   Buying and Selling Barndominiums - Tips From A Real Estate Expert

   The majority of information online regarding barndominiums focuses solely on the build process. However, as this new housing trend becomes more popular, you can also expect to see more of these unique houses for sale.

Factors such as building codes, resale potential, financing, and insurance options could greatly impact the purchase or sale of a barndominium. That's why having a real estate agent who understands navigating this process is crucial. Today, we are joined by real estate agent Chris Pesek, who specializes in buying and selling barndominiums in Texas. Chris offers valuable insights for both buyers and sellers alike.

    We Interviewed Two Renowned Barndominium Figures

    Episode 04 of The Barndominium Podcast welcomes our guests, Emily Marshall and Megan Woodworth. In this episode, we cover how both of them started their barndominium journeys and how it led them to where they are today. Emily Marshall, also recognized by many as MRS Post Frame, along with her husband, Paul aka MR Post Frame, owns and operates a successful barndominium building company. Not only can they build your dream barndominium for you, but they are also one of the top resources when it comes to building a barndominium. For DIY enthusiasts, they offer a wealth of knowledge across their website, YouTube channel, and social media accounts. They even provide a Patreon for those seeking more in-depth information and consultation. Whether you are building the barndominium yourself or you live across the country, this service is well worth it! Megan Woodworth, known on Instagram as Woodys Barndominium Build, embarked on this journey with her husband Woody. Starting from humble beginnings of sharing their barndominium build story, they have now established The Barndominium Tour—a community for fellow barndominium owners to connect and share experiences. The Barndominium Tour's blog showcases stories of barndominium builds from across the country, offering a plethora of resources for all things related to barndominiums. If you're interested in purchasing an existing barndominium and skipping the build altogether, you can find options on their website. Meanwhile, Megan documents what it means to live the barndominium life. Considering the abundance of information these ladies have to share, we were unable to cover it all in just one episode.
