After just over a year of weekly episodes and a short summer break, The Everything Real Estate Show is back for Season 2! Host Cody Kraus, real estate broker-owner and lifelong real estate enthusiast, kicks off the new season with an incredible guest — Rashid Farhat of Farhat & Associates Law Firm.

Rashid is a real estate lawyer in Windsor-Essex with nearly 20 years of experience, and one of only 25 certified specialists in real estate law across Ontario. With a large, high-volume practice, Rashid has seen almost everything that can happen in a real estate deal — from smooth transactions to deals that hit unexpected legal potholes.

In this episode, Cody and Rashid dive into the most common issues that arise during closings, why communication between realtors, lenders, and lawyers is so critical, and how experience helps spot and prevent problems before they happen. Rashid also shares insights from his annual presentations to brokerages and banks like RBC, where he breaks down the latest legal challenges and trends in the Windsor-Essex real estate market.

Whether you’re an agent, investor, or homeowner, this conversation is packed with practical wisdom and real-world takeaways to help you close confidently and avoid costly mistakes.

Let’s go!
