In this episode of The Last Honest Realtor, David Fleming breaks down the listing tactics that are actively working against sellers in today’s Toronto real estate market. From irrational pricing to failed offer strategies and zero backup planning, agents and homeowners are making the same costly mistakes - over and over.
This is a slow bleed, made worse by sellers refusing to adapt and agents too afraid to push back. With inventory at a record high and sales at historic lows, this episode cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of what’s really going wrong.
