Ever wonder what really goes on behind the scenes in real estate deals? 😳 This episode dives into the wild world of contracts, cameras, and chaos — with a good dose of insider wisdom and humour. 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.
