Mondays with the Masons

Brad, Trent and Tarah talk about the parts of buying and selling nobody puts in a listing: what buyers miss, what sellers regret, and the places in Orange County worth knowing about.


The lead

Most of what decides a sale never makes it into the listing sheet — the street at six in the evening, the neighbor's extension, the thing an inspector will find in year three. So we film the conversations we would otherwise have in the car.

Short, unscripted, and shot around South Orange County. New videos whenever there is something worth saying — no schedule, no crew, no script.

We'd rather tell you what we'd do with our own house. Trent Mason
