Welcome to The Michael and Patty Show (MAPS) Podcast🎙️, your premier audio destination for all things Prince Edward Island Real Estate! Join seasoned pros Michael and Patty as they unpack over four decades of full-time experience in PEI Real Estate, offering you unscripted, expert insights with each episode. 🏡✨

In this packed episode of The Michael and Patty Show, we’re pulling back the curtain on some of the real estate industry’s most misunderstood topics—starting with the real reason open houses happen (hint: it's not always to sell the home 🏡). Are they just lead generation events in disguise? A way to appease sellers? Or can they still work in today’s market?

We also dive into:

➡️ Showing FSBOs (For Sale By Owner) when no commission is posted—should you even bother?

➡️ What a “typical” house looks like on Prince Edward Island—from siding and foundations to heat sources and garage types 🏠

➡️ Buying a home in Canada as a U.S. citizen—what’s easy, what’s not, and why a U.S. line of credit might be your best friend 💰

➡️ And finally: the age-old debate—North Shore vs. South Shore living on PEI 🌊 Which one wins?

Tune in for industry insights, real-world stories, and a few laughs along the way. Whether you're a curious buyer, seasoned investor, or fellow real estate pro, this episode’s got something for you!
