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). If you’re unsure how to draft one, a lawyer is worth the investment — or at the very least, let technology like ChatGPT give you a head start.

Next, we look at some big changes on Realtor.ca 🖥️, where price changes will now be clearly displayed — making it easier than ever for buyers and sellers to track market shifts.

We dig into the truth about specializing in high-end homes 💎, how agents often handle over-priced listings, and why transparency around offers is more limited than you might think.

As hurricane season approaches 🌪️, we share essential storm-prep tips (think gas, food, and heat) and talk about some of the quirky realities of selling in PEI — like the never-ending struggle of keeping a sign up on Beer Street.

Finally, we explain how the Island is divided on the MLS® so buyers and sellers can better understand how listings are categorized — a must-know for anyone serious about PEI real estate.
