This is my 24th year in the real estate industry, and it never ceases to amaze me why realtors never stray from their script.
The majority of the agents today got licensed only 3 years ago and they have no idea what a normal market is -- and this is not a normal market. They don't know how to deal with it.
A housing recession is coming in the Woodbury market and today I explain why it's a healthy thing for my industry.
We have some dark days coming, so should wait to sell? Also, the types of homes that are seeing higher interest from buyers right now, and why we need to see home buying and selling differently as we head into 2023.
That's all coming up on the Raw Real Estate Podcast.

Coming up today on the Raw Real Estate podcast I say what needs to be said -- the real estate industry needs to change, and here's how.

The real estate marketplace in Minnesota is shifting, and as we move forward into 2023, I have 5 strategies if you're planning on selling your home. These strategies are more important today than at any time over the last two years. Before today homes saw multiple offers and sold within hours of being listed. That's not the case anymore. We are getting back to more of a balanced market which means we have to be strategic when putting your home up for sale. Chapters: 1:00 Do your research on the real estate professional you're hiring 2:17 The importance of pricing your home ahead of the market 4:28 Why you shouldn't start any home improvements without consulting a real estate professional. 5:50 Don't limit your showing availability 7:33 The importance of timing the market If you have any questions or would like to see what's on the luxury market in Woodbury, MN, head here: www.WadeHanson.com
This week we are running down the most important questions to ask anyone that will represent you on the sale of your biggest asset.

Are you full-time? 2. Are you an expert in the local market 3. Do you have a support staff? 4. How many homes have you sold in the last 12 months? 5. How long have you been an agent? 6. Do you actually have a marketing plan? Are you going to market my home? 7. Do you have buyers looking for a home like mine? 8. How much do you charge and why do you charge that? 9. Will they be working with you or a member of your team? 10. Do your research -- read their reviews.
Chapter markers: 1:50 The single biggest question you should ask 2:26 Are you an expert? 3:00 What support do they have? 4:20 Why it's necessary to go back 12 months 6:05 Why you can't just put a sign in the yard and hope for 20 showings 7:50 Do they have a marketing plan specific to your home? 10:12 How much do they charge, and why? 11:28 Will they be working with just you? 12:57 Do your homework, and here's what homework you need to do Contact me with questions, or take a look at what's available in Woodbury, MN: www.WadeHanson.com
