What are buyers and sellers actually asking when no agent is in the room? Host Dave Jones scraped Reddit's real estate forums from the last 30 days and brought the real questions to Holly Tacker — a Windermere Abode agent with 12 years in the business — for straight answers.
The lineup: Can we actually afford this home (and why your pre-approval is a ceiling, not a target)? What do you do when the inspection reveals a lot of flaws? Should sellers get a pre-inspection before listing — and what does disclosure mean for what it finds? Should you ever waive an inspection on a new build (spoiler: no — wait for the sewer story)? And how do you buy without buyer's remorse when the perfect house doesn't exist?
Plus Holly's rule for every buyer: price, condition, location — you get two of the three.
