Home Improvement ROI & Would You Rather Happyish Hour

In this episode, Annalie and I dive into those home improvement ROI stats your sellers actually NEED – including why a simple front door replacement delivers 100% return while that kitchen renovation might leave them crying into their new quartz countertops. (Spoiler: steel front doors are apparently magical money-makers, who knew?)

We also break down the Fed's latest "we're not saying anything definitive" meeting (thanks for nothing 😭) and uncover some interesting stats about where younger buyers are actually purchasing homes. Minnesota at #1? As a proud Minnesotan, even I was surprised by that one.

Then we play what might be the most revealing game of "Real Estate Agent Would You Rather" ever recorded. Would you rather show up to a listing appointment in gym clothes or call your client by the wrong name the entire transaction? Our answers might surprise you (or confirm what you already suspected about us).

Whether you're looking for some practical renovation advice to share with clients, market insights to sound smarter at your next office meeting, or simply need to laugh with two people who understand that sometimes this business requires treating yourself "like a toddler" (yes, I actually said that), this episode has you covered.

Cheers to doing it right(ish)!
