In this episode, Cherise Selley cautions listeners that in the current changing market, buying with the mentality of short-term gains (like those sought by “flipping” properties) is not the way to go. Cherise and co-host Shawna Uehling share real-life anecdotes from recent client experiences that illuminate Cherise’s advice.
Cherise points out that a few years ago, it was a no-brainer strategy to buy a starter home and sell it in two years, which would enable the purchase of that “next-level,” family-friendly home. Is this still a smart strategy? Listen to learn more.
Cherise and Shawna also talk disclosure tips. As a REALTOR®, do you have to disclose to a potential buyer if there was a death in the home? Is it the responsibility of the REALTOR® or the seller to tell potential buyers about reported ghosts, hauntings and similar paranormal activity? Get the answers in this episode.
Finally, Cherise shares residential real estate statistics for October 2022 including Colorado Springs and all of El Paso County, Colorado.
