In this week’s episode of DFW Real Estate Weekly, we uncover one of the most frustrating questions in real estate:

Why does one home fly off the market while the one next door just sits?

Two homes. Same neighborhood. Very different outcomes.

We break down exactly why—from marketing strategy and storytelling to staging and pricing. Spoiler: It’s never just about the house.

We expose the most common real estate myths we hear every summer:

"You should always buy or sell in the summer."

"You’ll save big using a discount agent or doing it yourself!"

"You have to spend a fortune or renovate everything before you list."
