When the Numbers Don’t Add Up: Lessons from a Tough Listing Appointment
Last week, I experienced one of those moments that remind you why real estate is both challenging and eye-opening. In our latest YouTube video, I share a case study from a recent listing appointment that left us all facing some hard truths.
We met with a seller who, three years ago in 2022, had invested in a property at $365,000 expecting a solid return on his investment. However, after running the numbers and reviewing the current market, we had to deliver the reality: in today’s market, his property could only fetch between $320,000 and $325,000. Comparable properties were even lower, around $311,000 to $312,000. Hearing this was painful for him—and it was for us, too. We saw firsthand the impact of a decision made without proper guidance and the consequences that follow.
In the video, I break down the case study, explaining the factors that led to this situation and the lessons we can all learn from it. It’s a raw look at what happens when the numbers just don’t add up, and why working with experienced professionals is crucial—whether you’re buying, selling, or investing in real estate.
If you’re looking for honest insights and real-world examples of navigating tough deals, I invite you to watch the full video on our YouTube channel. Discover why experience matters and how you can avoid these pitfalls in your own investment journey.
