Understanding stigmatized and haunted real estate
Friday, Oct. 27
1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

At the end of October, there are plenty of haunted houses around, but the real deal – a house that has reports of paranormal activity – are a lot less common. However, REALTORS® who work with  stigmatized properties can tell you that the experience can be downright horrific.

Understanding stigmatized homes can give you the tools to help you know what you need to disclose, how you should overcome client objections, and how stigma affects market value. 

Presenter, REALTOR® and paranormal specialist Lorri Brewer will guide you through this challenging topic, including: 

  • The definition of a stigmatized home.
  • Real estate stigma development.
  • Examples/statistics on stigmatized properties.
  • How stigmatized homes affect property/market values.
  • Understanding the laws of disclosure for listing/selling agents.
  • The difference between “haunted” and “paranormal”.
  • Overcoming client objections when showing a psychologically impacted home to a buyer.
