Selling your home? Here’s the truth almost nobody tells you: your home might feel cozy to you… but to buyers, it may look smaller, busier, and more overwhelming than you realize. After helping 2,500+ sellers across Ohio, Glen can tell you with absolute confidence: Decluttering and depersonalizing is one of the highest return on investment steps you can take before listing.

This episode breaks down:

• Why buyers struggle to “see themselves” in a lived-in home
• The 50% Rule for every room, closet, and surface
• How clutter quietly kills your showing-to-offer conversion
• Simple steps that make your home feel bigger, newer, and more valuable
• Why a weekend of decluttering can earn you thousands more at closing

This episode is your blueprint for creating space, simplicity, and maximum buyer appeal.

Home sellers, what if one typo could reveal the real truth about why your home isn’t selling?

In today’s episode, Glen breaks down a real story from one of our listings, where an accidental mixup caused a $150,000 price drop… and instantly flooded the home with showings and buyer activity in the span of just 23 minutes. The reaction proved everything we’ve been saying for years about pricing, buyer psychology, and how the market really behaves.

You’ll learn:

• Why buyers react instantly when the price hits the “wow line”
• The 6 truths every seller must understand about pricing
• Why showings and offers are math — not magic
• How to read your click-through and showing rate like a pro

If your home isn’t getting the activity you expected, this episode will show you exactly why — and exactly how to fix it using real data, not wishful thinking.

Selling vs. Renting — which one actually makes you more money in today’s shifting market?
Most homeowners only look at the surface-level numbers and end up making the wrong move.

In this episode, Glen breaks down the real pros and cons of selling vs. renting: cash flow, taxes, risk, lifestyle factors, and the hidden costs sellers often overlook. Plus, you’ll learn the one strategy almost no one talks about: letting the market itself decide which option is better for you.

You’ll learn:

• When selling makes the most financial sense
• How taxes, HOAs, lenders, and local rules impact your decision
• The real work (and risk) behind being a landlord
• Glen’s unique “dual listing” strategy that lets the market decide
• How to use real data, not guesswork, before you commit

Whether you’re relocating, downsizing, or trying to decide between landlord life and cashing out, this episode gives you the clarity you need to make the smartest move.

👉 Let us help you decide: rent, sell, or dual listing.
