Buying or selling a home shouldn’t feel like a blindfolded leap. We sit down with Will King—former teacher, now owner of Highside Home Inspections—to unpack how steady maintenance, clear education, and intentional planning reduce anxiety and create real value in every step of the real estate journey. From pre-listing inspections that prevent last-minute chaos to simple fixes that quietly raise sale price, we explore the small moves that make a big difference.
Will pulls back the curtain on entrepreneurship too. Technical skill isn’t enough; the back end matters—marketing, budgets, communication, and process. He shares why early “networking-only” strategies felt like fishing and how he’s shifting to targeted outreach with defined goals, built on a referral-first approach. His on-site verbal summaries help clients and agents understand what’s urgent, what’s routine, and what’s cosmetic—turning complicated reports into confident decisions. We also dive into BEPIC: bring the energy, educate, plan, find inspiration, and commit. It’s a simple framework for showing up with purpose, serving clients well, and sticking to the plan when results take time.
If you’re a first-time buyer, a seller prepping for market, or a homeowner who wants fewer surprises, you’ll get practical takeaways: red flags to watch for during showings, maintenance that compounds value, and smart ways to time your goals around the seasonal market. We also share details about an upcoming first and second-time homebuyer event featuring a team across realty, lending, insurance, and inspections—designed to map the process from pre-approval to closing and answer the questions you didn’t know to ask.
