11 Home Selling Mistakes That Could Cost You THOUSANDS!

Lately, we’ve covered heavy topics—market crashes, rising interest rates—you name it. But today, let’s have some fun! We’re talking about custom homes and the dream upgrades that might turn into nightmares.

Building your dream home is exciting, but not every fancy upgrade is worth it. Some can hurt resale value, break down quickly, or become expensive headaches down the road. From high-maintenance marble to leaky pot fillers, I’m breaking down the seven worst home upgrades you should think twice about before adding to your custom build.

🚫 Avoid These Custom Home Upgrade Mistakes:
💸 #1: Marble Countertops – Stunning but HIGH maintenance!
🚰 #2: Pot Fillers – The leak risk isn’t worth it!
🧊 #3: Standalone Ice Makers – They leak... A LOT!
🏠 #4: Crown Molding – Looks classic but might date your home.
💰 #5: Overpriced Fixtures – The price adds up FAST!
🪵 #6: Hardwood Flooring – Scratches and dents too easily.
🔥 #7: Kitchen Backsplash – Is it really necessary?

⚠️ If your favorite upgrade made the list—don’t take it personally! Just hear me out. A little foresight now can save you thousands in regrets later.

💬 Have you made an upgrade you regret? Drop a comment below—I might feature your story in a future video!

📍 Looking to buy or sell a home? As a real estate agent, veteran, and serial entrepreneur who has called California home for almost 30 years, I take pride in helping people make smart real estate decisions. DM me with any questions!

INSURANCE NIGHTMARE: 1 Million California Homes Could Lose Coverage!

A new foreclosure crisis is building, and this time, it’s not just struggling homeowners who need to worry — Wall Street corporations are already gearing up to profit big.
In this video, we break down a chilling forecast shared by Econofin, revealing how corporate giants are using AI technology, shell companies, and insider data to buy up homes before they even hit the market.

Here’s what’s happening:
🚨 Foreclosures are surging across the country — Miami, Phoenix, and Denver are already seeing spikes.
🏚️ Over 850,000 homeowners are still in loss mitigation, with many behind on payments for two years or more.
💰 Investment firms have set aside billions to snatch up foreclosed homes before average buyers even know they’re available.
📊 AI tools are being used to predict distressed sales with frightening accuracy — allowing Wall Street to flood struggling homeowners with cash offers before they realize they’re in trouble.
🏘️ Corporations aren’t just buying homes — they’re buying entire neighborhoods, turning America into a nation of renters.

This isn’t fear-mongering — it’s a reality check for anyone thinking about buying, selling, or keeping their home. Whether you’re an investor, a homeowner, or a future buyer, you NEED to know how this corporate takeover could reshape the housing market.
