๐ŸŽค These auctioneers are incredibly talented.

But in real estate, sometimes it's not the big mistakes that get you in trouble... it's the small details.

In this Iowa case, an auctioneer allegedly left required information out of advertising and handled earnest money in a way state law prohibits. The result? A proposed $1,000 fine and cease-and-desist order.

Know the rules.
Follow the process.
Stay compliant.

Because in Iowa... YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

๐Ÿšจ YOU CAN'T DO THAT! ๐Ÿšจ

Episode #12 is a big one.

A $10,000 fine.

Not $1,000.
Not a warning.
Not a slap on the wrist.

Ten. Thousand. Dollars.

And the crazy part? It was completely avoidable.

In real estate, there are rules that protect consumers, agents, and the integrity of the industry. When someone decides those rules don't apply to them, things can get expensive in a hurry.

In this episode, we break down what happened, why it mattered, and what every buyer, seller, and agent can learn from it.

๐ŸŽฅ Watch Episode #12 of "You Can't Do That."

Because sometimes the most expensive mistakes aren't the ones you see coming.

HOW?

The sellers decided to offer something that could save a buyer significantly MORE money than a traditional price reduction.

Instead of cutting the price by $10,000 and saving roughly $63/month, the seller is now offering a 2-1 rate buydown with an acceptable offer. Depending on your financing, that could mean hundreds of dollars in monthly payment savings during the first two years of homeownership.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Lower payments in Year 1
๐Ÿ’ฐ Lower payments in Year 2
๐Ÿก Fully fenced yard
๐Ÿ”ฅ Heated & painted garage
๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ Finished basement
๐ŸŒณ Deck with stairs to the backyard
๐Ÿฝ๏ธ All appliances included
๐Ÿ“ Great Bondurant location

The real estate market has changed, and sometimes the smartest move isn't lowering the priceโ€”it's lowering the payment.

Watch the video to see why this opportunity might make more sense than you think.

๐Ÿšจ NEW โ€œYOU CANโ€™T DO THATโ€ EPISODE ๐Ÿšจ

This week:
An Iowa agent allegedly represented BOTH the buyer and sellerโ€ฆ without a signed dual agency agreement. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

According to the commission:
โŒ Public discipline
โŒ $500 fine
โŒ Extra continuing education

Dual agency itself isnโ€™t illegalโ€ฆ
โ€ฆbut both parties have to KNOW and AGREE.

This is one of those real estate situations consumers should absolutely understand before signing paperwork.
