Episode 18: Switching Teams & Sky-High Pricing: Juan Soto’s MLB Shockwave, Airline Woes, and Long Island’s Real Estate Hustle
What happens when a baseball superstar switches teams, shaking up the sport's financial landscape? Join us as we explore the seismic shift in Major League Baseball with Juan Soto’s jaw-dropping $765 million move from the Yankees to the Mets. We share our personal feelings on this epic transition and compare it to the dynastic ambitions of the Dodgers, drawing intriguing parallels to the Golden State Warriors' era. With a nod to Shohei Ohtani's global impact, we sprinkle in stories from Yankee Stadium that highlight the fervent rivalry between Yankees and Mets fans, all with an eye on the unique financial dynamics that make big contracts possible in a league without a salary cap.
Taking a turn from sports to the skies, we address the frustration of airline pricing strategies. From surprise fees at budget airlines like Spirit to the mental challenges of flying, especially in turbulent weather, we offer personal anecdotes that reveal the highs and lows of modern air travel. To round out our discussion, we shift to the bustling real estate market of Long Island, where competitive pricing and dropping interest rates are causing a frenzy among buyers. The excitement of open houses and the potential for properties to sell above asking price underscores the dynamic strategies required to succeed in today’s market. Tune in for a compelling blend of sports, travel, and real estate insights that promises to keep you engaged and informed.
Welcome to Sudo with Baez podcast and I'm here with Angelo Baez, the co-host. And I'm Alex Baez. And what an interesting week. First holidays around the corner again, yeah. But damn, Juan Soto man, I am pissed.
Speaker 2:What happened with Juan Soto?
Speaker 1:To be honest with you. So, juan Soto, you know he came to the Yankees for a year. I knew that was going to happen. To be honest, he came for a year, he was traded from the Padres to the Yankees and he signed the biggest contract right now, and that will be more than Even contract right now, and that will be more than Even bigger than Ohtani, Unbelievable.
Speaker 1:You know. I'll be honest with you, I would have let him go. I'm happy the Yankees let Juan Soto go Because you know, with all respect, I don't think the guy is worth that money. His outfield is not the best.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:His batting. You know he does his thing, but his outfield he's not worth it.
Speaker 2:Gotcha.
Speaker 1:To be honest with you, I mean the Mets man. Shout out to that Mets owner. I know he's a billionaire, he's nuts. Yeah, how much is it? $765 million for 15 years.
Speaker 2:And I believe our coworker, Chris, was saying that he had a sign-up bonus or something like that.
Speaker 1:For $75 million. Wow, I'll be honest with you. I see the Mets. They're trying their best. They're never going to take down the Dodgers. It's one of the hardest teams to take down to Dodgers. Right now, they look like they're going to be the head of that movie for some time. Right now.
Speaker 2:They're going to be like a little dynasty forming.
Speaker 1:They're like the Warriors.
Speaker 2:Remember when the Warriors was the dynasty.
Speaker 1:Every year they were going to the finals. That's what I see in the Dodgers. I honestly I'm happy the Yankees let him go. Of course he was a big help, right, did a lot of home runs. I think he did over 40 home runs, but he was not worth $765 million.
Speaker 2:I heard that Aaron Judge he actually declined a higher offer to stay with the Yankees at one point he's a real Yankee man.
Speaker 1:He's got to be a Yankee man, die hard Yankee fan man.
Speaker 2:I'll be honest. You said that when you went to Yankee Stadium one time, they went crazy with the liquor and everything. Yeah, that's one thing, yankee Stadium man, you guys go in there.
Speaker 1:I don't suggest bringing your kids, especially if it's a big time game, like a playoff game, like a playoff game, or, you know, yankees versus Red Sox, yankees versus Mets, like those games are intense. Don't bring your kids around because you know Yankee fans. They go nuts with these beers. They just start throwing it everywhere. It's funny, right, but then sometimes you just want to watch the game and just be relaxed, you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, not covered with a bunch of alcohol everywhere. And you said that you also, heidi. She's a Mets fan.
Speaker 1:Yeah, my wife, she's confused.
Speaker 2:I've been trying to help her out with this big issue.
Speaker 1:Heidi has with these Mets. She's confused. I always tell her that. That's the bad thing in my household. My kids are confused. So, levi, one day he says the Yankees, one day he says the Mets. And I always get mad at him. I'm like don't ever say that here You're a Yankee fan. We're Yankee fans, hardcore, but I'm happy the Yankees let him go. Yankees should start really focusing on free agency. Start picking up players.
Speaker 2:Pitchers right.
Speaker 1:Pitchers, first baseman. I like PL picking a player. I would have let him go in a heartbeat. The Yankees actually made a good offer. They made $760 million for 16 years, Extra year. But of course he's making more money, Way more money. We're talking about probably over $50 million more with the Mets. He's still in New York, right. Of course. He's still with a team that I don't see them going anywhere. Now he's still with a team that I don't see them going anywhere. He is, you know. Now he's going to be the head of the team. He's the star of the team, right? He was always going to be Judge Shadow. He wasn't going to be who he is now with the Mets, right. I don't think they're going to ever find another superstar on top of him for now, but I really think think you know, it was crazy the good thing about mob there's no cap, so they could go I always wondered about that, because is there a luxury tax in the mob, like in the nba, where once you go over a threshold it starts becoming very expensive too?
Speaker 1:mob is different. They go as far as they want with their contracts, their offers. So I'll be honest with you he did definitely change the market, but atani was the one that definitely changed at all yeah, he started.
Speaker 2:Atani was 700 yeah, I think for otani it actually makes sense for all that money, because he's also like he brings all of japan with him, like that's, that's a whole country that comes along with it.
Speaker 2:And I had that discussion with chris, well, where we were basically saying that you know his value comes not just from, like, his superstar stats and stuff, but also because you know he's representing a whole country. And when they and when you were in the world series, you saw all of these Japanese viewers just they said that this is actually the most like views ever. Yeah.
Speaker 1:History was now because honestly was, honestly it was. You have new york, la, and japan, like it's like three countries bro right the population is crazy. So everyone was viewing these uh world series. Unfortunately didn't go our route. But, dodges, we coming for you, yeah no, absolutely, no, absolutely, we're going to run it again with Dodgers.
Speaker 2:I think the reason why I brought up the Mets too is because I think at one point you, Heidi, had taken you to a game in the Mets and it wasn't as intense. Right, there was no throwing of liquor and all of that.
Speaker 1:Honestly, the Mets game is so boring it's very like laid back Everybody's just too frowned. It's like on where I was sitting, I was like very like boring you go to. Yankee Stadium, anywhere you sit, it's like it's always one enough talking.
Speaker 2:It's like no, but it's definitely not for kids, because they, they go crazy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure, yeah but I'm happy to let Juan Soto go. Best of luck, kid. To be honest with you, we ain't getting no rings.
Speaker 2:So good luck, buddy, take care no let him go.
Speaker 1:Once you leave me, once you leave the yankees, I say we ain't family, brother right.
Speaker 2:You know, the other day I was coming back from the airport bringing my significant other back to their place and I saw all these people kind of steering traffic and I was like yo, what's going on? And then, um, I got told that the ceo of united healthcare got assassinated and I was like is this why there was so many people directing traffic? That was crazy.
Speaker 1:I didn't even know that I'll be honest with you. In manhattan I saw the video. I'll be honest with you, this guy a professional he had I've never seen. You know you see videos on new york city but I've never seen a gun with a silencer in new york city like in video, like it looked like a hitman game, to be honest with you, like the hitman game, yeah, honestly, looked just like it.
Speaker 2:Like this guy came with a silencer, shot three times and then left in a bicycle and a city bike right.
Speaker 1:He honestly did it really smart. He went in a city bike. I think he went 5th to 6th Avenue, then he came back through 5th and then he went straight out through Central Park. Why did he go through Central Park? There's no cameras in Central Park. It's like whoever did this they really planned it out right.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:You know my understanding. They still don't even have the person's name. They have footage, but, Like his face, His face, but it's like.
Speaker 2:Do you think that's actually him?
Speaker 1:It doesn't look like him and I'll be honest, I feel like the cops are just putting anything out there right now, Because you know they got to give results. It's New York City, Right. It happened in one of the most expensive hotels in the area. You know we're talking about CEO of one of the most expensive healthcare, so it's like you know, I do see that the population is very happy that they killed this guy.
Speaker 2:There's a lot of celebration going on because the fact is that a lot of people kind of like look at him and say, hey, you were part of the problem why some people weren't getting insured and you cost the lives of millions. So whenever people are saying like you know, uh, children and a wife just lost the father and husband, they're going okay. But you know, he was the reason why a lot of other people lost their lives because they weren't crazy man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that I I mean. When I saw in the video I thought it was fake yeah, I was like whoa new york city right at 6.45 am.
Speaker 2:There was a guy that said he almost took a picture of him right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was a guy, a cab driver. He was trying to follow him. The guy ended up taking the city bike, went all over the city and went straight to Central Park Unbelievable.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:So it seemed like it was very planned. They found the guy's book bag. I don't even know. They found his book bag and they actually found Monopoly money in it. So I don't know if the guy's playing a game with them, but I would say the guy definitely did his thing right. It seems like it was very planned. It looked like a very professional. Also, the shooter looked like he's a professional shooter. I mean it was very shocking to see a video like that, a professional shooter like I.
Speaker 2:I mean it was very shocking to see a video like that you know killing someone so huge like that, right, you know so, and I think, um, if I don't remember, if I remember correctly, I heard something about like a note being left behind that said something along the lines of like on the bullets, uh, yeah I think it was I don't know if it was on the bullets.
Speaker 1:On the bullet was the fan for the other ones.
Speaker 2:Uh, no delay, deny and then defend.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, and that's like it's a message straight, right, you know it was a message that he definitely sent across and Because that's actually what insurance companies and attorneys do.
Speaker 2:They delay the process, so people get discouraged from going through the process of litigation or insurance claims. Then you deny it right and then, worst comes to worst, you defend it. So that's like their tactics and that's what he kind of used.
Speaker 1:That was very hurt. But I will say something. They definitely knew his schedule. It looks like an in-house. To be honest it looks. You know we had there's so much suspicious going on. You don't really know what's going on, but I hope they get to the bottom of it.
Speaker 2:You know it's a pretty interesting case, to be honest with you yeah, and now a lot of other ceos from like these major insurance companies and you know companies that don't get the best you know public eye are now afraid. You know the ceos because they're going like what if I'm next? So, yeah, now they're. A lot of them are kind of like um, I'm under the impression that a lot of them will beef up security for their ceos and whatnot. After this incident, especially how, how the general public basically took it where everyone's just like basically celebrating the death of this guy, which is kind of crazy.
Speaker 1:But yeah, it's crazy to celebrate someone's death. For me, yeah, that's that's crazy. His reputation must have been really bad, oh yeah he must have had like the most hate. He should have really been with you should. Knowing that he had so much hate, he should have definitely had security guards with him yeah up and down. Definitely, being the ceo, he should have been and was able to afford it too, but it's unbelievable that this guy did it right in the middle of a really hot city, you know.
Speaker 2:Fifth avenue right it's crazy I think another thing that we have here right is that the airline executives are under fire from the us senators for raising fees on services like check bags and seat selections. Us airlines made over $7 billion from checkout bag fees last year. The Biden administration is pushing for automatic cash refunds for canceled tickets, but airlines are fighting back against new regulations and this legal battle could reshape airline pricing in the future. So what do you think about that?
Speaker 1:I'll be honest with you. Me and Heidi travel a lot and it's definitely annoying. At this point you buy a flight let's say $500, and then you go in there and then you got to pay for every little thing. It's becoming like Spirit everything Right.
Speaker 1:I was just about to say Everything is like Spirit, the Spirit airline. It's the worst service and they want to charge you for every little thing. So they catch you. It's like a catch. They put the flights at a good price. You think it's a good price? Ah, I'm only paying $400. When you walk out of there, you're paying $600. The other day my mom flew out and I was like she paid for is just this is ridiculous at this point.
Speaker 1:Airlines definitely are taking advantage. I feel like they are definitely. You know, especially you know what happened was that during COVID, there were a lot of people flying. Now that COVID is over, what's still happening? It's not so intense, people are just used to it. It's more like it's more intense now. So what they're doing is that for everything they're charging for you now even to pick a seat this ridiculous. You could go all the way to the back to pick a seat another 80, 90 dollars I think that was another thing that they were.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so they they do with the seats right. They do it with the seats right. They do it with the luggage right, of course, for the food, sometimes they do it for the drink. Everything is like every little thing. They charge you. You want to upgrade your seat, sometimes it's just one in front of you extra $85. I just bought some flights, literally about like two weeks ago, and just to pick the seats I had to pay per for me, heidi Levi, lexi, I had to pay, I think it was $85, $75 per person, wow Plus additionally the ticket, and now when you get to the airport, you got to pay for your luggage.
Speaker 2:My goodness, what about carry-on?
Speaker 1:No, you got to do carry-on, but on Spirit, if you do carry-on you got to put it inside like a box, and if it's bigger Than inside the box you gotta pay $100 For the carry on.
Speaker 2:Oh, my god yeah.
Speaker 1:And you see a lot of people Post like on TikTok, on Facebook, like, hey, you know, we just we didn't, they didn't let us Go on the flight Because we didn't Want to pay the carry on. And you and it fits perfectly. They're like no, it's sticking out. It could just be like one arm sticking out, that's it. They counted out. You cannot bring it in. I actually happened to one of my brothers we actually flew to Texas, right and I kept telling him like dude Spirit, it was my first time taking a survival flight. I will never take Spirit, it's the worst.
Speaker 2:They went in bankruptcy now.
Speaker 1:Yes, they did file for it.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so I went on. Spirit and the plane's full, the chairs, the seats uncomfortable. Secondly, you're like in the air. Honestly, it was one of the most scariest flights I've ever been on Right.
Speaker 1:So there was a lot of turbulence. But you know, I guess the I don't know the plane was not built right, I don't know. So he and my brother, we end up going and he actually was carrying a bag, it was actually small and literally he's about to go inside with us to the airplane. When they stopped him at the line they were like, hey, you come here. And he's like, yeah, charge him $100. And he literally like his bag was really empty. He, the only reason he brought that bag is that's the only bag he had at home. So the bag looked big but it was really empty. Anyhow, we only stayed for two, three days. We went to one of my brother's because one of my brother's in the Army, so we went out there to Texas. Then we drove from Texas to OKC. Wow, yeah, oh my God. But honestly it was like one of the most scariest flights I ever took with Spirit.
Speaker 2:And that flights I ever take with spirit and that was the first and last time I ever take a spirit. It's the worst airline, worst service and they're really like taking advantage with these prices, right you?
Speaker 1:pay what you, uh, you get what you pay for. Yeah, you know, we do real estate, so we always got seminars everywhere, right, we always got to fly out. We. One time, the whole team, we went to detroit with heidi, right, uh, by the way, i'm'm scared of planes, man.
Speaker 2:As you and Chris witnessed.
Speaker 1:Chris was laughing the whole time. I'm scared of planes, that's one thing. I'm scared of heights. Right, me too. Me too, I'm scared of heights. You guys are really calm.
Speaker 2:But I'm not scared of the planes. I'm scared of when I'm going somewhere right and I see down Like I don't like when I'm in a flight I don't really see like the bottom, I'm just like cruising, so I don't really get that flight thing. But when I'm in roller coasters or anywhere where I can see like the bottom right there kind of if it makes sense, that's when I get scared yes yeah, especially like in a ferris wheel or something, when it's shaking.
Speaker 1:You know when it's bad for me, yeah it's when it's going up I'll start thinking the worst. Oh, the acceleration yeah, I start thinking the worst. I'm like yo, we literally in the air, oh my god this plane goes down. We're done.
Speaker 2:I think the worst have you ever took a flight when there's a lightning storm or something like that? I did when I was a kid. Yeah, it was scary.
Speaker 1:It was scary turbulence and you know, you started like oh my god, god, please give me one more chance. You, you start saying crazy prayers in your mind. I do that all the time, like come on God, you know I'm like damn man. This is like scary. I went to. It was funny. I actually flew out with my mom to DR and also to my one of my friends. I was actually the best man.
Speaker 1:So I had to go. So Lexi was literally just born. And that flight, when we were coming back, my mom was sitting next to me. She was like you all right, you all right son Every two minutes. Yeah, mom, good, but deep down man, I was suffering.
Speaker 2:Oh man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure, man, I'll be honest with you guys. Don't fly in spirit. Worst flight ever.
Speaker 2:Which was the best flight that you've taken? What airline has been probably the best experience in Europe?
Speaker 1:I like the American airline. I think it's like the chairs are comfortable. They also, I think, american airline, the service Delta, american definitely. Jetblue is another one I don't like.
Speaker 2:You don't like JetBlue.
Speaker 1:No, no, not at all.
Speaker 2:Not at all.
Speaker 1:But what was Delta? Well, I think I would say American airline. I think it's the one.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I was about to say did you ever go on United Emirates or whatever?
Speaker 1:No, I've never been on that one. No, I believe that's the name of it. I usually go to either American or Delta. Those are the two I always go to.
Speaker 2:Yeah, those are the two most popular ones, I believe, yeah. And then you got JetBlue, which is a little bit more affordable, right?
Speaker 1:From what I heard, DR I used to go a lot they always have delays. That's like their biggest thing is always having delays. You know you go and you always delay two to three hours Like be ready to be delayed, Like for some reason they look like they start getting ready once people start arriving to the plane. Really, yeah, it's not so bad like Spirit, right, but Spirit definitely has a really bad reputation.
Speaker 2:Right, because my significant other. She travels a lot and she uses JetBlue a lot. I've never really heard her complain about JetBlue, so I think she's just gotten lucky man yeah she got lucky man yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean everyone gets their own experience, but Spirit, I think what I'm saying is like the most accurate, because everyone I see talks about Spirit right it.
Speaker 2:I think what I'm saying is like the most accurate, because everyone I see talks about spirit. Right, so I'll turn you into a spirit. Yeah, oh my God.
Speaker 1:Yeah, for sure. I just want to share guys. I've been seeing something good with the market.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, packed open houses.
Speaker 1:Guys. By the way, rates are dropping drastically. Reach out to Heidi. I would prefer Lander. Heidi buys, I go rascal. So I've been seeing that they're high fives, low six. I mean you're starting to see the change with these rates. So you know how was your? You had an open house this weekend yes, we did.
Speaker 2:We had one over there in long island and it was in low island.
Speaker 1:How was it?
Speaker 2:it was crazy, chris can attest to that because there were so many people coming in. Chris had gotten there a little bit earlier than probably like around 40 minutes early, and he was setting up and there was already like four people waiting outside.
Speaker 1:Just following him as well. Let me ask you a question how many buyers do you think went on Saturday?
Speaker 2:I think on Saturday we probably had around 45 buyers or something wow yeah, what about on sunday?
Speaker 1:because I know you decided sunday right on sunday.
Speaker 2:I know we had less than 40 because we printed out 48 sheets and we only got halfway through them. So probably probably around like 20, 25, so 60 to 70 buyers in total.
Speaker 1:Wow, so wow 60 to 70 buyers in total. Wow, so wow. 60 to 70 buyers in one house, and this is a single family.
Speaker 2:Single family yeah.
Speaker 1:Wow. So we're talking about 70 buyers. So look what's going to happen, guys. Guess what's happening Right now we're getting over asking drastically. Yeah, why? Because right now the rates drop, right. So what happens is that it creates what demand and people want the house and people start offering over asking. So once those rates continue dropping remember we also are in the holiday month, right. Usually the holidays is not so busy because everyone is more into the holiday spirit really.
Speaker 1:So for them to do that. You know for 60 to 70 buyers. You know they want to take advantage of the market with the rates yeah, now that you did say it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it is winter, you know, and usually you see it slow down right now, but my goodness, that was one of the craziest open houses we've ever had. I know that you were trying to call us, but we couldn't even answer you because we just couldn't handle it.
Speaker 1:I knew you guys were going to be busy because that week I got over 100 calls.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, we have so many views on Zillow.
Speaker 1:What was the estimate of views you saw? I saw as far as like 5,000, 6,000.
Speaker 2:No, it went up to, I think, around 7,000.
Speaker 1:Jesus Christ. For one house, 7,000 viewers.
Speaker 2:You know, wow. They're reaching out to us in all types of manners, like emails, calls, texts. They were even reaching out to our broker at one point, because we couldn't handle responding to all of them.
Speaker 1:Jesus Christ. Yeah, the man is real for that house oh absolutely.
Speaker 1:That's also the importance, like you always say, at setting it at the right price, like a good competitive price. Just to start off with yeah to my sellers out there always price your property right, because the more demand, the more you're going to sell the property right. I honestly just briefly looked at my emails. I saw over 20 offers already on this property. The demand is huge on this low island, so to all the homeowners over there, sometimes you want a price extremely high and what you do is actually push the buyers away.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:To be honest with you, and when you have the right marketing and the right team that can help you market and get the home sold, it's going to sell and a lot of people are going to come. We priced it good to sell right.
Speaker 2:We we priced it good to sell. Right, we priced it at a good price, to be honest with you. No, we priced it to sell. That's the difference between pricing it to stay on the market and get your luck to try and see if you get a buyer, and then pricing it to sell where it's like it's going to sell no matter what, and we're going to let the market decide how well it's going to.
Speaker 1:I got in like so many buyers. You know, this is the only situation that makes me uncomfortable. I feel for people because not for now I got a genuine heart, so I feel a lot for people. So I got in a row like a few buyers that call me and they actually like begging me to get an offer, Like they want the offer to get accepted, and they're like I just can't, can you do this, Can you do that? So maybe your highest and best right.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So maybe your highest and best.
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I met like two very wonderful people over there and I'm like, with these offers coming in, it's kind of crazy because you really feel for them.
Speaker 1:You go like this home is perfect for us.
Speaker 2:This is just what we were looking for, and we're like, oh man, it's going to be tough.
Speaker 1:All I tell all those buyers is some of your highest and best right, Because we have to come in and present it to the sellers. But some of your highest and best, and if the house is for you, it's going to happen. Guys, I always say that.
Speaker 2:And if you really want it open house and you already have an agent, just remember anything that you kind of find out in the open house, because we've been disclosing like all the things that came with the house, like the conditions that the seller was putting on the sale price as well, like selling as is. You know, solar panels, yeah, open permits and stuff. Like they need to be comfortable with that. Some buyers agree to it and they don't even know what it is.
Speaker 1:So you know, I want to say a point out. There is very big for me to all those, to all my fellows realtors, brokers, guys. I know you guys have this bad habit of sending your buyers to these open houses. Guys, be there with your client, you know, it's not just sending them, it's being part of their and helping in this process, because most of the buyers don't know what they're doing. And that's what we're here for to educate them, guide them right and to protect them right. In this case, this house particular, we're selling it with open permit, right. We're selling it was also a solo panel that has a lease. We're giving all this information right to the client because you're not there and then you're giving us a call and I find it like you should be there with your client.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because we've had some agents.
Speaker 1:It's just not fair that you just throw them. It's like throwing someone and I'm sorry to cut you off. It's like throwing someone in a pool that doesn't know how to swim. How are you going to feel? You know, you're going to feel like where you're gonna feel like where's my, where's my lifeguard? You know I'm saying where's my.
Speaker 2:You know, and it's just not fair when I see that these agents, brokers, like we, don't do that to our clients, we, we, even if it's an open house, we go and show it to them yeah, we try our best, but we know that things are like busy sometimes, right, but if you're able to go with your client, you should, you should, you should never like try and have your clients go to an open house by themselves, especially when it's such a high-demand home like that one, where you know there's just going to be competition. There's some that you know that have been in the market for some time and you know that there might not be without it, especially for those first-time buyers.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if you can't go, send one of your fellow, one of your, one of the realtors in your company or something, but is there a first time buyer especially like, I mean, come on, because most people, when we talk to them, you know we could, and especially if they have their realtors right. That's another thing. A lot of buyers have this bad habit of calling us while they already have a realtor. So why are you hiring that realtor? He's not, you know, giving you the service the correct way. Why are you calling me? Well, my realtor's not available, then you want to work with him. You know what I'm saying, but then you know now we're doing your realtor's job right. So it's more, go out there and show your client, your house and come contact me so I could give you all their information and me and you, me and the other professional. You know. All love to all the professionals out there, though, but let's do a better job at showing these houses where your client even if it's an open house guys go out there, show it to them absolutely.
Speaker 2:I mean, I think the biggest thing that we took away from packed open houses over and over again, especially in this one, is that they don't know what we tell them sometimes because they agree just to like, kind of like, go see the house. We try to communicate as best as possible, but then they they'll go to their agent and they'll basically tell them I want the home, submit this offer and stuff. And then we just go over with the agent like, okay, we just want to confirm that they're okay with this, this and this. And then the agent kind of goes oh, this Open permit.
Speaker 1:So one thing that we do, that's really good right for our sellers.
Speaker 1:we order the title report and we get a heads up what's going on. So right, it's good, because you don't want no surprises in your transaction, right? So what we do is so it could be a smooth transaction we put everything out there for the clients and then we let you decide to do what you would like to do, knowing that we're selling the property, we're open permits, with all this stuff. Right, we let the client decide. But you have it upfront. It's not like you go in contract and wait till the buyer orders title. We already have the title report for you guys.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Right. So we always a step ahead of the whole process. But to all the buyers over there, I think the bidding war is coming back to the market. Definitely start buying. I think January February is going to be. It's going to get very interesting. A new president is coming in on January 5th, so let's see what he does with the market, but it's going to be an interesting ride. What I recommend guys go buy your home soon and buy your house again. So make sure you guys buy your house. Guys, thank you for joining our podcast. Please like subscribe.
