Survey says, even Steve Harvey could have benefited from a “coming soon” preview period (more on that below). His Georgia estate has now come down from $5.1 million to $4.75 million after more than 100 days on the market. The property spans nearly 17,700 square feet and includes a grand ballroom-style entertaining level, multiple terraces and balconies, and views over the Chattahoochee River—but even this rolling estate isn’t above a strong pricing strategy. 😉

There are early adopters and then there’s Andrew Jevin. Andrew started using Snapchat and social media to promote his real estate listings all the way back in 2014—earning him the tongue-in-cheek nickname “the Snapping Realtor.” Not only did that early beginning help him gain a massive following over the past decade, it’s helped him close huge deals in the Greater LA area with clients who found him online. Catch Andrew’s advice for staying true to your creative self, attracting the kind of clients who want to be a part of the journey, and overcoming agent loneliness in this conversation on Glennda’s Guru.

A growing number of homeowners say they want to move, but many are hesitating because the decision feels riskier than it used to. Some are locked into homes they bought when mortgage rates were lower, and many are wary of listing into a market where pricing too high at the start can lead to multiple price reductions later. According to a recent Redfin survey, that uncertainty is making many sellers more interested in a lower-commitment first step that lets them gauge pricing and buyer interest before fully going to market.

According to the survey:

📖 Distressed deals.  Making the most of foreclosures, drug dens, and bargain bin properties. 

👀 $5M flip. Drew Barrymore’s 280-year old Westchester home is back on the market with a fabulous facelift. 

👀 Behind the Listings. See the $7.5M home with penthouse views of every LA landmark. 

💡 Play it safe. The biggest misconception in social media for real estate agents is this one false belief. 

💡 Profit gap. This factor can increase your listing’s value by 3%—or sink it 14%.
