Episode Overview

In this episode of the Real Estate Agent Man Podcast, hosts Ian and Angela explore the "Florida Inspection Bluff," a buyer strategy in Florida real estate that leverages the inspection period to renegotiate prices. They break down how it works, signs to watch for, and why it can fail, with a real-world case study. A must-listen for anyone navigating real estate negotiations.

Key Topics and Timestamps

• [0:00] Introduction
  Steve welcomes listeners from over 1000 cities across 74 countries, introducing the episode’s focus on the Florida Inspection Bluff, a common buyer tactic.
• [0:34] What is the Florida Inspection Bluff?
  Ian and Angela introduce the concept, describing it as a high-stakes negotiation tactic where buyers use inspections to demand price reductions.
• [1:02] Deep Dive into the Strategy
  The hosts explain how buyers offer a higher price to secure a property, then use the inspection report as leverage to negotiate a lower price.
• [2:13] Role of the “As-Is” Contract
  Discussion of Florida’s “as-is” contract, which includes a broad inspection contingency allowing buyers to back out for any reason and recover their earnest money deposit (e.g., “I don’t like the mailbox” [3:19]).
• [3:25] Red Flags for Sellers
  Key signs of the bluff include buyers focusing on the age of big-ticket items (e.g., roof, AC) after inspections, despite these details often being available upfront [3:35].
• [4:30] Case Study: Brad and Shelley
  The hosts introduce a case study of Brad and Shelley, house hunting in Venice, Florida, for a specific property under $400,000 [4:38]. They detail the couple’s tactic of securing two properties under contract simultaneously [5:58].
• [6:19] The Bluff in Action
  Brad and Shelley’s enthusiastic inspection performance (e.g., measuring furniture, getting unnecessary pool cage quotes) is described, followed by their sudden demand for a price reduction or cancellation that night [8:20].
• [8:49] Why the Bluff Failed
  The sellers’ preparedness with a signed backup offer allowed them to reject the ultimatum and move forward with the backup buyers instantly [9:04].
• [10:01] Key Takeaways
  Lessons for buyers (know the risks), sellers (secure backup offers), and anyone interested in negotiation dynamics. The bluff relies on the “as-is” contract loophole, but preparation can neutralize it [10:12].
• [11:40] Closing and Call to Action
  Steve encourages listeners to visit sliceofflorida.com and subscribe for more real estate insights.

Navigating Buyer Broker Agreements 

Episode Overview

In this episode, host Steve Martin Smith, joined by attorney Lauren Cole and his wife Katrina, tackles the complexities and confusion surrounding buyer broker agreements in Florida real estate. They discuss recent changes in real estate rules, share real-world stories of buyers being pressured into signing agreements, and clarify what consumers need to know to protect themselves. This episode is essential for anyone navigating the home-buying process in a shifting market.

Key Topics and Timestamps

• [0:00] Introduction
  Steve introduces the episode, welcoming attorney Lauren Cole and his wife Katrina to discuss buyer broker agreements and their impact on Florida home buyers.
• [1:02] Why Buyer Broker Agreements Matter
  Steve highlights the confusion among buyers due to inconsistent agent practices post-2024 rule changes, emphasizing the need for clarity with Lauren’s legal expertise.
• [3:36] Katrina’s Story: A Cautionary Tale
  Katrina shares an uncomfortable experience at a showing where a late-arriving agent pressured buyers to sign a buyer broker agreement on the spot, without prior introduction, using the property as a meeting point [5:00]. The agent misrepresented the agreement as a “formality” [6:48], raising ethical concerns.
• [7:27] Real-Life Examples of Misunderstandings
  Steve recounts cases of buyers, including an 80-year-old client, being rushed to sign agreements without time to read them, committing to unknown agents for extended periods [7:27]. Another buyer faced issues with a protection period clause, nearly owing a commission on a for-sale-by-owner deal [10:00].
• [10:00] Types of Agreements
  Lauren explains the differences between Florida Association of Realtors’ buyer broker agreements (offering transaction broker, single agent, or no broker options) and other brokerages’ agreements, which may misrepresent the level of representation [10:00].
• [14:30] Importance of Meeting Agents First
  Steve discusses his brokerage’s policy of meeting clients at the office before showings to review agreements thoroughly, ensuring buyers understand their obligations [15:00]. Katrina notes buyers are often shocked to learn they’re responsible for broker fees [15:24].
• [16:46] Benefits of a Buyer’s Agent in a Buyer’s Market
  The discussion shifts to why a dedicated buyer’s agent can secure better deals than going directly to the listing agent, who acts as a neutral transaction broker [16:46]. Steve emphasizes the value of experienced agents with local knowledge [20:00].
• [20:51] Flexibility in Agreements
  Lauren explains that buyers can work with multiple brokers for different property types (e.g., condos vs. single-family homes) or areas, and suggests starting with shorter agreements (e.g., 30 days) to build trust [20:51].
• [25:00] Protecting Consumers
  Steve and Lauren stress that agreements should protect buyers, not just brokers. Buyers can modify terms, strike clauses, or consult an attorney like Lauren to ensure fairness [25:00].
• [26:07] Hidden Costs and Negotiations
  A story illustrates how unclear agreements can lead to unexpected costs, like a buyer missing out on a higher offer because of a seller-paid commission misunderstanding [26:07]. Steve notes sellers may offer commissions in a buyer’s market despite initial refusals [

The cost of a buyer's professional real estate representative has always been paid by the buyer. Never the seller. If you think I'm wrong, this episode should prove my point . Buyers and their agents are hurting the buyer by making this an issue.   This short episode will help you to focus on the simplicity of getting the best house at the best price. After all, isn't that the goal?

Decoding Real Estate: Licenses vs. REALTOR® Membership – What Everyone Should Know

Have you ever heard someone mention a "REALTOR® license"? If so, you’re not alone! It’s a common misconception, and it’s time to set the record straight. Spoiler alert: there’s no such thing as a specific REALTOR® license. Even more surprising, only about 52% of licensed real estate agents and brokers in Florida are members of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR).

This blog post will break down some key differences between a real estate license and REALTOR® membership, clearing up confusion and offering valuable insights for consumers and both new and experienced agents.

The 2024 national lawsuit against the real estate industry is resulting in the removal of a long standing benefit to our American Military Veterans.   We find that appalling and discuss our immediate solution to this travesty in this episode.  Professional representation has been available to all buyers for decades. It's been paid for by the listing brokerage and wrapped up in the cost of the home that a buyer was purchasing.  That equates to the buyer actually paying for all of the commission in their mortgage or in cash when they bring the money to closing.

In this first episode of 2024, Steve Martin & Katrina Smith discuss some pros and cons of home staging options.

Real Estate professionals everywhere agree on the value of depersonalizing your property prior to listing it.   Have you ever seen staged homes that obviously had the  personality of the stager/decorator all over it?  Can that actually be counter productive to the sale of your property?

What if a potential buyer or your listing agent need to move some of the furniture to show the potential buyer other layout options?  Will that "staging company" allow you to do that?

These valuable insights and more are included in this episode of the Real Estate Agent Man podcast

Leaving In My Chevy
By Steve Martin Smith
Copyright 2023
(Parody of Leaving on a jet Plane, by John Denver)

All my bags are packed, I'm happy to go 
It's time to leave this freaking cold
And sing a tropical parody of this song

My body’s achin’ from slippin on ice
That feeling is not very nice
I want sunshine on my shoulders all year long

Chorus
So kiss off if you’re mad at me - For leaving you in this misery
Or join me now, but hey - it’s time to go
Cuz I’m leaving in my Chevy - This time I’m finally ready
To say goodbye yellow snow

So many skies are only grey
For months they just won’t go away
And freezing slush, well that  just really sucks

So many times I’ve raked the leaves
So many times I’ve had to freeze
So many pot holes make me yell - oh fudge

Repeat chorus

Now’s the time - I start to drive
To where baby boomers come alive
Where 63 is the new 42

At Venice Beach I’ll fit right in
Enjoying sunshine and a swim
Posting selfies to show them off to you

So kiss off if you’re mad at me - For leaving you in this misery
Or join me now, but hey - it’s time to go

Cuz I’m leaving in my Chevy 
Cuz I’m leaving in my Chevy 
Cuz I’m leaving in my Chevy 
Cuz I’m leaving in my Chevy - This time I’m finally ready
To say goodbye yellow snow

All my bags are packed, I'm happy to go 
It's time to leave this freaking cold
And sing a tropical parody of this song
