Thinking about buying or selling real estate in (PEI) Canada? Want to avoid costly mistakes, bad marketing optics, financing surprises, or even foreclosure? This episode dives deep into real-world real estate strategies that can save you time, money, and reputation. 💰🏡We break down what the BEST investment actually is for agents, brokers, business owners — and even buyers — and why the answer isn’t stocks, crypto, or property… it’s you. 📚🎧 From national U.S. conventions (not just brand events) to podcasts, Audible, mastermind groups, and the power of daily 30-minute walks, we talk about building long-term competitive advantage through personal growth — and why execution beats endless planning. MVP mindset. Pull the trigger. 🚀On the real estate side, we tackle serious issues: foreclosure alternatives (banks don’t want your house 👀), why January might not be the best time to view waterfront homes on dirt roads (frozen locks are real ❄️🔒), and what message alcohol sends when used in agent marketing. Brand perception matters.Sellers will want to hear our discussion on net closing statements — especially for first-time buyer price ranges. What will you actually net? How long should it take to sell based on absorption rates? And yes — HST applies to commissions, legal, and accounting fees. 📊We also cover honesty in transactions (don’t knowingly pass problems to first-time buyers), what documents you should provide your listing agent to reduce conditions and contingencies, whether pre-home inspections make sense, septic clauses and split duties, winter septic warnings, and how a simple 50-amp electrical panel can derail financing or insurance approval. ⚡Plus: young buyers with no credit, TFSA, RESP and RRSP strategies, first-time homebuyer programs, and why some “flip-looking” homes are actually renovation projects from inherited estates.If you care about doing real estate the right way — ethically, strategically, and profitably — this episode is for you. 🎯Join us for a deep dive into these essential topics and walk away with the insider knowledge to make confident real estate decisions on Prince Edward Island! 🌟Connect with Michael: 🔗 YouTube: Michael Poczynek 🔗 Website: Michael's Homes 🔗 Twitter (X): Michael's TwitterMy mailing list and weekly newsletter.

Are you overpaying for new construction in PEI? 🏡 Is that “dream waterfront build” actually a smarter move than buying resale? 🌊 And what’s really going on in that damp basement your home inspector flagged?In this episode, we break down some hard truths about Prince Edward Island real estate that buyers need to hear before writing an offer.First up: brand-new homes listed at full price… with unfinished basements. 🤨 If buyers don’t want the hassle of customizing the lower level, why are they paying top dollar? Let’s be honest — sometimes that unfinished space isn’t about “your future vision”… it’s about maximizing a builder’s margin. We unpack what this really means for value, resale, and negotiation power.Then we shift to strategy: buying a lot and building, especially waterfront in PEI. 🌅 This can be a powerful move if done correctly. But here’s the key: don’t overpay for land, don’t ignore location fundamentals, and don’t try to force a build that doesn’t suit the lot. Square pegs and round holes don’t work in construction — or real estate investing.We also dive into basement moisture issues 💧 — dehumidifiers vs Humidex systems, what actually works in PEI’s climate, and why your home inspector’s opinion on weeping tiles and gravel floors may not always tell the full story. Understanding how basements truly behave can save you thousands.Finally, we get technical: parent parcel numbers, subdividing land in Prince Edward Island, attached surveys in MLS listings, and how to properly use GeoLink searches. 📍 If you’re buying acreage or development land, this is information you absolutely need to understand before closing.Whether you're buying, building, investing, or just trying to avoid costly mistakes in PEI real estate, this episode delivers practical insight and straight talk.Join us for a deep dive into these essential topics and walk away with the insider knowledge to make confident real estate decisions on Prince Edward Island! 🌟🎧🏡 #PEIRealEstate #DreamPropertyOffer #LivingInPEI #ExplorePEI #PEIConnect with Michael: 🔗 YouTube: Michael Poczynek 🔗 Website: Michael's Homes 🔗 Twitter (X): Michael's TwitterMy mailing list and weekly newsletter.

Think a lowball offer can be ignored because it came by text? Think again. 😬 In this episode, we dive straight into the real-world rules, risks, and rookie mistakes happening right now in real estate — the kind of stuff buyers, sellers, and even agents need to understand before things go sideways.We kick things off by breaking down a rule that surprises a lot of people: every offer must be presented, no matter how it’s delivered — text message, email, verbal, scribbled on a napkin… you name it. 📱✉️ And yes, we even share a “comedy corner” moment involving a $1M offer on a $2M property. Buckle up.From there, we talk collaboration — two successful cooperative deals this week — and why working with other agents instead of against them actually gets properties sold faster. 🤝Pricing land gets messy, especially when emotion enters the chat. 🌲 We unpack a tricky 30-acre parcel with views, limited development potential, and zero waterfront — and explain why some buyers end up wildly overpaying for “swampland with a view.”There’s also a blunt but necessary conversation about buyer qualification. If an agent doesn’t know whether their client can afford the property… isn’t that a problem? 💸 We call out bad habits, lack of training, and how wasting everyone’s time helps exactly no one.On the practical side, we share a must-use clause that saves buyers from post-closing headaches when it comes to leftover junk and abandoned items. 🏠 No drama, no vendor retrievals, no surprises.We also issue a firm warning: never trust battery-powered locks 🔋🚫 — and explain why they’re a disaster waiting to happen.Finally, we get into winter realities that buyers often overlook: ploughed vs seasonal roads, access for garbage and school buses, and the very real danger of steep “suicide driveways” and blind hills once the snow flies. ❄️🚗PEI Real Estate real-time search/videos/government links: https://michaelshomes.com/links.htmlConnect with Michael: 🔗 YouTube: Michael Poczynek 🔗 Website: Michael's Homes 🔗 Twitter (X): Michael's TwitterMy mailing list and weekly newsletter.

❄️📊 What really happens to the real estate market when winter hits—and why bad offers can blow up a deal before it even starts? In this episode, we dig into December market stats, the real meaning behind days-on-market, and why writing a careless or aggressive offer can instantly turn a vendor off—sometimes permanently. If you think lowballing is a strategy, this episode might save you a very expensive lesson.We also break down a curious Realtor.ca bulletin related to fishing (yes, really), and explain how misunderstanding value—especially what vendors care deeply about—can cost buyers far more than they expect. There’s a fine line between negotiating and insulting, and we’re not sugar-coating where that line is.On the lighter side 🎭, the Comedy Corner tackles the rude awakening that comes with moving out of your parents’ house—when you start paying the heating and power bills. Suddenly, leaving doors open and blasting heat hits a little differently. And no, frozen pipes are not a personality trait—houses need heat.We also get practical with winter prep tips for homes and mini homes: insulation, winterizing pipes, antifreeze, and why keeping the heat a bit higher than usual can save you thousands in repairs.Finally, we dive into downtown Charlottetown Airbnbs and walk through the full menu of heating options buyers and sellers should actually understand—from oil and propane to electric heat, radiant systems, in-floor heating, on-demand hot water, and heat pumps. If you don’t know what’s heating the house, you don’t really know the house.🎙️ Smart insights, real talk, and a few laughs—this episode is packed with value whether you’re buying, selling, or just trying not to freeze your plumbing solid.PEI Real Estate real-time search/videos/government links: https://michaelshomes.com/links.htmlConnect with Michael: 🔗 YouTube: Michael Poczynek 🔗 Website: Michael's Homes 🔗 Twitter (X): Michael's TwitterMy mailing list and weekly newsletter.

🚨 Thinking about getting into real estate — or already in it and feeling stuck? This episode might sting a little… but you’ll thank us later.In this no-BS conversation, we pull back the curtain on some of the most common (and costly) mistakes new real estate agents make, straight from over four decades of real-world experience and a serious business background. Spoiler alert: blindly copying what everyone else is doing is a fast track to mediocrity.We also take aim at one of the most head-scratching seller habits of the year — pulling listings off the market “until spring.” 🤦♂️ What’s the logic? Does it work? Or is it just seasonal superstition wrapped in wishful thinking?On the tech side, thermal imaging gets put to the test 🔥❄️. We break down what it actually reveals in homes — from in-floor heating issues and missing insulation to windows that were supposed to be filled but clearly weren’t. We also talk about how thermal images can and should be used in offers, and whether home inspectors are even using these tools… or avoiding them because they reveal a little too much.You’ll also hear practical, straight-talk advice on choosing the right lawyer and home inspector — and why leaning on your agent’s experience can save you time, money, and regret.And finally, a reality check for out-of-province buyers 👀: if you’ve been “watching it for a while,” maybe stop over-analysing from your couch. At some point, you need to get on a plane, see the property, and make decisions. Deals don’t happen through endless emails — they happen through action.PEI Real Estate real-time search/videos/government links: https://michaelshomes.com/links.htmlConnect with Michael: 🔗 YouTube: Michael Poczynek 🔗 Website: Michael's Homes 🔗 Twitter (X): Michael's TwitterMy mailing list and weekly newsletter.

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!

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.

🚀 Ever wonder what real real estate training looks like — and why so many agents are getting left behind? In this episode, we pull back the curtain on what separates professionals who thrive from those still chasing the COVID-era “gravy train.” From building daily habits of self-education to standing out as the lead elephant 🐘 (not the one staring at the rear in front of you), Patty and Michael share honest insights on surviving and succeeding in today’s shifting market.We also tackle the golden rule of client communication: how fast should an agent respond to an inquiry? ⏱️ The answer might surprise you — and it could be the difference between landing a deal and losing it.Then we dive into fall frustrations 🍂 (yep, those blown-away signs), the truth about listing terms and why some short listings can backfire, and what a second showing really means in the buyer’s mind. Finally, a real-world story of a deal that doesn’t close — and the legal curveball that follows when a buyer’s lawyer asks for the deposit back.👉 Packed with no-nonsense advice, candid stories, and insider strategies for agents who actually want to win — not whine.Join us for a deep dive into these essential topics and walk away with the insider knowledge to make confident real estate decisions on Prince Edward Island! 🌟🎧 Available now on all major podcast platforms!

From agents pushing legal shortcuts to buyers forgetting the basics, this one’s loaded with real-world stories and practical advice every homeowner, investor, or soon-to-be buyer needs to hear.We’re spilling the truth about: 🍷 What happens if someone signs a contract under the influence — and how it could legally blow up later. 🏠 Why closing at the end of the month can be the worst move you’ll ever make. 🔐 Simple but powerful ways to secure your home — alarms, cameras, lighting, and even smart dogs. 🎥 The shocking truth about Airbnbs — up to 20% may have cameras 😬 and hotels aren’t innocent either. ⚖️ Why one lawyer representing both sides of a deal is a huge red flag. 🌡️ The hidden power of thermal imaging cameras during inspections — see what your naked eye can’t. 💡 Why you should test your furnace before winter hits, or risk a $500 surprise. 📱 A new favourite gadget: the Reolink Video Doorbell POE — because security doesn’t have to be expensive. 🏚️ The resale risk of slab-on-grade homes (and why basements still rule). 🗺️ Why you should never rely solely on GeoLink for property sizes or measurements.And if you’ve ever wondered how some agents learn bad habits… we’re talking about training by poor example — the kind that can cost you big.Grab a coffee (or a drink, responsibly 😏) and join us for a no-BS conversation about what really happens when deals get messy, buyers get lazy, and agents cut corners.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.

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!
