Aside from how unique this market is, the change in the conditions happened so quickly most buyers and sellers barely had time to catch their breath. We\u2019ve gone from an extreme seller\u2019s market ruled by multiple offers and bidding wars, to higher interest rates and a nervous pullback on both sides of the transaction. It\u2019s natural to feel skittish about being in a real estate transaction right now, but it\u2019s still a great time to buy a house. That is if you\u2019re under the care of an agent who puts education at the center of the customer experience. There\u2019s a lot of information to wade through, a lot to prepare for, and a lot of expertise required to have a successful transaction. So the real estate agent you choose is probably the most important decision you\u2019ll make in this process.  How do you make sure you\u2019ve got an expert in your corner?  In this episode, Samantha Malcolm shares why education is the key to moving forward in this market.
