This week on This Wasn’t In The MLS, Meghan is away… so I brought in a special guest — my 9-year-old daughter.

We talk about what she thinks I actually do all day as a Realtor (apparently it’s “just talking on the phone”), what real estate descriptions REALLY mean, and how much money she thinks houses cost. Spoiler: according to her, I’m either broke… or a millionaire.

We also design her dream house (which includes things I’m not sure are structurally safe) and talk about what actually makes a house feel like home.

It’s funny, it’s honest, and it definitely wasn’t in the MLS.

If you’ve ever wondered what your kids think you do for a living… this episode might humble you.

In this episode of This Wasn’t in the MLS, we talk honestly about work life balance, career ambition, marriage, and raising a family while building a business.

As a husband and wife real estate team in the Northern Poconos, we share what it really looks like behind the scenes when you’re trying to grow a career, provide financial stability, and still show up at home. We discuss the pressure to provide, the fear of financial instability, risk tolerance differences in marriage, and whether true work life balance actually exists or if it’s just a season-by-season adjustment.

We also talk about guilt, burnout, ambition, and what success really means when you have kids watching you build something. If you’re juggling entrepreneurship, career growth, marriage, and parenting, this episode will feel very real.

This conversation isn’t just about real estate. It’s about building a life you’re proud of without losing what matters most.

In this episode of This Wasn’t in the MLS, we break down the pricing, staging, and marketing mistakes that are quietly costing sellers thousands in today’s Northern Poconos real estate market.

We share real stories from behind the scenes including homes that should have sold quickly but didn’t, deals that fell apart because of pricing decisions, and situations where simple staging or marketing changes completely changed the outcome. We also talk about why the first days on the market matter more than most sellers realize, how buyers actually react to overpriced homes, and why “testing the market” often does more harm than good.

As a husband and wife real estate team, we pull back the curtain on what really works when selling a home, how emotion and outside opinions get in the way of smart pricing decisions, and why having a clear strategy for pricing, staging, and marketing from day one can be the difference between a smooth sale and months of frustration.
