The Paco the Realtor Podcast

Not everyone wants a brand-new home. Some people want a front porch, distinctive architecture, and a place with a story.

Come explore Grand Boulevard and the historic heart of Corona with me—from the circular street design that gave the Circle City its identity to its early automobile races, classic homes, and everyday life around downtown.

Understanding a neighborhood goes beyond bedrooms and square footage. It’s about its history, character, and what it feels like to spend time there.

Would you choose a historic home with character or a brand-new home? 👇

With more real estate transactions falling out of escrow, there's a bigger conversation we need to have about how Realtors represent their clients.

One of the biggest reasons transactions fall apart is inspection issues and requests for repairs. But does that mean buyers are being unreasonable? Or are sellers sometimes unwilling to negotiate?

Here's my perspective: As Realtors, we're married to the client, not the transaction.

Our job isn't to push every deal across the finish line just to collect a commission. It's to protect our clients, educate them, negotiate on their behalf, and sometimes advise them to walk away.

Because real estate should be about long-term relationships, not one-time transactions.

So here's my question to my fellow Realtors: Are we building relationships like eHarmony, or just looking for the next transaction like Tinder?

You can find horse trails in Norco, rolling hills in Chino Hills, newer neighborhoods in Eastvale, historic streets in Riverside, and wide-open views near Lake Mathews. Every place has something special—and a tradeoff worth knowing before you move.

In this video, I’m taking you through Chino, Chino Hills, Eastvale, Corona, Norco, Jurupa Valley, Riverside, Moreno Valley, Perris, and Lake Mathews.

Which one feels most like home to you? Tell me in the comments.

The way buyers choose a home has changed.

Today, the monthly payment can matter more than the purchase price—and the neighborhood and lifestyle can matter more than an extra bedroom.

Buyers aren’t just asking, “How big is the house?” They’re asking:

What will my payment be?

Sometimes the right home isn’t the biggest one. It’s the home that gives you the lifestyle you want—with a payment you can comfortably live with.

You’re not just buying a house. You’re buying the payment, the neighborhood and the life that comes with it.

What matters most to you: the house itself or the lifestyle surrounding it?

Fear still shows up in my life.

I feel it when I have to make a difficult phone call, tell a client something they may not want to hear, ask for business, or keep working without knowing whether the effort will ever pay off.

For years, I believed that success would eventually make the fear disappear. Now I understand that courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s taking action while fear is still present.

Fear can speak. I can listen to what it’s trying to tell me. But it no longer gets a vote in my decisions.

Because every time I face something I’m afraid of, I become a little stronger, a little more honest, and a little closer to the person I’m trying to become.

That’s my perspective. What’s yours?

Your Circumstances Don’t Decide Who You Become

Title: Stop Comparing Your Life to Everyone Else’s

Description:

Someone has more money. A better career. A stronger relationship. More success. And before you know it, you’re judging your entire life against what you can see of someone else’s.

But we rarely know the whole story.

I’m learning that the better comparison isn’t me versus someone else. It’s me versus who I was yesterday.

Stay on your path. Keep working. Keep growing.
