Ever wonder why some buyers panic over a loose screw while others see a diamond in the rough? 💎🔧 In this episode, we dive deep into the mindset that shapes every real estate decision — from inspections to renovations — and how that perspective can make or break a deal. Whether you're buying, selling, inheriting, or building on PEI, this conversation uncovers hard truths, overlooked risks, and the surprising opportunities hiding in plain sight. 🏡🔥

We break down what home inspectors often don’t look at (yes, including generators and discontinued roofing systems), why some sellers quit right before success, and the real story behind kickbacks, mini-home lot rent, and improvement incentives. We also take a no-nonsense look at the myth that “buyers have 15 listings each” and why a property sitting 137 days on MLS isn’t the red flag some people think it is. 📉➡️📈

If you’re navigating an inheritance, we tackle the capital-gains question around selling a parent’s primary residence — including why you should get that appraisal yesterday and how many to get. We also get into whether you really need to tighten screws on a metal roof every year, and why being physically present during construction or renovations saves you heartache, money, and maybe a few grey hairs. 🧰💬

This episode is loaded with real-world insight, straight talk, and the kind of practical advice that keeps deals alive and surprises to a minimum. Tune in! 🎧✨
