Customer Reviews
Articulate, Professional and Knowledgable
This podcast is great! Very helpful and informative. Recommended for all.
Intelligent & Informative - this is a no-hype podcast!
This podcast is full of helpful information for buying, selling and investing. I used to be a real estate agent, and Robert really brings to light a lot of the misleading practices that are going on in real estate which most people don't realize. For example his episodes on the amount of time a property has been on the market (and how agents try to conceal this by periodically pulling the listing) and the myth of the "top agent" are so true! He has an easy, casual style which make listening fun.
Not enough on Real Estate!
If you want somebody to reinforce your teaparty-style, right-wing world view, you've found your guy. For those with a more nuanced view of the world who would like to learn more about investing in real estate, this is a frustrating podcast. I think this host has a lot of knowledge to offer, but we don't get to hear it.
