House Wars
House Wars
The real estate market isn’t all open houses, pretty listings, and reality TV drama. Behind every deal is a battlefield of negotiations, hidden rules, corporate power plays, and agents fighting to protect their clients in an industry that’s constantly shifting.
Hosted by top real estate agent Laura Valente, House Wars takes you behind the scenes of the housing market — from commission debates and client loyalty struggles, to the truth about Zillow, MLS rules, and why buyers often don’t see the whole picture. Expect insider stories, market shakeups, and unfiltered conversations that reveal the wild, wild west side of real estate.
Whether you’re a buyer, seller, or just fascinated by the business, House Wars pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to win in real estate today.

Episode 1 : YOU NEED AN AGENT
“Welcome to House Wars.
I’m Laura Valente — Realtor, designer, strategist, and the woman who’s seen it all when it comes to real estate deals.
In this world, everyone thinks they can do it themselves.
But real estate isn’t a YouTube tutorial — it’s a battlefield of contracts, emotions, and money on the line.
And today, we’re going to talk about why you actually do need an agent.
What it takes to close a deal.
What really happens behind the scenes.
Because this business isn’t just about opening doors — it’s about protecting dreams, building trust, and surviving the war zone that happens before the keys ever hit your hand.
This is House Wars. Let’s go.”
