Moving Sucks: Real Talk, Real Solutions for Every Move

Seth Lejeune & Jennifer Anusky

CONGRATULATIONS! We’re millennials. That means EVERYTHING about being alive is expensive.

And the boomers have so generously gifted us with least affordable housing in the history of the world along with:
- Inflation.
- Student loan debt.
- Expensive medical insurance that doesn’t cover our therapy bills.
- Randall Cunningham (to which we are very grateful. Go birds.)
And likely very vague wills leaving us to pay for them well after they’re gone.

Don’t worry. Seth and Jenn can help.

We’re Philly-based millennials and top-producing realtors.

Ok—admittedly Seth's a borderline GenX'er—but he was in the trenches of dial-up internet with us. And he’s really good at getting down payment assistance money from parents who we didn’t think would be giving down payment assistance, so we'll let it slide.

We’re here to call BS on all the myths and bad real estate advice floating around like what you just heard from the 22-year-old TikTok investment guru who stops your scroll for way longer than you’d like to admit, or some article that was clearly written with some off-brand version of ChatGPT.

No. It doesn't matter to the buyer that the Zestimate is $485k. The Seth-stimate is $430k. And one of these is still successfully servicing home sales and the other is not…I’m just saying.

We’ll talk about all the things millennials need to know. Like how to find money in life’s couch cushions.

What you should be doing now if you want to get into the market as a first-time home buyer.

How to size up into a place that actually fits your life even if you’re sitting on a 2.9% rate.

What all the puzzle pieces are, and how they fit together.

Why Jenn does so much Boomer bashing even though she says she’s not that into it.

And it’s all lightly salted with some Phillies, Flyers, Sixers, and Eagles enthusiasm.

Check it out. I mean—it can’t hurt.

    Good Agent vs. Bad Agent: What Separates the Best Realtors

    Good Agent vs. Bad Agent: What Separates the Best Realtors The housing market is changing, and the agent who looked great during the bidding-war years may not be the one you need now. In this episode of Moving Sucks, Seth breaks down what separates a truly great real estate agent from one who’s just been riding an easy market. With rates around 7.5%, more price reductions, and fewer bidding wars, even competitive markets like the Philadelphia suburbs are starting to cool. Seth explains why your agent needs to understand market data, not just “price it right and market it well,” and how the wrong agent can cost you thousands whether you’re buying or selling. In this episode: 🏡 Why the market has shifted, even in the Northeast 📺 How media noise and politics shape how buyers and sellers feel about the market 📊 The market data every good agent should understand (absorption rates, days on market, price reductions) 🤖 How to use ChatGPT to come up with smart questions to vet an agent ⏳ Why real estate data lags behind what’s really happening 👔 Why experience beats friendship when picking an agent 💰 Pricing strategy: every home sale is a trade-off between time and money Whether you’re listing your home or making an offer, you need someone who knows the numbers, can explain what’s happening, and has a plan if your house sits. The right agent makes a real difference. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 How to Choose the Right Real Estate Agent 01:50 The Market Is Shifting: Cutting Through Media Noise 04:04 Inflation, Politics & Who’s Really to Blame 06:10 Why Your Agent Needs to Know the Data 08:26 Real Market Signals: Price Drops, Showings & Bidding Wars 13:12 How to Use ChatGPT to Vet a Real Estate Agent 16:17 Why Real Estate Data Lags Behind the Market 18:39 Experience vs. Friendship: Who Should You Hire? 20:05 Pricing Your Home: Time vs. Money 21:23 Wrap Up: Need Help Finding an Agent? 🌎 Relocating?

    Is Now a Bad Time to Buy a House? Mortgage Rates & Inflation Explained

    Mortgage Rates Are Back at 7% — Here’s What It Means for Buyers, Homeowners & Renters Mortgage rates are back around 7%, and they may not come down as soon as you think. In this episode of Moving Sucks, Seth explains how we got here, why the Fed alone can’t fix it, and what smart buyers should be doing right now. You’ll learn the real relationship between the Federal Reserve, the 10-year Treasury, and the mortgage rate you’ll actually be quoted. Seth also explains how global oil and diesel supply problems are pushing inflation higher, why new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh may not deliver the rate cuts many expected, and what the upcoming midterms could mean for rates. Most importantly, he covers what to do about it: 🏠 Should you still buy a house with rates around 7%? 📈 Why inflation will keep pushing rents higher 🔒 How owning locks in your housing costs while renting stays unpredictable 💰 Why you should focus on your monthly payment, not just the rate ⚠️ Why anyone with a HELOC or variable-rate debt should be paying attention 📅 When rates might realistically start coming down High rates don’t mean you should give up on homeownership. It just has to be the right move. Skip the headlines and online calculators.

    Ep. 113 | Why I Walked Away From a $60K Real Estate Commission

    Are you hiring the wrong real estate agent simply because they said "yes" to everything? What if the best agent for your home is the one willing to walk away? In this episode of Moving Sucks, Seth and Jenn dive into one of the biggest decisions a seller can make—and why honesty can be worth far more than a commission check. Seth shares the story behind turning down nearly $60,000 in potential commissions on a $3 million luxury listing, explaining why saying "no" was the right move for both him and the client. Instead of chasing a payday, Seth reveals the importance of knowing your niche, understanding your strengths, and putting the client's success ahead of your own. You'll also learn how to spot agents who overpromise, why luxury homes require a different strategy, and what questions every seller should ask before hiring a Realtor.

    Ep. 112 | Social Media Is NOT Getting You Clients? The Truth Agents Avoid

    Are you feeling like you have to choose between building your real estate business and keeping up with social media… and wondering if either one is actually working? Seth and Jenn are back together on the Moving Sucks Podcast—and this episode hits hard on what’s real versus what’s just noise in today’s real estate world. After stepping away from the mic and dialing back her online presence, Jenn opens up about what really drove that decision: juggling full-time real estate, parenting, and the realization that content creation and closing deals can feel like two completely different careers. This isn’t about balance—it’s about priorities. The conversation dives into a bold take on today’s market headlines. Is the market actually slowing… or is that just the narrative being pushed? Jenn shares her perspective from the front lines, where transactions are still happening despite higher interest rates and constant uncertainty talk. Seth and Jenn also challenge one of the biggest assumptions in the industry: Does social media really bring in business—or is it just a credibility tool? They break down why many top-producing agents barely post online, why referrals still dominate, and how too many agents may be focusing on the wrong things. There’s also a sharp critique of “social media coaching culture” and a strong reminder that mastering contracts and fundamentals is what actually builds a sustainable career. And then there’s AI—where they both agree the future is heading. Unlike social media, AI might not just market your business… it might actually improve how you serve your clients. They also unpack the rollercoaster of interest rates (including that brief dip into the 5s) and why perception and fear may be driving decisions more than the numbers themselves.

    Ep. 111 | This Deadline Practice Is Destroying Your Offers

    Are you rushing into real estate decisions just because of a deadline… and wondering if it’s actually costing you money? In this episode, Seth and Jenn break down one of the most common—but rarely questioned—practices in real estate: Sunday night offer deadlines. While they’re meant to create structure in competitive situations, are they actually doing more harm than good? Seth dives deep into the mechanics behind offer deadlines and reveals how poor timing can pressure buyers into emotional decisions, limit access to key advisors like lenders, and ultimately lead to weaker offers—or worse, deals that fall apart after “one sleep.” But it’s not just buyers who lose. Sellers may unknowingly leave better terms on the table, and agents? They’re stuck working chaotic Sunday nights only to revisit everything again on Monday. You’ll also hear a bold take on open houses—why they may be outdated, how they’re often used to attract unrepresented buyers, and when (if ever) they actually make sense in today’s market. This episode challenges the “this is how it’s always been done” mindset—and offers a smarter, more strategic approach that benefits everyone involved. ⏱️ Episode Breakdown 00:00 Real Estate Mechanics Intro 01:40 Why Offer Deadlines Exist 03:01 The Sunday Night Problem 06:09 Buyer Stress And Psychology 11:19 Seller Risks And Better Terms 15:01 Make Monday The Deadline 15:59 Agent Workflow And Sanity 18:15 Open Houses Critique 23:03 Wrap Up And Takeaways 👉 If you’ve ever felt pressured by a deadline, questioned the process, or want to make better real estate decisions… this episode is for you. 👇 Connect with us: 👉 https://www.instagram.com/movingsuckspodcast/ 👉 https://www.tiktok.com/@millenniup 👉 https://www.instagram.com/asksethanything/ 👉 https://www.instagram.com/januskygetsitdone/ Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MovingSucksPodcast

    Ep. 10 | Why Sellers Can't Escape Commission (Even After NAR)

    Are you wondering if the massive National Association of Realtors settlement actually changed anything in real estate… or was it all just hype? A year and a half later, Seth is pulling back the curtain—and what he’s seeing might completely change how you think about buying or selling a home. In this episode of Moving Sucks, Seth dives into the aftermath of the widely publicized NAR settlement that was supposed to disrupt how commissions work in real estate. From lawsuits to “industry shakeups,” the headlines made it seem like everything was about to change. But on the ground? It’s a very different story. Seth breaks down what the ruling actually required, why sellers are still covering buyer agent commissions in most cases, and how real-world consumer behavior has largely ignored the expected shift. He also explores why buyer representation still plays a critical role, the hidden dangers of dual agency, and what happens when sellers try to go against the grain. You’ll also hear how the U.S. system compares to countries like Australia—and why our approach may actually create a more level playing field for buyers. This episode cuts through the noise with a clear, honest look at what’s really happening in real estate right now—and what it means for you. ⏱️ Episode Breakdown 0:00 — What is the NAR settlement? 1:30 — Welcome & episode intro 3:00 — The update: nothing has changed 4:30 — Sellers are still paying buyer commissions 6:00 — How other countries handle real estate (Australia) 8:00 — Background on the federal lawsuit 9:30 — Buyer agency agreements explained 11:00 — Why this is actually good for consumers 13:00 — The economics of commission and affordability 15:00 — What happens when sellers refuse to pay 16:30 — The importance of buyer representation 👉 If you’re buying, selling, or just trying to understand how commissions really work today… this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

    Ep. 109 | How the Iran Conflict Is Quietly Raising Your Interest Rates

    Are you confused about why mortgage rates suddenly jumped—and what a conflict across the world has to do with your buying or refinancing plans? Are you wondering if you should pause or push forward right now? In this episode, Seth breaks down how rising tensions in the Middle East—specifically disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz—are shaking global oil supply and driving inflation higher. As oil prices moved up, mortgage rates quickly followed, jumping about half a point in just days and putting many refinances on hold. Seth also shares practical advice for navigating the uncertainty, encouraging buyers and refinance clients to stay proactive instead of waiting on perfect timing. He explains what could happen next and how shifting global conditions may impact rates moving forward.

    Ep. 108 | Your Agent's Missing Piece Could Wreck Your Deal

    Are you buying a home and trusting that your real estate agent actually understands what they’re looking at? 🏠 Are you worried that one inspection report or contractor quote could suddenly cost you thousands of dollars… or even kill your deal? In today’s real estate market, too many agents rely on inspection reports without really understanding construction, home systems, or repair costs. That lack of knowledge can lead to bad advice, unnecessary panic, and deals falling apart over issues that might actually be minor fixes. In this episode of Moving Sucks, Seth talks about why modern real estate agents need to understand how houses work — from HVAC systems and sump pumps to repair costs and inspection negotiations. They share real-world stories from the field, including a buyer who nearly replaced a perfectly good HVAC system after a scary $15,000 quote, only to discover the real fix cost $1,200, and a Philadelphia transaction that nearly collapsed over suspected buried tanks until ground-penetrating radar proved there was nothing there. Seth explains why he trains and quizzes his team on construction knowledge, because too many agents simply don’t know the components of the homes they’re helping people buy. And when agents don’t understand the house, they can’t properly protect their clients or negotiate repairs effectively. Episode Breakdown 00:00 Why Construction Knowledge Matters 02:25 Industry Gaps and Old Homes 04:48 Inspections and Repair Negotiations 07:24 When to Walk Away 08:36 HVAC Scare Story 12:43 Get Multiple Quotes 15:46 Mystery Pipes and Tanks 18:19 Ask Questions at Inspections 20:15 Red Flags and Wrap Up

    Ep. 107 | Logistics & Finances: Why Most Agents Skip This

    Are you touring homes over and over… but still don’t feel confident enough to make an offer? Are you frustrated because every showing feels reactive instead of strategic? In this episode, Seth of the SLG Team at Real Broker breaks down the streamlined three-meeting onboarding system designed to give buyers clarity before they ever step foot inside a home. With the Philadelphia market picking up and buyers returning, Seth explains why so many clients are leaving their previous agents — and why the issue isn’t the market… it’s the missing process. Instead of “just going to see houses,” this episode dives into solving the two critical puzzles first — logistics and finances — eliminating doubt, and creating a faster, more confident path to an offer. Episode Breakdown: 1:34 – Philadelphia Market Update 1:58 – Why Buyers Are Switching Agents 2:47 – Why the Northeast Market Moves Differently 3:09 – What To Do Before Seeing Houses 3:55 – The Problem with “Just Go See Houses” 4:30 – The Two Puzzles: Logistics & Finances 5:07 – Eliminating Buyer Doubt 5:54 – Why Buyers Lose Interest After 3–5 Showings 6:11 – The 3-Meeting Virtual Onboarding System 7:57 – The #1 Complaint from Clients 8:56 – Starter Home vs. Forever Home 9:45 – What Buyers Should Ask Their Agent 10:22 – Why Upfront Clarity Matters This isn’t about seeing more homes — it’s about seeing the right homes with clarity and confidence.

    Ep. 106 | Why National Housing Policy Doesn’t Fix Your Market

    Are you tired of hearing national housing debates that don’t match what’s happening in your neighborhood? Are politicians blaming investors, immigrants, or “the government” — while your local market keeps doing its own thing? In this episode, Seth continues the housing policy conversation and breaks down a hard truth: real estate is local. National slogans don’t fix local inventory shortages, tax structures, zoning issues, or school district dynamics. Using the Philadelphia suburbs as an example, he explains how neighboring counties can have completely different challenges — even within the same metro area. What works in one township may fail in the next. He also challenges common narratives: Are immigrants really outbidding everyone? Are “investors” the real problem? Do government programs create affordability — or just more buyers? Seth dives into the difference between boosting demand and increasing supply, and why creating more homes is the only long-term solution. He also reframes what “affordable housing” really means — not just subsidized units, but access to ownership and long-term wealth building. Plus, he shares a local development example involving vacant corporate parks, potential housing conversions, and the ripple effects on schools, traffic, and municipal services — proving why agents must understand what’s happening right here, right now. National stats sound impressive. Local insight wins deals. 👇 Connect with us: 👉 https://www.instagram.com/movingsuckspodcast/ 👉 https://www.tiktok.com/@millenniup 👉 https://www.instagram.com/asksethanything/ 👉 https://www.instagram.com/januskygetsitdone/ Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MovingSucksPodcast

    Ep. 101 | The Truth About AI in Real Estate Nobody's Talking About

    Are you worried AI might replace your job — especially if you're in real estate? In this eye-opening episode, Seth dives deep into the growing fear (and hype) around artificial intelligence taking over the workforce — especially in real estate. From automated client outreach to data-crunching backend systems, AI is already reshaping how agents work. But does that mean your job is next?

    Ep. 98 | Will the 50-Year Mortgage Help You—Or Hurt You?

    Are you worried that homeownership might be slipping further out of reach? Are you curious how a 50-year mortgage could shake up the housing market—and your future? In this episode of Moving Sucks, Seth takes on one of the most controversial housing proposals in recent memory: the introduction of a 50-year mortgage. Is it a lifeline for buyers or a financial trap? We go deep into the economic logic, the political motivations, and what it could actually mean for YOU. We explore how mortgages have evolved over the decades, what this extended term could do to monthly payments, and how it could either open doors or slam them shut for first-time buyers. You’ll hear real talk, historical parallels, and sharp insights into whether this policy helps—or hurts—the dream of homeownership.

    Ep. 97 | What Realtors Get Wrong About Interest Rates

    Are you basing your home-buying decisions on what you think you know about interest rates? Most people are—and it’s costing them big time. In this episode of Moving Sucks, Seth breaks down the truth about interest rates and how they actually impact the real estate market. Spoiler alert: it’s not all about the Fed. From myths around mortgage rates to the real indicators that matter (like the 10-year treasury yield), this episode challenges the conventional wisdom keeping buyers and sellers stuck on the sidelines. Seth also calls out the misinformation rampant in the industry and shares why affordability—not price—is the real game-changer. If you've been wondering whether now is the right time to buy, or if you’re just plain confused about rate talk, this is the straight-shooting reality check you need. 🔍 Episode Breakdown 00:00 – Understanding Interest Rates and Market Sentiment 00:47 – Introduction to the Episode 01:15 – The Fed Rate and Mortgage Rates Explained 02:49 – The Fed's Mandates and Economic Impact 06:52 – Real Estate Market Insights and Advice 12:12 – Conclusion and Final Thoughts If yes, then this episode is for you. 👇 Connect with us: 👉 https://www.instagram.com/movingsuckspodcast/ 👉 https://www.tiktok.com/@millenniup 👉 https://www.instagram.com/asksethanything/ 👉 https://www.instagram.com/januskygetsitdone/ Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MovingSucksPodcast
