| 6/22/26 |  Is a Home Inspection Worth It? (A Home Inspector's Perspective) | EP397 | Should every buyer get a home inspection? In this episode of The Real Estate Podcast, Steve Cecchetto sits down with Mark Ellison from The Home Coach to talk about what home inspections really do, what buyers should expect, and why the right inspector matters.With over 7,000 inspections completed, Mark explains why a good home inspector does more than just find problems. They communicate clearly, educate buyers, and help people understand what they’re actually buying. Steve and Mark also discuss first-time buyer nerves, new construction inspections, PDI timing, inspection limitations, common red flags, “Uncle Tony” inspections, mold concerns, and some wild things Mark has found inside homes.If you’re buying a home, selling a home, or working with buyers, this episode breaks down why home inspections are about clarity, confidence, and going into a purchase with your eyes wide open.VIDEO SECTIONS & TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro1:57 Why home inspections are finally back in the buying process3:11 Why the home inspection industry needs more regulation6:24 What makes a good home inspector?8:12 The inspection issue that almost cost a seller $30,0009:46 How bad communication can scare first-time buyers12:09 A home inspection is not a negotiation list13:21 What home inspectors can see that buyers can’t16:43 The number one tool every home inspector needs17:44 Why “Uncle Tony” should not replace a home inspector19:48 Home inspector vs. contractor: what’s the difference?21:15 New home vs. resale: do you still need an inspection?23:01 Can you bring a home inspector to a PDI?24:57 Why custom homes can still come with major problems29:16 Why the “wrong” house can still be right for the right buyer32:13 Why mold is often misunderstood34:01 How buyers and realtors should prepare for a home inspection37:53 The live snake Mark found in a furnace40:12 Outro/recapWatch on YouTube:https://youtube.com/kormendytrottListen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1pwncyet9NydbgTmx5D21kLinktree:https://linktr.ee/kormendytrottInstagram:https://instagram.com/kormendytrottYouTube:https://youtube.com/kormendytrottFacebook:https://facebook.com/kormendytrottX:https://x.com/kormendytrottLinkedIn:https://linkedin.com/company/ktrealtyTikTok:https://tiktok.com/@kormendytrottThe Kormendy Trott Team was formed in 2011 by Ariel Kormendy and Adrian Trott.

| 2/24/26 |  Mortgage Renewal TRAP: Don’t Sign That Letter (Do This Instead) | Your bank makes mortgage renewals look easy for a reason — “sign here” convenience can cost you real money. In this episode of After Dark (EP7), we break down why the renewal letter is one of the sneakiest moves banks pull, why “being a good client” often just means being a profitable one, and the exact mindset shift that helps you reduce the impact of higher rates: start early, shop around, negotiate, and use real research (not doom-scrolling) so you keep leverage and options.Watch Mortgage Renewal?

| 2/24/26 |  The #1 Thing Buyers Ignore: Your Neighbours | People obsess over price and square footage—but this episode flips the script: you’re not buying square footage, you’re buying the neighbours. The team breaks down why the “wrong” neighbour can turn a great home into a nightmare, how to stress-test a street (at different times of day), and why talking to multiple neighbours can reveal things you’ll never see on a listing.Watch Neighbours, Noise, and Parking: The Hidden Deal Breakers here: https://youtu.be/aL1K0UY9iYcVIDEO SECTIONS & TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro1:50 You are buying the neighbourhood3:59 The best neighbourhood on paper might be the wrong fit4:21 The “fishbowl” effect: proximity, privacy, and real-life livability5:52 Airbnb traffic7:27 Introverted v.s. extroverted neighbours9:23 Kid-heavy streets10:43 Wrap-up & outroWatch on YouTube:https://youtube.com/kormendytrottListen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1pwncyet9NydbgTmx5D21kLinktree:https://linktr.ee/kormendytrottInstagram:https://instagram.com/kormendytrottYouTube:https://youtube.com/kormendytrottFacebook:https://facebook.com/kormendytrottX:https://x.com/kormendytrottLinkedIn:https://linkedin.com/company/ktrealtyTikTok:https://tiktok.com/@kormendytrottThe Kormendy Trott Team was formed in 2011 by Ariel Kormendy and Adrian Trott.

| 2/24/26 |  Why Your Home Isn’t Selling (And It’s Not the Market You Think) | Why do some homes sit on the market while others sell—even in the same neighbourhood? In this episode of After Dark, the hosts break down the real reasons homes don’t sell in today’s market. From incorrect pricing and seller inflexibility to avoiding tough conversations and misunderstanding days on market, this episode explains what actually stalls a sale and how better preparation, data, and honest advice can change the outcome.Watch House Not Selling?

| 2/24/26 |  Predictions Don't Mean Crap | Predictions feel satisfying—but they can be dangerous when people start treating them like advice. In KT After Dark Episode 4, Steve Cecchetto and Shehriyar Shahzad break down why real estate forecasts are often “doom and gloom” clickbait, how confirmation bias pulls people into narratives, and why the smartest approach is focusing on what the current data says (with a realistic range) instead of making life decisions based on a headline.Watch Everyone Got 2025 Wrong (+ our 2026 Predictions) here: https://youtu.be/V-eP-wKyov8VIDEO SECTIONS & TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro1:10 Predictions aren’t advice3:41 Use a 3–5 year plan4:36 The “realtor narrative” problem7:30 How to answer clients professionally9:25 Embrace the truth10:00 Wrap-up: predictions don’t mean crapWatch on YouTube:https://youtube.com/kormendytrottListen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1pwncyet9NydbgTmx5D21kLinktree:https://linktr.ee/kormendytrottInstagram:https://instagram.com/kormendytrottYouTube:https://youtube.com/kormendytrottFacebook:https://facebook.com/kormendytrottX:https://x.com/kormendytrottLinkedIn:https://linkedin.com/company/ktrealtyTikTok:https://tiktok.com/@kormendytrottThe Kormendy Trott Team was formed in 2011 by Ariel Kormendy and Adrian Trott.

| 2/24/26 |  If You're Waiting For The Spring Market, You've Already Missed It | Is waiting for the spring market actually smart—or is it costing sellers real money? In this episode of KT After Dark, the conversation cuts through one of real estate’s most common myths. Steve Cecchetto and Steve Bruman break down why timing the market rarely works, how waiting often isn’t free, and why strategy, preparation, pricing, and presentation matter far more than the season you list in. If your home is ready now, this episode explains why waiting could quietly work against you.Watch The Biggest Mistake Sellers Make in January | EP375 here: https://youtu.be/hc1Bx5k7bosVIDEO SECTIONS & TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro0:57 Why sellers obsess over “perfect timing”2:35 The danger of agents who just agree with waiting3:37 Why strategy matters more than timing5:05 When is the right time to sell?5:26 Rushing an unready home costs you money7:14 Buy and sell in the same market explained8:41 Choosing a real advisor vs. a “yes” agent9:29 Final thoughts: sell when you’re readyWatch on YouTube:https://youtube.com/kormendytrottListen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1pwncyet9NydbgTmx5D21kLinktree:https://linktr.ee/kormendytrottInstagram:https://instagram.com/kormendytrottYouTube:https://youtube.com/kormendytrottFacebook:https://facebook.com/kormendytrottX:https://x.com/kormendytrottLinkedIn:https://linkedin.com/company/ktrealtyTikTok:https://tiktok.com/@kormendytrottThe Kormendy Trott Team was formed in 2011 by Ariel Kormendy and Adrian Trott.

| 2/24/26 |  Why Your Listing's Description Doesn't Help | In this episode of KT After Dark, we take a hard, unfiltered look at listing descriptions—and ask the uncomfortable question most realtors avoid: do they actually matter anymore? From generic AI-generated fluff to overused buzzwords like “soaring ceilings” and “backyard oasis,” we break down why photos, price, and specs drive buyer decisions far more than long paragraphs ever could. We also dig into the hidden risks of overselling, misinformation, and why bullet-point clarity may outperform storytelling in today’s fast-scroll market.In response to The Real Estate Podcast EP374: https://youtu.be/9JXylTZqMEIVIDEO SECTIONS & TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro0:47 Why listing descriptions add no value in today’s market1:14 What actually sells a home: price, photos, and specs2:02 The AI problem: why every description sounds the same2:46 Buzzwords that dilute value (oasis, soaring, exclusive)3:11 How long descriptions create liability and confusion3:56 When descriptions do matter (and what belongs there)4:18 Features buyers can’t see in photos5:22 Bullet points vs fluffy paragraphs6:14 “Most desirable neighbourhood” — does anyone believe it?6:54 Why buyers decide based on photos, not paragraphs8:26 The real damage of bad photography9:29 What truly hooks buyers online10:25 Misleading square footage and trust issues11:08 The question every buyer should answerWatch on YouTube:https://youtube.com/kormendytrottListen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1pwncyet9NydbgTmx5D21kLinktree:https://linktr.ee/kormendytrottInstagram:https://instagram.com/kormendytrottYouTube:https://youtube.com/kormendytrottFacebook:https://facebook.com/kormendytrottX:https://x.com/kormendytrottLinkedIn:https://linkedin.com/company/ktrealtyTikTok:https://tiktok.com/@kormendytrottThe Kormendy Trott Team was formed in 2011 by Ariel Kormendy and Adrian Trott.
