About this listen
Midnight Zillow scrolling? Wine in hand? Don’t click that “Schedule a Tour” button just yet.
In this episode, Steph Douglass breaks down why Zillow and open houses—while fun and full of vibes—are also traps for accidentally picking your real estate agent like you’re picking a pizza delivery driver.
Learn how these systems work, what to actually look for at an open house (spoiler: it’s not the snacks), and why being intentional with your agent choice could be the difference between a strategic purchase and a regretful one.
You’ll learn:
How the “Schedule a Tour” button works (and who actually gets your info)
What to do (and not do) at an open house
Strategic questions to ask about any home you tour
Why your agent should be a teammate, not a default
How to use Zillow as a tool—not a guide
Why Open House Austin gives you a full team, post-close support, and zero pressure
