Real Estate Called Out
You've heard the press releases. You've seen the headlines. You've watched the industry smile for the camera and tell you everything is fine.
It's not always fine. And somebody needs to say so.
Real Estate Called Out is the evolution of The Real Estate Replay, reborn with one mission: to tell consumers the truth about what's actually happening in real estate, every single week, without corporate sponsors, without soft-pedaling, and without pretending the PR spin is the whole story.
Hosted by Wendy Gilch, a real estate industry veteran who has spent years watching the same playbook run on the same people, this show exists for buyers, sellers, and anyone who has ever signed something and wondered if they got the full picture. Spoiler: you probably didn't.
Every episode is 20 minutes. One topic. One thing the industry was hoping would float right past you. We dig into the latest news, the mortgage gimmicks, the fine print, and the corporate moves that look great in a headline and tell a very different story underneath it.
No fluff. No favors. No "on the other hand, they make some good points."
The PR machine is loud, but we're louder.
These are my personal opinions, formed after years of watching the real estate industry from the inside. They do not reflect the views of my real jobs, the Consumer Policy Center, or any organization I work with. I wear a lot of hats, this podcast is just where I take them all off."

This homebuyer went to schedule their home inspection for their brand new construction home. When reaching out to the sales person to schedule a day, they were given a two paragraph email as to why you don't need an inspection on your new build home.
So do you?
Joining Wendy to dissect this story is Robb Williams. Robb has been in the construction and concrete business since the late 1990's and is a real estate agent in central Alabama. In this episode they talk about new construction, what upgrades are worth it, which aren't, why you should get an inspection, and the major issue currently facing the new home builder that is impacting everyone.
