0:00.0	My wife, Crystal Van, left this morning, so I had to watch Max, you know, a little bit longer, so I was a little late to work today.
0:07.3	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:07.8	Because she left early for closing because Bart and Crystal are always closing because that's what they do.
0:14.7	And that's why you should use realtors with a lot of experience, especially experience with working with our listeners, because they get deals done, they know how to price houses correctly. That could be a huge problem. If you're selling your house, you price it incorrectly, it's on the market for too long. Next thing you know. That happened to me. Yeah, you get, you're, you're getting $30,000 less, 50, I mean, you're, you know, it was huge swings. It was closer to $60,000.

1:32.0	Yeah.
1:32.1	Yeah.
1:32.1	Either make the most money or, uh, save the most money.
1:36.2	You know, there's like, uh, it could be tens of thousands of dollars swing here
1:40.4	because it's a huge financial investment.
1:42.6	Yeah.
