What does Feng Shui have to do with Real Estate?! Our guest Anita Rosenberg is a Feng Shui and Chinese Astrology expert....

We discuss why Feng Shui is not a trend even if it's trendy, what being in a Water/Rabbit Year can mean for agents, and how exploring out-of-the-box revenue streams (fire sales, commercial real estate, etc.) may be the path to success in 2023. We also cover some positive-home-energy basics, how creating a harmonious space is a very personalized experience, and why you shouldn't keep pictures of kids or in-laws in your bedroom.

We also discuss the potential reasons for property tax appeals, why there's a growing number of appeals surrounding off-market listings, and why some things - like court cases and cappuccinos - are best left to the experts.

Jennifer Gilbert, owner of marketing strategy company Remio Group, joins us on this week's episode!

Hosts Paul and Sara are joined by attorney Jack LaPedis to discuss the inside workings of real estate disputes. We learn the importance of resolving lawsuits in the dispute stage rather than going to trial, why the best settlements are the ones where no one is happy, and who is really on the hook when it's time for a payout. We also cover the types of questions realtors should ask when doing disclosures, why including your clients on all communications could be your saving grace, and one very important rule all realtors should live by - you can't get sued over something you disclose.
