The Selling Houses Podcast
Professional Realtor Tyler Robb along with Mortgage Specialist Paul Dueck explore a wide variety of topics centered around buying and selling real estate in one of Canada’s most interesting markets, Winnipeg Manitoba. Central Canada doesn’t share the same ebbs and flows as other major city centers, Winnipeg is a high activity market where it is traditionally challenging for buyers to secure a home. Tyler & Paul (along with some other industry experts) discuss strategies for writing offers, how to navigate mortgage financing, along with tips and tricks on how to get the best deal no matter if you’re buying or selling!

Is going with a new build the better option compared to an existing home? That depends.

Buying and selling real estate can be a very stressful and emotional process. However, it can not be over stated that leaving your emotions out of it when writing offers or considering one on your own listing is so important. Too many times sellers have let good offers walk because their starting point was "insulting" or buyers missed out on their dream home because they were too scared to listen to their Realtors advice.
This week Tyler & Paul dive into what it takes to check your emotions at the door during a real estate transaction and how to keep your approach all business... because that's what it is. A business transaction.
