Most sellers think hiding problems protects their sale but it actually kills deals, drains profits, and can even lead to lawsuits. In this episode, Glen reveals why full disclosure isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s the profitable thing to do.
You’ll learn:
✅ How to “weaponize” disclosure to flip buyer psychology
✅ Why inspection reports can become powerful selling tools that make your home stand out
✅ How to build buyer trust and skip renegotiations entirely
✅ The exact process for documenting, fixing, and disclosing issues before listing
The bottom line: hiding issues or hoping they aren’t there can cause major issues down the road. Disclosing them and owning them with the strategies in this episode can lead to a faster sale for more money thanks to increased buyer trust.
