Real Estate Called Out
You've heard the press releases. You've seen the headlines. You've watched the industry smile for the camera and tell you everything is fine.
It's not always fine. And somebody needs to say so.
Real Estate Called Out is the evolution of The Real Estate Replay, reborn with one mission: to tell consumers the truth about what's actually happening in real estate, every single week, without corporate sponsors, without soft-pedaling, and without pretending the PR spin is the whole story.
Hosted by Wendy Gilch, a real estate industry veteran who has spent years watching the same playbook run on the same people, this show exists for buyers, sellers, and anyone who has ever signed something and wondered if they got the full picture. Spoiler: you probably didn't.
Every episode is 20 minutes. One topic. One thing the industry was hoping would float right past you. We dig into the latest news, the mortgage gimmicks, the fine print, and the corporate moves that look great in a headline and tell a very different story underneath it.
No fluff. No favors. No "on the other hand, they make some good points."
The PR machine is loud, but we're louder.
These are my personal opinions, formed after years of watching the real estate industry from the inside. They do not reflect the views of my real jobs, the Consumer Policy Center, or any organization I work with. I wear a lot of hats, this podcast is just where I take them all off."

Tales From The "Deal Killer" Inspector
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
There is a hidden side of the real estate industry that we like to call the "underbelly." The underbelly is where all the bad stuff is hidden from consumers and rarely discussed. Those that do discuss the "underbelly" are typically discarded, ousted, or avoided.
When we saw Preston Kincaid's recent videos on his experience with the real estate underbelly, we knew he would be a perfect fit for our podcast to discuss the challenging relationships between "deal killer" inspectors and bad agents.
In this episode, Preston and Wendy discuss how he is treated by good agents, vs what happened when a bad broker labeled him a "deal killer" and banned their agents from using his services. They also get into home flippers, red flags to spot, new construction, and what you should be looking for when searching for a home inspector.
