What happens when decades of real estate mastery meet a law most agents have never heard of? You get this episode.

Pat Kapowich has guided home buyers and home sellers through every imaginable market cycle—and delivered results that speak for themselves. His home seller clients achieve a median of just 9 days on market for single-family homes and 8 days for condo/townhome listings. That kind of performance doesn't happen by accident. It reflects a strategic, client-focused methodology built over a career.

Now, Pat is sharing the insights that set him apart.

• In the first episode of "Laws That Didn't Get Much Attention," Pat breaks down AB 968—the flipper disclosure law that went into effect July 1, 2024. If you're buying a recently renovated home, this law gives you rights to contractor information, permit documentation, and detailed work disclosures that could save you tens of thousands of dollars.

Pat also explains why the California Association of Realtors recommends applying this law to ALL 1-4 unit residential properties—not just single-family homes.

What you'll learn:

• The 3 disclosure requirements under AB 968
• The 18-month ownership trigger
• Why the $500 contractor threshold catches almost all renovation work
• 4 action steps for home buyers
• Advice for home sellers: when in doubt, disclose
