It’s co-Host Show 22 with Philip, Austin and Matt as we discuss the situation in our city involving the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti and Trump’s attempt to “take over” the voter rolls in Georgia and here in Minnesota!

It’s a just Caddy episode today! Whether the world outside feels heavy or community tensions are hitting close to home, finding a safe place to land is essential for staying grounded in your journey. We’re diving into the power of peer support and the small, human connections—like sharing a conversation or a warm hat—that remind us we never have to navigate the tough stuff alone.

In this episode of RECkoning with Real Estate, we talk with past client Ginger Eager about her experience working with REC and what drew her to Minnesota. We discussed further why upfront pricing, flat fees, and our retainer option mattered to her, and how refreshing it felt to work with a real estate team that led with clarity instead of pressure.

We also zoom out to the bigger picture. Ginger reflects on how large, big-box agencies have largely continued business as usual—even after the lawsuit and settlement that were meant to change the industry—and why that lack of change felt troubling. The conversation closes on housing justice, and why working with a company willing to name systemic issues and operate differently mattered to her. Find us at therecollab.com
