently proposed 50-year mortgage and what it could mean for homeowners—especially sellers. Spoiler alert: we're not cheering this one on. We explore how ultra-long loans could affect buyer qualification, affordability illusions, property values, and the long-term health of the housing market. We also look at why stretching payments over half a century may sound helpful on paper but could ultimately create risk, instability, and slower equity growth. If you're thinking about selling—or just care about the direction of the market—this episode will help you understand why a 50-year mortgage might do more harm than good.

Why Selling Your Home Yourself Might Cost You More
