  May 15, 202626 minS1

  <p>In this Anchored Real Estate podcast episode, Johnny and co-host/broker Cody Chembars explain why getting pre-qualified is a weak step and why buyers should get pre-approved before touring homes.

  5 Biggest Mistakes Home Sellers Make (And How to Avoid Them)

  Apr 28, 202640 minS1

  <p>On the Anchored Real Estate Podcast, hosts Johnny Dugan and managing broker Cody Chembars of Anchor Real Estate Advisors break down five common home-selling mistakes that cause listings to sit while similar homes sell quickly: overpricing (buyers swipe past overpriced homes and the first two weeks matter most), waiting too long to list (engage an agent early to plan timing, prep, and flexible closing/temporary occupancy), failing to prepare the home (declutter, curb appeal, and maintenance to create strong first impressions and support professional photos), poor/lazy marketing (especially bad photography and lack of targeted online/social promotion), and...

  Sell Your Home Now or Wait Until 2027? Interest Rates, Inventory & Equity Explained

  Mar 30, 202625 minS1

  <p>Johnny Dugan and Cody Chembars discuss whether homeowners should sell now or wait until 2027, focusing on three decision factors: interest rates, inventory levels, and equity position. They explain how “golden handcuffs” from ultra-low rates affect mobility, note reports of some government loans dipping below 6%, and warn that lower rates could increase buyer demand and competition—especially for buyers with home-sale contingencies. They highlight that inventory remains historically low at roughly 4.5 months versus a balanced 6 months, which can favor sellers today but may shift if more listings hit the market. They emphasize running net-to-seller and equity scenarios, including renting a low-ra...

  Resetting the Seller Mindset: Pricing Right, First Impressions, and Winning Negotiations (Episode 12)

  Mar 9, 202632 minS1

  <p>Johnny Dugan and Cody Chembars discuss resetting the seller mindset for today’s market, emphasizing that it’s no longer the 2021–2022 environment and unrealistic pricing is a “kiss of death.” They explain that the market—not emotion, past upgrades, or online estimates—drives value, and buyers compare homes to current active competition. They stress the outsized importance of the first two weeks on market due to buyer search behavior, making pricing, photos, and presentation critical; later price reductions can signal weakness and invite low offers. Condition and curb appeal are framed as strategy, and they argue pricing for attention beats pricing...

  Episode 11: How to Make a Strong Home Offer This Spring (It’s Not Just Price)

  Feb 25, 202626 minS1

  <p>In Episode 11 of the Anchored in Real Estate Podcast, Johnny Dugan and Cody Chembars focus on educating homebuyers preparing for the spring market, noting rising mortgage applications and increased market tempo. They explain that price is only one part of an offer and walk through key negotiable contract “levers” such as inspection and due diligence periods, vacancy/post-occupancy timing, earnest money, financing terms, special stipulations, and seller requests like closing costs—emphasizing that the best offer isn’t always the highest price, but often the cleanest. They discuss how financing strength is judged by seller perception, including down payment size, le...
