  • E13: 3 Keys to Selecting the Best Real Estate Agent
    Jun 17 2025

    In this episode, Jerry tackles the all-important topic of selecting the right real estate agent to sell your house. Drawing from his extensive experience in the field, Jerry shares three fundamental life lessons he teaches to anyone aiming for success: working harder than the competition, focusing on the process rather than the immediate results, and always aiming for 100%. Jerry underscores the importance of these principles across various domains, from real estate to sports and academics, showing how dedication and effective habits can lead to exceptional results.

    Jerry also provides practical guidance for homeowners on how to find a top-notch real estate agent. He highlights the importance of personal recommendations, scrutinizing fake online reviews, evaluating an agent’s sales history, and conducting thorough interviews to ensure compatibility. By following these steps and focusing on agents who are hardworking, process-oriented, and committed to achieving the best outcomes, homeowners can make informed decisions that lead to successful property sales.

  • E12: Breaking Down the Real Estate Portals: Zillow, Realtor.com, and Homes.com
    May 9 2025

    In this episode, we unpack the major real estate search portals and their impact on the industry. Jerry discusses the prevalent 'Zillow hate' among agents and explains why this sentiment is misguided. By exploring the evolution from traditional data-guarding methods to the current, more open and consumer-friendly systems, Jerry illustrates how sites like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Homes.com have revolutionized the way people search for homes and how agents advertise properties.

    Despite the technological advances, the value of real estate agents lies in their market knowledge and sales expertise, which remain irreplaceable by data alone. Jerry explores key features and differences among the three major portals to help both buyers and sellers make informed decisions when navigating the modern digital real estate market.

  • E11: When Is the Best Time to Sell Your Home?
    Apr 1 2025

    In this episode, Jerry covers the frequently asked question, “When is the best time to sell your house?” He discusses the critical role of supply and demand in determining real estate prices and explains how these factors fluctuate based on various economic and seasonal influences. Highlighting data from the National Association of Realtors, Jerry reveals that the ideal time to list a house nationally is between April 14th and 20th, while in Buffalo, the best week is around March 31st due to unique regional conditions.

    Jerry encourages sellers to prepare their homes and be ready to show them promptly to take full advantage of this peak interest period, emphasizing the importance of consulting with a real estate agent to tailor this timing to specific market conditions and maximize your sale.

    Jerry also shares his recommendation for the best day of the week to list a property, backing it up with research and his professional experience.
