lthough ‘Listing Impossible’ is a new show, do you have

a favorite episode thus far, with or without you in it, and
what is the best part of being on the show for you?
It’s a little too early to tell, but what I have appreciated about the
feedback regarding Listing Impossible is that people within
the real estate community, and those outside of it, have
watched the show and commented how they feel it is
a true representation of what it takes to sell difficult
homes. I’ve gotten communications from all around the
country from people who say they really liked the show,
were engaged, and they appreciated our professional
attitude. I have gotten business inquiries from people
seeing the show, which is an opportunity I’m very
thankful for.
S
pecializing in luxury real estate, what
advice would you give to a buyer client who’s just
getting their feet wet buying for the first time in the
upper tier housing market?
The advice I would give to someone looking to buy in
the luxury tier market is the exact same advice I would
give to a first-time homebuyer. Know your purchasing
power and stick to it. Do not buy beyond your means,
and make sure that the mortgage is not something that is
causing you stress. The housing process should be something
that is a joyous experience. Of course, it’s a business, it can
be tedious, and it can be very taxing, but at the end of the
day the journey is well worth it. Another thing to note, if
you’re buying in the luxury tier, be ready to pay for it. Sellers
have expensive taste, and they expect to be compensated for it.
