What really happens when a real estate deal goes sideways — and who actually gets the deposit? 🤔 In this episode, we dig into one of the most misunderstood and hotly debated issues in real estate: mutual releases, deposits, and how simple problems can spiral into bureaucratic gridlock with no clear answers.We also tackle a surprisingly common (and stressful) situation: septic fields that may not even be on your property — with no mention in the deed and no plot plan to be found. 🧭 From satellite imagery and land contours to pipe clues, sensors, and plumbers, we break down how professionals try to locate septic systems when official records are missing or useless. Spoiler alert: Access PEI doesn’t always save the day. 💥 Septic testing continues to be a major issue across PEI, and buyers need to know where the landmines are.Mapping accuracy is another trap buyers fall into. 📐 Just because it looks right online doesn’t mean it is. Ortho photos can lie, measurements can be off, and deeds don’t always tell the full story. We explain why manually verifying lot size still matters — a lot.Fraud is everywhere right now — from REALTOR.CA inquiries to straight-up credit card fraud. 🚨 We get blunt about protecting yourself: two-factor authentication, password managers, credit alerts, Equifax monitoring, and why you should never click a meeting link from someone who “doesn’t have a phone.” Ever.Good news still exists, though. 🏡 Yes, you can still buy a livable home in the $200,000–$260,000 range within 20 minutes of town — and on more than an acre. We explain where, how, and what expectations buyers should have.We also cover EV chargers and heat pumps ⚡🔥, why electrical panel upgrades are often unavoidable, erosion barrier studies, buffer zones, HOAs, developers owning shoreline buffers, and the fees buyers often don’t notice until it’s too late.Plus: the Waste Watch app 🗑️ (because knowing when your garbage goes out matters), and a rant-worthy look at the silliest, most meaningless phrases on MLS cut sheets — including “as is where is,” vague measurements, and misleading tax info that’s about to be reassessed anyway.Connect with Michael: 🔗 YouTube: Michael Poczynek 🔗 Website: Michael's Homes 🔗 Twitter (X): Michael's TwitterMy mailing list and weekly newsletter.

Real estate isn’t just about houses—it’s about timing, strategy, law, weather, power outages, and occasionally the entire province shutting down because someone mentioned a storm. 🌬️❄️In this episode, we dive deep into November 2025 Canadian real estate stats, hard-earned closing day lessons, and the kind of mistakes buyers and sellers make when they assume everything will “just work out.” (Spoiler: it won’t.)You’ll hear why closing on time is overrated, why end-of-month and Friday closings are a rookie mistake, and how a super-detailed pre-close inspection can save you tens of thousands of dollars. ⚡🔍 From checking electrical systems and fuel levels to testing appliances and making sure the contract terms are actually followed, this is real-world advice you won’t hear from a brochure.We also clear up major confusion around the federal foreign buyer ban—specifically whether it applies to vacant building lots (hint: Ottawa went after houses, not dirt 🏗️). If you’re buying land, this matters.Plus: • The fastest real estate closing ever recorded (17 hours ⏱️) • Why salt water freezes below zero and why Islanders somehow still panic every winter 🌊🧊 • How to prepare for a power outage like a seasoned Islander 🔦 • Why deleting the UFFI/asbestos warranty clause could save you legal grief • The shocking cost of upgrading a 60- or 70-amp panel on a mini home 💸 • Why buyer pre-qualification should happen before showings—not after • And what to do when you’re pressured to make an offer with no home inspection clause 🏠PEI Real Estate real-time search/videos/government links: https://michaelshomes.com/links.htmlReady to unlock the door to your dream property?🎧🏡 #PEIRealEstate #DreamPropertyOffer #LivingInPEI #ExplorePEI #PEIConnect with Michael: 🔗 YouTube: Michael Poczynek 🔗 Website: Michael's Homes 🔗 Twitter (X): Michael's TwitterMy mailing list and weekly newsletter.

Thinking about buying, selling, or moving to Prince Edward Island? Then this episode is required listening. In this jam-packed conversation, we dig into real, current PEI real estate issues that buyers, sellers, and even agents keep getting wrong—and we don’t sugar-coat a thing. 🏡🔥We start with November real estate stats, breaking down what’s actually happening on the ground versus the stories people want to believe. From there, we tackle the ever-controversial Confederation Bridge and ferry tolls—what’s changing, what it costs, and why it matters if you live on (or plan to move to) the Island. 🌉⛴️Then comes a full rant (deservedly so) on off-market listings—why they’re usually overpriced, poorly thought out, and driven by unmotivated sellers chasing fantasy numbers. Buyers think they’ve found a secret deal… spoiler alert: they haven’t. We also explain why real-time CMAs matter more than ever.We dig into another classic PEI problem: properties with no deeded access. If you’re not reading surveys, deeds, and mapping tools properly, congratulations—you’re buying a headache. 🗺️🚫You’ll also get a clear, plain-English explanation of what a share sale is, why it exists, and when it can seriously complicate a real estate transaction.For anyone moving to PEI, we talk about renting before you buy—how to avoid scams, why talking to agents matters, and why “send a deposit first” should be a hard no. 🛑We also smash a big myth: money spent on renovations does NOT equal market value. The market doesn’t care what you spent—only what buyers will pay. Clean and paint still win. Every time. 🎨Finally, we unpack a bizarre new trend involving backup offers—including why asking “what’s the lowest number the seller will take” completely misses the point.Connect with Michael: 🔗 YouTube: Michael Poczynek 🔗 Website: Michael's Homes 🔗 Twitter (X): Michael's TwitterMy mailing list and weekly newsletter.

Thinking about listing your home? Negotiating offers? Wondering why your property taxes feel like they’re on a protein shake? 🏡💰 This episode pulls back the curtain on what actually happens behind the scenes in real estate — the good, the bad, and the “why did that agent just bring a stack of cut-sheets like it’s 1998?”We walk you through what a proper listing appointment should look like from start to finish, including the critical pre-appointment intake, how a modern CMA should be structured, and why first impressions can make or break the entire relationship. ✨You’ll also hear a deep dive into the real best time to present an offer — timing isn’t everything, but in real estate, it’s pretty darn close. ⏰📄Then we wade into the murky waters of property taxes: why they’re high in some areas, the shocking difference between Summerside and Charlottetown, and how buyers obsess over electric bills while ignoring the biggest expense they’ll ever pay. And yes — annual tax audits aren’t optional if you actually want to keep your money. 💸🔥Finally, we touch on current buyer and developer assistance programmes — what’s useful, what’s fluff, and how to spot the difference.Packed with straight talk, strategy, and a touch of humour, this episode helps homeowners, buyers, and investors skip the guesswork and get ahead in today’s market. 🚀🎧 Available now on all major podcast platforms!

Looking for the unfiltered truth about real estate? 🏡💬 This episode dives straight into the conversations most agents are too scared to have — from giving real opinions, to avoiding mini-home land-lease traps, to calling out ridiculous offers before they waste everyone’s time. If you want sharper real-estate instincts and fewer headaches in your deals, this one’s worth every minute. 🎧✨We break down why clients sometimes don’t actually want honesty — but desperately need it — and how agents must remember who they represent. You’ll hear a no-nonsense discussion on acting more like a lawyer (minus the hourly bill), removing commission bias, and delivering real guidance that protects your buyers and sellers.We also dive into mini-homes and rental PAD sites, what buyers consistently misunderstand, and how to negotiate these terms like a pro. Then we tackle the oddball buyer strategy of having the listing agent show the home first… and why that backfires.Plus, a hilarious but educational segment on ChatGPT hallucinating real-estate clauses (including those “insert agent name here” moments). And finally, winter is coming, so we cap it off with smart, practical tips for winterizing your home before leaving it vacant.Smart advice. Real talk.

Ever wonder why some buyers panic over a loose screw while others see a diamond in the rough? 💎🔧 In this episode, we dive deep into the mindset that shapes every real estate decision — from inspections to renovations — and how that perspective can make or break a deal. Whether you're buying, selling, inheriting, or building on PEI, this conversation uncovers hard truths, overlooked risks, and the surprising opportunities hiding in plain sight. 🏡🔥We break down what home inspectors often don’t look at (yes, including generators and discontinued roofing systems), why some sellers quit right before success, and the real story behind kickbacks, mini-home lot rent, and improvement incentives. We also take a no-nonsense look at the myth that “buyers have 15 listings each” and why a property sitting 137 days on MLS isn’t the red flag some people think it is. 📉➡️📈If you’re navigating an inheritance, we tackle the capital-gains question around selling a parent’s primary residence — including why you should get that appraisal yesterday and how many to get. We also get into whether you really need to tighten screws on a metal roof every year, and why being physically present during construction or renovations saves you heartache, money, and maybe a few grey hairs. 🧰💬This episode is loaded with real-world insight, straight talk, and the kind of practical advice that keeps deals alive and surprises to a minimum.

Buying or selling real estate in PEI isn’t just about finding the perfect property — it’s about avoiding costly mistakes. In this episode, we tackle some of the most common (and avoidable) pitfalls in the real estate world 🏡✨.We start with a crucial reminder: always get work agreements in writing — no exceptions! Whether it’s renovations, landscaping, or repairs, a proper contract can save you endless headaches (and maybe even a lawsuit).

Looking for the inside scoop on Prince Edward Island real estate? 🏡 This episode uncovers the little-known truths, mistakes buyers make, and industry practices most people never hear about until it’s too late. If you’re moving to PEI, buying a vacation property, investing in land, or even curious about how the real estate market really works here, this one is for you.First, we break down a surprising statistic: only 47% of property inquiries to real estate agents ever receive a reply. 📉 That means more than half of buyers are being ignored right from the start. We talk about why this happens, what it means for buyers and sellers, and how to make sure your questions don’t fall through the cracks.Next, we dig into closing day mistakes that can cost buyers both time and money—like why you should never notify Maritime Electric the day before closing ⚡ (even if your agent says so). We also cover how much time you really need for well water testing on PEI—and why rushing this process could lead to big regrets. 💧Then we take on the controversial topic of serving liquor at open houses and agent tours 🍷—does it help or hurt? Plus, we explain a crucial detail most buyers overlook when purchasing a business: in most cases, the sale does not include the building 🏢—something that can drastically change the deal.And finally, because life on PEI isn’t just about contracts and closings, we share one of the island’s biggest secrets: PEI has countless free beaches 🏖️. You don’t need to pay park fees—just follow the coastal routes, provincial signage, and you’ll discover stunning, sandy stretches at no cost.PEI Real Estate real-time search/videos/government links: https://michaelshomes.com/links.htmlReady to unlock the door to your dream property?🎧🏡 #PEIRealEstate #DreamPropertyOffer #LivingInPEI #ExplorePEI #PEIConnect with Michael: 🔗 YouTube: Michael Poczynek 🔗 Website: Michael's Homes 🔗 Twitter (X): Michael's TwitterMy mailing list and weekly newsletter.

🎙️ Curious about what homes in Prince Edward Island really cost compared to the rest of Canada? 🏡 This episode breaks down the numbers and dives into the real estate realities that buyers, sellers, and investors need to know. From the Home Price Index (HPI) to understanding median values, we give you the insider tools to make sense of PEI housing costs and how they stack up against other provinces.📍 We’ll also tackle one of the biggest headaches in real estate: land without an address. Many buyers assume every property has a number on a mailbox, but unless there’s been a building permit, that’s often not the case. We explain how to handle this, what to look for, and why it matters.🧭 Thinking of walking a property? Don’t just wander in blind. We share the ultimate property-hunting checklist — from generating GPS coordinates on government sites, using proper GPS devices instead of just your phone, apps that can show property lines, and why you should never trust anything over the survey itself. Pro tip: bring bug spray, a mosquito net, and all the aerial photos you can get your hands on!🚨 We also shine a light on serious property issues you need to watch for, including the notorious Kitec plumbing that has killed more than one home sale after inspection. You’ll hear a real-world example of how hidden Kitec piping derailed a deal.🙅♀️ Another big one: stop contacting listing agents directly for showings. We explain why buyers should work with their buyer’s agent instead of trying to cut corners, and how it actually saves time, money, and stress for everyone involved.🕒 At the end of the day, real estate is one massive time-management project. From showings to closing, keeping things on track takes strategy. That’s why we wrap up this episode with a look at closing costs and our exclusive Powerhouse Realty Buyer’s Guide — the tool you didn’t know you needed until now.PEI Real Estate real-time search/videos/government links: https://michaelshomes.com/links.html🎧🏡 #PEIRealEstate #DreamPropertyOffer #LivingInPEI #ExplorePEI #PEIConnect with Michael: 🔗 YouTube: Michael Poczynek 🔗 Website: Michael's Homes 🔗 Twitter (X): Michael's TwitterMy mailing list and weekly newsletter.
