- Celebrating Home and Hearth (in Sickness and in Health)
Robert Frost said, “Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.” Yet home means different things for different people. There’s no one way it has to be. Yet, as Sherry Richert Belul reminds us, if your home doesn’t feel like “home,” you may need to “practice like your hair is on fire” in order to find your way. And, although it may not be exactly what you imagined it would be, simply having a home is a reason to celebrate every day!

57 min - What Realtors Actually Do: It’s Not What You Think!
If you watch real estate reality shows, you’d believe that successful Realtors spend their working days driving around in luxury vehicles, talking on their mobile phones, drinking wine at leisurely lunches and turning their noses up at everyone’s home decor. Yet, in truth, real estate agents are the unsung heroes of everything to do with home. They navigate a labyrinth of complexity with finesse, expertise and heart while keeping their fiduciary obligation as their north stars. Misunderstood and underestimated, they “work hard for the money” by accepting every challenge – from impromptu toilet cleaning to fighting for an extra $100,000 for a client. Amy Clemens of Pacific Edge Real Estate in San Francisco joins Cynthia to talk about what really goes on in a day in the life of a Realtor.
