Episode notes

Should I invest now or wait? How do I set up my children for financial success? What do top agents do to stand out in the market? These are all questions of real estate investors, agents, and onlookers who wait to see what’s next in the 2022 housing market. With so much uncertainty around us and an environment of intense competition, it can be a struggle to know what move is the right one or whether or not to sit out of the game entirely.
