In this brief conversation, Speaker A explains a newly piloted real‑estate approach tailored for VA home buyers. The model involves purchasing a property, renovating it to match the specific preferences of the service‑member client, and then selling it to the buyer. Because the renovation adds value, the buyer’s agent receives a substantially higher commission at closing than they would have earned on a standard, unmodified home that might sit on the market longer. Speaker A notes that the pilot (referred to as “guinea‑pigging”) has moved beyond the testing phase and is now an established process, emphasizing that VA clients no longer have to settle for homes that don’t meet their needs. Speaker B reacts positively, expressing enthusiasm and congratulating Speaker A on the success of the model.

agent, buyer's agent love it because they get paid at close of escrow way more than they would've made on that home that's been sitting. And then I just make the difference in between both. And it's been—
Wow. Super cool. That is cool.
We like started guinea pigging it. Now it's just taken off. And now we're just— if you're a buyer's agent, you know what I mean? Yeah. You're trying to look at, you know, with VA clients, you need to come on over because we've kind of perfected this model. And it's been pretty cool to renovate the home on what they want, you know? Right. And so they were really eager to move in that way. They don't have to settle for a home that these service members don't really want to live in because they can't get what they want.
Amazing, dude.
Wow.
Congrats.
Thank you. That's really cool. Thank you. That's really cool. It's a lot to take in. No. Yeah, no, no, no. Yeah, I'm just like, that's freaking awesome, dude.
Um, I mean that you're creating these things too, you know what I mean? Like taking all your skills and creating new opportunities for people is like unbelievable. I appreciate that, man.
