The Radio Realtors featuring Robert Lewis Real Estate Podcast

Smart homes are getting smarter, but are they also getting a little creepy?

On this episode of Radio Realtors with Robert Lewis, we're diving into The Smart Home Takeover and exploring some of the coolest, strangest, and most futuristic technology making its way into our homes.

From video doorbells, smart locks, robot vacuums, intelligent thermostats, and automated lighting to AI refrigerators, security cameras, robot companions, voice controlled homes, and even a $4,000 smart toilet, we're asking the big question: Is it cool or creepy?

I'll rate the gadgets on their Cool Factor, Creep Factor, whether I'd put them in my own home, and whether they could actually help when it comes time to sell.

Plus, what smart home features are today's buyers really looking for, and which expensive upgrades probably won't give you your money back?

It's technology, real estate, a few laughs, and a glimpse into what the home of the future may look like.

Don't just listen to me on the radio. Let me be your REALTOR®!

On this episode of Radio Realtors, Robert Lewis with Made 4 More Realty reveals 6 common mistakes empty nesters make when downsizing and how to avoid making an expensive decision you'll regret.

We talk about why downsizing isn't simply about buying a smaller house. It's about creating a plan for your next chapter, understanding your equity, considering taxes and moving expenses, deciding what you really need, and choosing a home that fits the lifestyle you want today.

Plus, we're talking about the Federal Reserve holding interest rates steady and what the current mortgage rate environment could mean for homebuyers and sellers. Should you buy now? Should you sell? Or should you wait?

The answer depends on your situation, and that's exactly why having a strategy matters.

Think you’ve been priced out of the Northern California housing market? 🏡 You may just be looking in the wrong places!

On this episode of The Radio Realtors, Robert Lewis reveals The Secret Affordable Housing Map, uncovering some of the more affordable places to buy across Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Yuba and Nevada counties.

We’re comparing existing homes AND brand-new construction, including areas where prices may be substantially below the county median. We’ll also explore builder incentives, financing opportunities, closing cost assistance and other programs that could make buying a home more affordable than you think.

You’ll hear about affordable pockets hiding inside some of Northern California’s more expensive counties and why the lowest priced home isn’t necessarily the most affordable home once you factor in interest rates, insurance, taxes, HOA costs, repairs and incentives.

🔑 The big takeaway: Don’t assume you can’t afford to buy until we look at the numbers together.

Whether you’re interested in a brand-new home or an existing home, call Robert Lewis at 916 751 1388 and let’s build your own Secret Affordable Housing Map! 🗺️🏠

🏡 What is your home REALLY worth?

This week on The Radio Realtors, Robert Lewis takes a closer look at one of the most popular numbers in real estate: the Zillow Zestimate.

Zillow is an incredible resource for buyers and sellers, and our real estate team is proud to be a Zillow Preferred Team. But is an online estimate the same as what your home could actually sell for?

We break down how automated home valuations work, why estimates can change when a home hits the market, and why factors such as condition, upgrades, lot, location, neighborhood demand and current competition can make a big difference.

👶 We’re also talking about Redfin’s childcare listings, which are giving home shoppers another way to consider childcare options when deciding where to live.

👑 And we’re showcasing Regal in Roseville, our beautiful listing at 1084 Kensington Dr., Roseville, CA 95661.

Thinking about selling? Don’t rely on just one online number. Contact Robert for a complimentary Equity Report or Comparative Market Analysis and find out what your home could realistically sell for in today’s Northern California market.
