In this episode of The Den, powered by the Lyons Group, we dive into the fascinating world of construction within real estate through a fun trivia format. Our small but experienced team, with over 400 million in sales and nearly 2000 successful transactions, engages in a lively discussion about the importance of construction knowledge for realtors.
We explore whether realtors need in-depth construction knowledge or just the basics, with insights from our guests on the necessity of knowing when to call in the professionals. The trivia questions range from identifying construction terms like "Romex" and "polybutylene" to discussing the differences between a slab and a crawlspace, and the advantages of each.
Throughout the episode, we share laughs and anecdotes, including a humorous take on car maintenance and the quirks of home construction. We also touch on various construction elements such as vaulted ceilings, bullnose corners, and the significance of a punch list in new home construction.
Listeners will gain valuable insights into construction terminology and practices, as well as a better understanding of how these elements play a crucial role in real estate transactions.
