In this episode of Happy Hour with the Home Collective, we’re diving into a truth bomb: Not Everything Is Meant for Social Media.

Join the crew as we lovingly roast those classic realtor posts—the 5 AM “grind” schedules, the hourly deal updates, the “just closed my 47th this month” flexes, and the daily life dumps that make us all wonder: Is this marketing... or just a cry for validation? 

We keep it real (sort of) about why some wins, routines, and humblebrags belong in your private notes—not your feed. Expect plenty of tongue & cheek pokes, relatable real estate stories, and a reminder that sometimes the best move is logging off and actually living the hustle instead of broadcasting it.

Grab your drink, hit play, and let’s laugh at the overshare game we’ve all played at least once.  Who’s been guilty? We see you.

In this irresistible Happy Hour episode, Bill & Kristin sit down with the incredibly talented Lori Sarver, the visionary homeowner who transformed a forgotten bedroom into a straight-up showstopper: The Bourbon Room—a moody, sophisticated cocktail lounge that's equal parts speakeasy swagger and cozy retreat.

Hear the full story straight from Lori (and her partner Ruben) on how they dreamed up the killer concept, hunted down the perfect vintage touches, nailed the lighting, seating, and that signature bourbon-bar magic, and turned an ordinary space into an epic at-home escape where every pour feels like an event.

Whether you're plotting your own dream lounge or just craving some serious home-inspiration with a side of spirits, grab your favorite glass, settle in, and join us for the happiest of Happy Hours. Cheers to bold ideas and even bolder bourbon!

In this weeks episode Bill & Kristin discuss a blog article titled:  Can a Spouse Gamble Away Your Home—or Sell It Without Your Permission?    At some point when discussing the article, we make a left turn and start talking about different ways buyers can elect to 'take title' (Joint Tenants, Tenants In Common etc), and that is when things go off the rails.  Do we actually come to any conclusions in this episode?  The answer is YES, we should probably be drinking less booze.  Nevertheless, here is this weeks sloppy mess of a loosely based real estate podcast episode.  Just don't judge us by this episode alone.  Thank you.  Want to hear the confusion?  Grab a stiff drink so you can get on our level, and join us for Happy Hour!
