In this episode of High Octane Real Estate I finally convinced a very special guest to hop on the mic, my own podcast producer’s husband Roy Stella. Roy is the go to guy for all things low voltage from home security cameras and automation to TVs, lighting, and sound systems. We talk about why security should be a priority for new homeowners, some of the wildest things caught on camera, and how technology can give you peace of mind in your home. You will hear funny stories, cautionary tales, and plenty of real talk about why bigger is always better when it comes to TVs. Whether you are moving into a new place or thinking about upgrading your setup, this conversation will give you the insights you need.

In this episode of High Octane Real Estate, I’m joined by Ana Maria Crucet of Thorsen and Crucet CPA to break down the real tax truths every buyer, seller, and investor needs to know. From home deductions that aren’t as straightforward as they seem, to the flashy write-offs that could cost you more than you save, we’re cutting through the noise. Ana gives us the real deal on mortgages, LLCs, investment properties, titling, and yes—even the infamous G-Wagon deduction.

Whether you're a first-time buyer, seasoned investor, or just someone who's tired of thinking your new home comes with a magical tax refund, this one's for you. Grab your favorite beverage (just make sure it’s a business write-off) and listen in as we talk real estate, real strategy, and real consequences when you don’t consult your CPA first.

In this solo episode of High Octane Real Estate, Pam goes full throttle on one of the most frustrating parts of the biz—clients who won’t take professional advice. From sellers clinging to wishful pricing in a shifting market to agents who don’t lock doors (seriously?!), Pam dishes out the real talk with a side of sarcasm, bleach hatred, and even a pedestrian rant for good measure.

It’s part education, part therapy, and 100% truth bombs for buyers, sellers, and the realtors caught in the middle. If you’ve ever wondered what your agent really wants to say to you, this is it. Grab a drink, skip the bleach, and listen in—because the market’s changing, and it’s time to get real.

Welcome back to High Octane Real Estate with Pam Orzan! Buckle up, because in this episode we’re cracking open the wild world of Florida homeowners insurance—yes, your insurance company is totally judging you, and no, it’s not just in your head.

Pam is joined once again by Robert Leute of John Galt Insurance, who spills the real tea on why your neighbor’s policy might be $1,500 cheaper than yours—even if your house is in better shape. We’re diving into Citizens Insurance, new carriers in the Florida market, shady roofers, sky-high premiums, and the absolutely insane ways credit scores, roof deck attachments, and even the wrong photo can jack up your rates.

We also get into how split policies might be your saving grace, why older homes and condos are becoming insurance nightmares, and how fraud and underinsured properties are screwing over everyone. This is the must-listen episode if you're buying, selling, insuring, or just trying not to lose your mind over your premium.

Oh, and of course, we round it out with some tequila-fueled fun, psychic run-ins, time travel dreams, and our usual dose of real estate sass.

Subscribe, download, and leave a 5-star review—or Pam will find you. She is a realtor after all.
