In this episode, Leigh interviews Nicole Solari, a realtor from Napa Valley, California who has made a remarkable record selling 191 real estate units in just 1 year. Listen as Nicole shares two nerve-wracking experiences with the same house—she discovers the house’s dark past and not-so-bright future, as she had to shoo away a hooker and her client out of the house during a showing.

3 Key Points

  1. Being in real estate for a short time does not necessarily mean you’re less experienced.
  2. Always do a background check first about the homes you’re about to list.
  3. Follow your intuition—it’s there for a purpose and oftentimes, it never hurts to do your due diligence.
