I’ve noticed a common tactic when the days on the market gets high is to relist the house with another agent so the counter resets to 0.

I would talk to as many neighbors -- each side, behind, across the street -- as you can before you buy. Bad neighbors are a top reason why people move.

Thank you for bringing awareness to the critical issues of water damage and mold which are often temporarily covered up in a renovated (flipped) house. It took me over 400 iv's to recover my health after purchasing a beautifully remodeled home in San Diego where the sellers/realtors did not disclose major water leaks and mold growing inside the interior walls of the home. The renovation was so recent there were no visible signs so it passed inspection. My golden retriever and cat died and all of my belongings had to be hauled away to a biohazard waste site. The house was so toxic it had to be torn down at my expense. As someone who has had to fight to get my health back, I have learned so much from my doctors and healthcare professionals about the effects of toxic mold. Thank you for being a realtor of integrity putting a spotlight on these issues. There is mold everywhere (yes, even in the desert) and even the tiniest water leak can create a big health issue if not repaired properly. I really enjoy watching the videos you post!

Jerry, you just have me my favorite real estate quote: The deal of the decade comes by once a week.

Talking to neighbors on the same street and in the general neighborhood is very useful, because people love to gossip and complain. Drug activity, thefts, evening noise, party homes, etc.

5.50 Super advice Jerry. Regarding the lack of front of the house photo, it could be there is a very similar looking house for sale in the area, and the agent wants to distinguish it. Nothing sinister necessarily!

If there are a lot of homes for sale in a neighborhood it could be that a major employer in the area just closed.

Thank you Jerry for calling me regarding my Victorian Building in Arlington Heights, IL I will wait for that real estate pro you have suggested this morning. Again thank you for your professionalism !

A friend of mine was telling me about a friend of hers who ended up selling a perfect good home because the neighbor boy became dangerous, and the mom refused to do anything.

He stole cars, damaged cars, and damaged property, would just walk up to any woman in the neighborhood and record them openly, claiming he was allowed for his "spank nbnk" whatever that is. She bought an airsoft for Christmas and he started sh***ting and flipping off the women in the hood.

Not only my did my friends friend sell she said 4 other homes around them sold, too.

That boy is gonna end up on jail.

In my case I found a house that had been on the market for over 200 days!
It was in pretty great condition!
Put an offer in which was declined with the seller saying he was waiting for his price!Call me crazy but I am sure there were a few buyers who offered more than the selling price!

[markcleveland]

I'll be looking and calling you in a few short years. I enjoy your videos and look forward to working with your team

[johanndork]

Very useful tips. I’d check property taxes before and after remodelling and personally is the street clean, well kept and not littered with parked vehicles(check all hours not just when you view).

[amanacatandhisdog]

I don’t like when the listing says great school but the rating on the same listing is only a 2 out of 10 or bigger lot and it is a smaller lot. Makes me question the listing agent and the property.

[PianoMatronNeeNee]

Great info Jerry. I look
At previous sales. If a house has sold a lot, I run.

[jakeforrest]

I like when he says “water damage”, he shows one of the water channels in Venice 😂

[Chinunit]

Majority of things he mentioned are the houses that are dump up for demolition, and it's actually a land that is for sale in popular cities with Cali prices.

Another great and helpful video Jerry! I don't know anyone thinking of moving to SC in the near future, but if I do you are the person I will tell them to contact! Thanks!

Had an acquaintance who got a great price (well below market) on a fairly new home in a very nice upscale development. On the day of the walk-thru, a neighbor approached him to say that the previous owner had very violently taken his own life in the living room, sadly. This was years ago before these types of disclosures were a thing. Luckily, he was able to cancel the contract & closing.

[SamMillerSells]

Super helpful video Jerry! You not only gave them a list of things they should avoid, you gave them some very good advice - Sam
