Coming up today on the Raw Real Estate podcast I say what needs to be said — the real estate industry needs to change, and here’s how. I will get into detail about how the industry has taken advantage of the consumer, and what you need to watch out for so you get the most out of the biggest transaction of your lifetime.

The real estate marketplace in Minnesota is shifting, and as we move forward into 2023, I have 5 strategies if you’re planning on selling your home. These strategies are more important today than at any time over the last two years. Before today homes saw multiple offers and sold within hours of being listed. That’s not the case anymore. We are getting back to more of a balanced market which means we have to be strategic when putting your home up for sale.

This week we are running down the most important questions to ask anyone that will represent you on the sale of your biggest asset. These are 10 questions when interviewing the real estate agent that will sell your home.

I want you to know how they should answer every one of these questions so you know you’re in good hands.

This week Wade talks about trends that are attractive to luxury real estate buyers. A few of these are a result of the pandemic, but others are simply a desire to make our lives a little less complicated. Either way, these are today’s trends that Wade has witnessed in the Twin Cities of Minnesota.

In this episode, Wade Hanson dives deep into what a “shifting market” means, and how it applies f you’re buying or selling a home. There are opportunities and challenges for buyers and sellers in a shifting market and Wade describes what that means for you.

In part one, she detailed the stresses of selling a home while building a new home at the same time, and today, we’ll wrap it up by giving you more details on an annual Woodbury fundraiser that we support called Bash For Brains.

If anyone close to you has suffered from Alzheimer’s, you’ll want to listen to this episode and become involved. Leah and her sister started Bash For Brains back in 2012, and the next Bash is right around the corner.

If anyone close to you has suffered from Alzheimer’s, today’s episode is for you. Leah Huxtable and her sister started Bash For Brains back in 2012 after losing their mother to the disease.

Today we are stepping away from my expertise in residential real estate for a chat with a man who’s an expert on the commercial side. Mark Husley founded Results Commercial 20 years ago. Today, we will talk about the most significant changes in commercial trends over the past two decades, his opinion of rent control in St. Paul, and why he’s sharing everything he’s learned on YouTube.

How do you become a real estate agent in Minnesota? Why do most real estate agents leave the industry after three years? And what really makes someone a great real estate agent? Raw Talk from the man who trains real estate agents! From the MN Realty School, Michael Brennan ABOUT MIKE: Mike Brennan hails from NYC and moved to Minnesota in 1990. Mike got into real estate first as an investor in 1991. Seeing how real estate can generate wealth, Mike got his real estate license and started helping other people enjoy the benefits that real estate offers.
