You know recently my brother told me a little story about his ring camera.

He lives in Florida and the schedule was the landscaper was coming in to refresh his flower bed and spiff it up a bit.

So, the agreement, of course, was to bring in mulch and some new trees and things like that.

So he was away and when he came back to his surprise there were plants there —-shorter as promised. The plants were trimmed.
However, the mulch was taken from other places around his property.
It wasn’t new mulch. So how did he find this out?

Well, this is kind of a secret, you know, that we all know about.
And it’s called the ring camera.

This is so important for both buyers and seller because when you visit a home as a buyer, always be aware that a camera can be on and is recording you.

Now, that is illegal unless the listing agent tells the buying agent, which would be me, and the buying agent then informs you and is aware that there’s cameras in the house.

It’s the obligation of the listing agent to tell the buyer’s agent...

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
