Kris Wise, expert realtor and leader of The Wise Advantage Group in Flower Mound, joins Angi Burns to break down today's "schizophrenic" real estate market. With 24 years of experience and a background as a self-described "phone accountant," Kris shares how she built a data-driven business in the land between the lakes, what really happened with the 2024 commission changes, and the tips every buyer and seller needs to know before making a move.

• Anyone confused about the 2024 buyer's agent compensation changes
• Buyers and sellers in Flower Mound, Salina, Azell, and the land between the lakes

🎟 What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• What the current DFW market really looks like and why we're still in a strong seller's market
• How the August 2024 commission changes actually work and why they benefit both buyers and sellers

• The "come from contribution" philosophy behind The Wise Advantage Group's culture
• The number one tip every seller needs to hear before spending money on improvements
• How to find a trusted agent and why your best friend or cousin may not be the right choice
