Podcast: The Dark Secrets of Murder Homes Revealed With Realtors Heather Guild and Elena Richey

“Did someone die in this house,?” is a natural curiosity question. If it’s an old home, the answer is yes. But how big a deal is that? What exactly is it that scares people from buying a so-called “murder home“? Tune in for this enhanced video episode of the Dallas Dirt podcast, where guest host Shelby Skrhak discusses true crime and murder homes with Realtors Heather Guild and Elena Richey.

As longtime friends, Heather and Elena look at true crime through a real estate lens as hosts of their Crime Estate podcast. In this episode, they share how to disclose that a death has taken place on site and offer do’s and don’ts for staging a murder home. 

Examining the Darlie Routier case, we delve into the complexities of disclosing a violent crime in a seller’s disclosure and inspect this home’s curious disclosure. Contrast that to the Candy Montgomery case, where we dissect an effective seller’s disclosure for the Wylie house where Betty Gore was murdered. Both Dallas cases have made national news, but in this Dallas Dirt episode, we discuss finite new details about the homes’ property listings and the striking comparisons to original crime scene photos.

We also explore the intricacies of the JonBenét Ramsey case, questioning theories and critiquing the handling of the crime scene. We discuss these three cases and touch on some other notable murder homes that missed the mark in staging and renovation after a violent crime scene. Fans of true crime will want to tune into this real estate-focused episode.
