Real Estate, For Real

This week I'm joined by Andrew Cornett and Bill Townsend to talk about the upcoming lender panel, as well other topics surrounding the current mortgage climate. Interest rates, condos, bridge loans, and other programs currently available to help buyers secure financing. They'll be presenting more at 9am on 10/22 at the CAR building. All Realtors are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Joey Moughan joins me this week to talk about all of different hats he manages to wear while also being a Realtor. Whether he's racing cars, flying planes, selling houses, or painting them, he always has something going on. We cover how racing as a kid led to becoming a pilot, and how flipping houses led to becoming a Realtor. We also get into the market shifts, being replaced by AI, working on a team, and the importance of staying visible online.

This week I welcome my friends Ketki Arya and Janet Gogerty back to the podcast. The goal was to just tell some funny stories about our experiences in the business. We get into mean comments on my TikToks, finding drugs in houses, uncomfortable coversations, surprising a seller in the shower, and plenty more!

On this episode I'm joined by Andrew Kinney. We talk about the dynamics of running a real estate team, integrating into a new community, social media, commission vs compensation, setting seller expectations, letting real estate define who you are, and whether he prefers "Andrew" or "Drew."

This week I'm joined by my son, Jase Daley, who is wrapping up his first year in real estate. Along with some delicious chocolate, coming on the podcast was his Father's Day present to me. We talk about growing up with Realtor for a parent, his expectations getting into the business, working with first-time buyers, what he'd do differently knowing what he knows now, and how to improve on a successful first year.

This week is a solo episode. I give some insight on what the year has been like up to this point and share some stories from transactions that I've learned from. Trying to keep building and growing while fending off stress and burnout. I do my best to shed a little light on what a life in real estate is really like.

On this episode I'm joined by Brian Moore to discuss the new Uniform Appraisal Dataset changes set to take place in November. We talk about the upcoming Break for Hot Topics event, featuring a panel of local appraisers who will fill us in on what the new format will entail. Brian and I cover what impact it may have on how Realtors do their job, the advantage of learning as much about this as we can ahead of time, the added difficulties this will present to people trying to sell without an agent, the importance of communication and cooperation between Realtors and appraisers, and then we cover Brian's own story of getting into real estate.

This week I welcome Lori Waggener. We talk about her 34 years in the business, the early days of The Real Estate Group, how our clients' expectations have changed over the years, winding down her career, working alongside her son, and the incredible patience it takes to be a Realtor's spouse.

This week I'm joined by Brian Cisna with Guild Mortgage. We talk about moving back to Central IL from Texas, building relationships with local Realtors, the flexibility that Guild provides, how he met his wife and enjoying their opportunity to work together, communicating, open houses, and being one the fastest swimmers in the country.

This week I sit down with Janet Gogerty. We make a few major announcements, reflect on our high school days, learn how she got into, then out of, then back into the business, talk about how we help buyers and sellers in a competitive market, and go over some of our favorite real estate sayings.
