SPECIAL EDITION
Our guest this time included a dog... not just any dog... it was K9 Brutus from the Reading Police K9 unit!!  You will hear some panting for sure in the background and even a burp at one point from our furry friend.  So much information about this special unit and the costs associated with having a K9 unit.   Brutus is a bomb sniffing dog and thank goodness our studio was cleared! :)

Brutus also brought Officer Josh Faust (his handler) and Suzy Lysczek a committee member of the non profit, The Friends of the Reading Police K9 Unit.  Suzy and her committee raise funds to help defray the costs of having a K9 unit and w/ out their help, this unit probably wouldn't exist. 

I learned so much about how the dogs get trained, where they are from and What Language they Speak!!  Yes that's right,  they do NOT go by English Commands.

As the market changes, we will see more of the past practices coming back into the home sale process... ONE OF THEM is Inspections!! 

Vinny Williamson, from ComfortSpec is here to remind us what the inspection process is all about.  It's NOT a bad thing for anyone, buyers get to know the property better and seller's reduce their after the sale liability.  

We talk about MOLD!  We talk about Septic Inspections!  Vinny Williams says a good inspector is not there to ruin a deal, they are there to educate the buyer on the home they purchased.

First time guest, Chris Heim (Pete Heim's Son), shares a very cool insight into his first 16 months as a Realtor.  He watched his dad in this industry for his whole life and NOW he's seeing it from a totally different angle.  If you ever thought about being a Realtor, you should listen to this podcast.  

Perception of our business is completely different than the reality of our business.  Chris, shares first hand, what he thought it would be like and what he's realizing it's really like.   He also has a passion for helping his clients realize this American Dream of owning a home.  The market is changing and Chris is adapting quickly to help his clients adapt along the way.   

GREAT info about our past market and our current market.  It's still a great market, just a differnt market than we had last year.

The idea for this series came from Brandon Lesagonicz (realtor/friend from Keller Williams).  He said what if we told stories about our business that people don't normally hear?  What if we went behind the scenes to expose the Sad, the Bad and the Funny of our business?   So that's what we decided to do!!

This first episode is us sharing some REAL stories about things that happened to us while helping our clients navigate the home buying/selling process.   We love what we do, but there's definitely crazy things we See, Hear and Unfortunately sometimes SMELL. :)

Join us every episode as we bring on other Realtors to tell their stories and have fun along the way!   Join us on Real Estate and YOU - Behind Closed Doors!

There's so much to think about beyond the home purchase, so I brought Justin Perella in to go over a few important topics to think about.   When you change your financial positions in life (buying a home for first time or upgrading to higher value home), you need to think about things we don't typically like to think about.  What if something happens to you or your spouse?  If the bread winner is no longer around (god forbid), will the remaining spouse be able to keep up with the expenses?  Check your LIFE insurance to be sure there's enough!!

Everyone is talking about the RATES going up... is it really as bad as you think?  Look at the numbers, than look at the investment you are making.  Even at 6.25% YOU should purchase the home you LOVE and in the first year you'll still be ahead!!  Listen to the show to find out why!

If you have any ambitions of investing in real estate... this show is definitely for you.  My good friend and real estate mogul, Kevin Timochenko, gives amazing insight on what it takes to prosper in all facets of REAL ESTATE INVESTING.  

He explains how he wasn't taught to do what he does, and it's not always pretty, but the payoff for him, his family and the 200 people that he employs has been tremendous.  

Does he sleep much... find out!  Does he have other hobbies... find out!  One thing I can tell you is what is most important to him is his wife and six children.  Get to know Kevin... and maybe pick up a tip or two about how to gain wealth through real estate!
