When it comes to buying a home, mistakes can be costly—and sometimes unforgettable. On this week’s episode of Real Estate Right Now, we’re going to laugh, learn, and get real with Kim Crump, Senior Listing and Buyer’s Specialist with Linda Craft Team, Realtors. The title says it all: “Home Buying Lesson: I Was Dumb So You Don’t Have to Be.” Kim isn’t afraid to share her own cringe-worthy experience of discovering that her pool wasn’t even on her property. Yes, you read that right—and the story only gets better from there. Kim’s personal journey is more than just a cautionary tale—it’s a wake-up call for buyers and homeowners alike. Back in 2004, like many of us, she trusted what the seller said about her lot lines. Years later, thanks to interactive mapping tools like iMAPS and her own training as a Realtor, she realized the truth: her pool, deck, and jacuzzi were sitting on land she didn’t even own. And while the county gave permits, permits only answer the question “Can you build it?”—not “Do you actually own the land?” So what are the lessons here? Whether it’s getting a survey, verifying lot lines, understanding permits, or working with your HOA, Kim’s story shines a light on the must-do’s to avoid serious headaches. If you’ve ever thought, “Well, the seller said it was fine” or “The county gave me a permit, so I’m good”—think again. Kim will break down why prevention is not only easier than untangling mistakes later, but also far less expensive. Join us live tomorrow at 9:00 am Eastern from the Linda Craft Team Studios as Kim candidly shares her “dumb” mistakes so you don’t repeat them. From humor to hard-earned wisdom, this episode will give buyers, sellers, and even seasoned homeowners the insight they need to protect their biggest investment. Don’t miss it—your property (and wallet) will thank you!
