NOVAK NEWS - REAL ESTATE RED FLAGS
In this energetic and unfiltered edition of Novak News, Mark and Lisa Novak tackle the theme of real estate red flags, boldly calling out the “BS” they encounter daily in the property industry. They share real examples of problematic buyers—like ghost buyers who make grand offers and vanish, and those requesting excessive cooling-off periods as stalling tactics. They also expose issues with unrealistic buyer advisors and family interference that derails confident decisions. The Novaks emphasize how easy it is to spot red flags when working at volume and call for more transparency and realism from all parties involved.
They also scrutinize vendor red flags, such as sellers with inflated price expectations, secretive tendencies around defects, or resistance to standard marketing practices. The conversation then shifts to agents, highlighting dangers like commission cutting, inexperience with specific property types, and agents more focused on their image than genuine service. They stress that a low commission often means cutbacks in quality and urge sellers to sign short agency agreements when uncertain. Through stories, humor, and candid advice, the Novaks aim to empower viewers to recognize and avoid the traps that frequently derail successful property transactions.
