00:06well good afternoon everybody my name is Chris Berger and it's time for a burger point you know
00:12recently my brother told me a little story about I lives in Florida and the schedule was coming in
00:19to you know re-up his his flower bed and you know spiff it up a bit so the agreement
00:25of course was
00:25to bring in mulch and some new trees and things like that so he was away and I when he
00:32came back
00:33and to his surprise there were plants there shorter than promised however the mulch was taken from other
00:41places around his property it was a new mulch so how did he find this out well this is kind
00:47of a
00:47secret you know that we all know about and it's called the ring camera this is so important for
00:54both buyers and sellers because when you when you visit a home as a buyer always be aware that a
01:03camera can be on and is recording you now that is illegal unless the listing agent tells the buying
01:12agent which would be me and the buying agent then informs you and is aware that there's cameras in
01:19the house it's the obligation of the listing agent to tell the buyer's agent and as a general rule I
01:26always ask the listing agent two things what is my commission and is there a camera in the house
01:33because this can really solve a lot of problems and cause a lot of problems and it brings me back
01:41to
01:41a story you know a few years ago I had a couple was very interested in you know for selling
01:46their house
01:48and this agent brought over their couple and they were on the porch talking after they viewed the house
01:55and they basically said we love the house we're not going to offer full price but we are willing to
02:02meet
02:02that if that's what they want to do if they want to go and meet us there we will agree
02:08to it so of course
02:09being the agent uh the the people who live in the house told me about this and I couldn't help
02:15myself so
02:16they did make an offer lower than the list price and simply I came back and said listen it's the
02:24asking
02:24price or we're moving on and lo and behold we got the asking price so the moral of the story
02:31is
02:31watch what you say around the house keep it to yourselves until you're out in the car or out in
02:37the driveway and that's my point and today I'm wearing my USA hat in honor of Labor Day and actually
02:47this was a gift from my brother in Florida and uh sort of wear it with pride and especially today
02:52beautiful day here in New York and I put my medals on it uh which I'm very proud of in
02:58honor of my uh
02:59my wife and my granddaughter so have a great day and that's my point
03:06you
03:09you
03:11you
03:14you
