Crazy Shit In Real Estate

Buying or selling a house doesn't end at the closing table. There are still codes to exchange, utilities to transfer, questions to answer, and a whole lot of little details that can turn into a headache.

Cody Bartkoski saw the same problems happening over and over and decided there had to be a better way. We talk about what happens after closing, how technology can make that handoff easier, and why a smoother process is better for everyone.

Key takeaways to listen for

  • What happens after the closing that nobody thinks about
  • How Home Handoff makes the buyer/seller transition easier
  • Why agents don't need to be involved in every post-closing detail
  • What Cody learned from his own home-buying experiences
  • Why a better handoff creates a better client experience
