Ever hired a professional… and then decided to “take the wheel” yourself? We’ve all been there. 😅

In this episode, Glen and Justin unpack what really happens when sellers start steering their own deal — from missed leverage to miscommunication to full-on chaos. Drawing from 2,500+ home sales, they share how even well-intentioned DIY moments can cost sellers thousands (and a few gray hairs).

You’ll learn:
🚫 Why “just talking directly to the buyer’s agent” can backfire fast
🎯 How small emotional decisions ripple into big financial consequences
🧠 What great agents actually do behind the scenes to protect your deal
💡 How to stay in control without crashing the deal

If you’ve ever wondered how to work with your agent (not against them), this episode will give you a peak behind the curtain at what we do to save you money, stress, and maybe your sanity.
