About this episode
In this episode of The Real Estate Podcast, Adrian and Ariel dive into one of the most overlooked parts of home buying — the neighbourhood. It’s not just about square footage or finishes; it’s about how you’ll live day-to-day. From commute times and school programs to nearby parks, dog trails, and local cafés, they break down what every buyer (and seller) should think about before making a move — and how realtors can help clients truly understand what they’re “buying into.”VIDEO SECTIONS & TIMSETAMPS0:00 Intro2:51 What everyone needs to be know about neighbourhoods5:42 How proximity adds value to your lifestyle6:58 Why realtors should sell the location, not just the home7:37 How to make buyers feel the neighbourhood8:23 Buyers focusing too much on finishes9:07 Why you should walk the area before buying12:18 How commute and amenities change daily life13:42 The impact of small things like school zones and parks14:29 Buying for lifestyle, not short-term profit18:02 How agents can guide buyers through the community21:04 Why every school feels different — even within one town23:32 Parent involvement and neighbourhood culture24:41 Multigenerational living and walkability25:29 Community gardens and senior activities26:08 Dog parks, escarpment views, and hidden gems27:14 Golf, local farms, and weekend lifestyle perks28:25 How sellers can highlight neighbourhood value29:12 Why local knowledge makes realtors more valuable31:42 What sellers love most about their neighbourhood33:58 Outro/recapWatch on YouTube:https://youtube.com/kormendytrottListen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1pwncyet9NydbgTmx5D21kLinktree:https://linktr.ee/kormendytrottInstagram:https://instagram.com/kormendytrottYouTube:https://youtube.com/kormendytrottFacebook:https://facebook.com/kormendytrottX:https://x.com/kormendytrottLinkedIn:https://linkedin.com/company/ktrealtyTikTok:https://tiktok.com/@kormendytrottThe Kormendy Trott Team was formed in 2011 by Ariel Kormendy and Adrian Trott.
