In this episode, I speak with Todd Campbell, whose Farmers Insurance Agency is serving 99% of people that come in with 99% of their business and personal insurance needs. He opened that agency in 2009, where he serves the entire state of Texas. He and his team have grown the agency primarily through referrals focused on the Real Estate market.

 Many people talk to their insurance agent like they would talk to a car salesman, shopping by price, without understanding what the real costs are. There’s no way to reduce the price of insurance without reducing the protections. It’s important to have an agent that is willing to tell you everything you need to know to make the right decision for your situation.

Agents come free with the policy, so take advantage of having a consultant on your side!

Who you're in business with matters! To get in contact with Todd for all of your insurance questions, use any of the methods listed below.

In this episode, I'm back with Mylo Draven of VIP Mortgage to talk about what's going on in the finance world. Mylo is an author, speaker, and an Award-Winning Loan Officer. He doesn't pull any punches when working with his borrowers; he wants to make sure every client knows what the lending process entails and requires. His greatest pride is a successful transaction where the new homeowner is happy.
 
 "It just starts with a thought: 'I want to buy a home.' The next thought should NOT be, 'ugh but my credit is horrible' or 'oh I don't have enough money' or 'oh the rates are high.' The next thought should be 'I need to call a lender. I need to call a realtor'. Keep the forward momentum because ultimately what someone thinks is a hard stop, for you and I is nothing. It's just a day in the life of the business."
 
Who you're in business with matters! To get in contact with Mylo for any and all of your lending questions, use any of the methods listed below.

In this episode, I speak with Justin Mirche about credit, credit scores, and mortgage scores. Justin is the founder and president of Creative Credit Solutions - "The Credit Restoration Experts." He has a vast background in finance and has been the go-to person for friends, clients, and colleagues for years to assist in solving a wide array of credit and finance challenges. His experience and dedication have truly transformed lives.

"A vast majority of Americans don't have a budget; they don't know what's going in and what's coming out, if they overspent for the month. They don't know, okay, well, here's my goal for the month and I messed that up badly this month and I'm going to make it up in the next month. They don't have a plan, which is pretty normal. Most people aren't financially oriented. I went to school for finance, I love economic everything. I watch the markets all day. I love talking about this stuff; it's truly my passion, it's truly who I am. Which is why I started this kind of company."

In this episode, I'm back with Season 1 guest: Alesia Dutton, the Reverse Mortgage Lady. Alesia was recruited into the Reverse Mortgage Industry in 2013. Her relationships with local bankers and financial advisors made for a perfect transition into Reverse Mortgage. She was hired to do Reverse and Reverse only. To this day she is still hyper-focused on this market.

Alesia has been on the Board of NAIFA New Mexico and Dallas (National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors). This position allows her access to up-to-date information on government changes that can affect retirement and asset growth.

She has dedicated her career to educating bankers, loan officers, financial advisors, and realtors about the Reverse Mortgage program. She prides herself on personally walking all homeowners through the process and getting to know them as individuals. Their needs and timeline are always the priority!

There are so many misconceptions about Reverse Mortgages, and Alesia is here to clear everything up for us! She tells us that Reverse Mortgages are a refinance on your house for seniors over 62, but no payments are required until you are no longer living in your home (whether you’ve passed on or have moved out). When you take out a Reverse Mortgage, the bank or government DOES NOT own your home, it is still in your name. You just need to continue to pay insurance and taxes, as you would with any loan.

Who you're in business with matters! To get in contact with Alesia for all your reverse mortgage needs, use any of the methods listed below.

In this episode, I'm back with Megan Reeves of Pacesetter Homes, talking about new construction just in time for the spring market. We've seen lots of changes in the housing market, at least in DFW (and probably most other places as well), within the last six months, and Megan is going to give us the lowdown on the new construction market today.

Megan grew up in Real Estate but started working in new home construction in 2014. She's worked for a handful of different builders but has been working for Pacesetter Homes since mid-2020 and can't say enough great things about their management team and ethos. She actually lives in a Pacesetter Home with her husband and their 3 fur babies, and they absolutely love it there.

Megan says that in January of this year, she sold more homes than in her entire first year in New Home Sales, indicating that more homebuyers are looking for new construction homes vs older homes.

How does the market differ now that spring of 2023 has passed? Call me, let’s have a discussion about it.

In this episode, I speak with Mandy Moss about the ins and outs of Title insurance in the state of Texas. Mandy is a Vice President / Escrow Officer for Republic Title. She's been with Republic Title for almost 22 years and is starting her 9th year as a full-time Escrow Officer. She specializes in residential as well as condos and new developments.

Title Insurance is an insurance policy that insures you have free and clear title and no one else can claim your property. It is a one-time cost that you pay at close when you purchase the property and lasts until you no longer own or have interest in the property. Mandy goes much more in depth in what Title Insurance entails and how it can help you keep your home in case someone tries to stake a claim to your home.

In this episode, I speak with Karla Corcoran about the different types of lenders, so when the need arises, you'll know who you can trust to work with. Karla has been a Residential Loan Officer since 1997. She is currently with Groves Captial, which is a Broker with over 160 lender relationships and who will shop on their client's behalf to find the perfect loan for one's personal situation.

I feature a lot of lenders on my show because, along with the agent, we are the first two people you need to be speaking with when purchasing a home and getting that whole process started. Every lender approaches things differently, just like Realtors; you want someone you can relate to, whom you can trust, etc. It's important to have good team around you no matter what you're doing.

Host Robin McCoy talks with Mike Finney with Neighborhood Solar to mesh out the pros & cons of residential solar energy. Is solar an advantage? Or is it a hindrance to the sale of your home? This conversation will open your eyes and give you a better idea of whether or not solar is for you. Mike started in the business after looking for his own solar options and since has become a trusted advisor to Realtors, offering brokerage services instead of representing one particular company. It's important to get the right fit for your needs and your home.

In this episode, I speak with Neighborhood Solar Guru Mike Finney about solar energy.  Neighborhood Solar is the only true solar brokerage in Texas. They shop the entire solar market to make sure their customers make the best possible solar decision. They take an education approach with no stress, no pressure; they love partnering with other industries and giving other forms of revenue with little-to-no effort or investment.

When Mike was looking for solar energy as a consumer, he saw the potential within the industry but realized just how unregulated it was and wanted to make a change. He did his research and noticed how every company out there seemed to have their own ways of doing things. Now he does the work for his clients, partnering them with trusted solar energy companies and taking a lot of stress out of their decision-making.

Take a listen to the episode to learn more about solar energy, and reach out to Mike via the channels listed in the links below. Also available on your favorite podcast players!
