In the communities I've been part of, one of the most valuable sections is the group chat. Skool doesn't have a great chat feature, but I think we can mimic a group chat with this pinned post. If you ever come across something interesting or entertaining but aren't quite sure where to post it, throw it in the comments here!

Today Mauro & Larissa successfully close on their new home in Provo, Utah! I've been working with Mauro & Larissa since early February. They didn't join the Skool group, but found me on YouTube and we started working together one-on-one. While they initially had some trouble with resistance from listing agents, we were able to push through. In early-March, they found a home they like and were prepared to act quickly and confidently. After touring with the listing agent and expressing their intentions to self-represent, they were able to negotiate $20k off the list price (3.5% below list) by not having a buyer's agent. Not to mention the repairs totaling about $1k the sellers agreed to have completed. We had a few hiccups to work through, like the seller's wanting a rent-back period and our need to ensure that Maruo & Larissa were protected for that. We discussed negotiation strategies upfront and during the inspection period. The listing agent also wasn't the greatest or the most clear in communications, so there was a fair amount of pressing for more details and clarification. All in all though, things went great and Mauro & Larissa were thrilled about both the money they saved and the control they had over the process. Once they've moved in, I'm hoping to record a podcast and/or have them on an upcoming Happy Hour call to share more of their experience! In the meantime, wish them well as they get settled in their new home!
