Breakfast with Brokers

First episode of 2023 kicks off 7,000 feet above sea level in one of our gorgeous feeder markets: Park City Utah. Tune in as we speak with EV Agent Karen Stone as she shares details and market stats of her home mountain locale.

@evjoeyd runs market data reports for us @evhobokenjc every week and now he’s breaking down the data so we can learn from the past and plan for the future. Don’t miss this deep dive into the current real estate market! As always thanks to my dear friend Joe for being such a positive force in my life and in the lives of our advisors. We love you Joey!

Our company provides a global platform to promote properties all over the world and work wherever your heart desires. My good friend, and agent Alex and I grab two stools at our neighboring steakhouse to have a much needed martini and discuss the markets in his three specialization areas: Boston, NJ and the UK. We hope this episode gets you thinking bigger about your own business and how you can expand your markets. Big thanks to Alex for taking the time to share his knowledge and I personally thank him for being such a great friend all these years. Listen up!

We just let it fly in this hilarious discussion about working in the real estate industry and all the craziness that follows. Disclaimer: bad language in this one!

I’ve used Marc exclusively to move both my own properties as well as my clients, celebrities, and politicians. I never had the chance to sit and pick his brain about the moving industry past, present and future so we did that here all while laughing at his hilarious industry stories. Take a listen and enjoy!

We sat with Terry Darling the home inspector to talk all things post COVID and what we should prep our buyers and sellers to expect during their home inspection.

Today’s triumphant return to podcasting post COVID is with a lovely friend Randi from Two Rivers Title!

I hesitated publishing this but in my consistent attempt to lead with authenticity I decided to feel the fear and do it anyway. So here it is. A recorded clip of our last sales meeting of the year. A raw emotional audible love letter to my company and the agents and staff that rode the waves the sea that was 2020 so effortlessly hit us with over and over again. We were one of the positive stories but so many of our fellow small businesses weren’t so lucky and that breaks my heart. And frankly should break yours. It’s difficult to see the world from the eyes of an entrepreneur unless you are one. On one hand the world is constantly your oyster, and endless exciting sky of opportunity to create and thrive on your own terms. On the other a much darker lonely place that terrifies you if you let it. You need a strong heart and an even stronger stomach and living for the journey instead of the outcome is the only way to survive. You can’t call out sick, or come in late, or even take a proper vacation to be honest because there is always something to do, manage, create, solve, extinguish, or analyze. The thing is people who aren’t entrepreneurs don’t get that we wouldn’t have it any other way. We happily traded the “Sunday scaries” for a consistent pit in our stomach that makes us feel alive and keeps us going. Our businesses are home and our staff and employees are family. This year was far from easy for a multitude reasons but I’m leaving it a better human, a stronger leader, and far more aware of what’s important to me and I owe that entirely to my crew @EVHoboken. So to my staff, global network, agents and clients, thank you. I’m proud of you. Well done. See you next year.

This year has certainly been one for the books but despite all the obvious turmoil there have been some lessons learned and positive outcomes. We have one month left, and another lockdown looming, so perhaps instead of focusing on the obvious negative, shift to the positive and come out of 2020 with something you can be proud of because if you exit this disaster without a single lesson learned you did it all wrong. LISTEN UP!

Today two of my fellow brokerage owners and rockstar agents in their own right join me to discuss our path to brokerage ownership, the good, the bad, the ugly and the inspiring. These women helped me get through purchasing the brokerage by helping me find my strength and providing their constant support. Truly inspiring conversation from two powerhouse ladies I’m proud to call friends. Amazing things happen when women support women in business. Enjoy!
