October 28, 2022 158. MARKET UPDATE! Are Construction And Real Estate Prices Finally Falling?
In this episode of The Real Build, I wanted to do an update on the current construction and Real Estate Markets. It has been a while since my last update, and many things have changed. Construction prices are still up, and building materials are still hard to get. Real estate still has low inventory. But the market is definitely changing. I dive into what is happening and my opinion on what to expect in this week's episode.

October 20, 2022 157. Look Out Zillow! Bringing Human Connection Back To Real Estate - With Ryan Poole, Owner of RealTrade
In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with Ryan Poole, owner of RealTrade, out of West Palm Beach, Florida. Ryan is on a mission to change how buyers and sellers search for real estate online and is embracing the real estate community through better communication.

Ryan became a real estate agent 23 years ago because he loved to help people—but things have changed. Large technology platforms have been taking over the industry, intending to automate everything in sight with data and algorithms.

These same platforms tell consumers that they can sit back and let machines do all the work. But buying and selling a home is one of the most important decisions you can make in your life. We need people at the heart of this process.

That's why Ryan started RealTrade - to give us a place to easily and freely do business. By making real estate social, we can innovate for the 21st century without losing sight of what's important. Less algorithms, more humans.

September 21, 2022 155. Study Your Craft
In this episode of The Real Build, I wanted to talk about the importance of knowing your product from the ground up. Understanding how a home is built and knowing your product will help you sell more and gain your clients' respect.

I have worked in sales for a long time, and one thing that I have always made an effort to do is to learn as much as I can about the products I'm selling. Knowledge is critical, and the more knowledge you have the more success you will have. In construction, I have learned over the years about materials and how a house is built from the ground up. This has also helped me in my real estate career because I can answer questions about construction that most realtors can't.

September 07, 2022 154. Excellence Is The Standard When It Comes To Your Homes Interior Design - With Alexis Soof of Soof Construction and Design
In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with Alexis Soof of Soof Construction and Design. I have known Alexis for a couple of years through an entrepreneur group called the Arete Syndicate. I was excited to have Alexis on and talk about all the amazing things she is doing in the interior design space. Being in the building industry, you know a great interior designer when you see one, and Alexis is by far one of the best. She puts her heart into every client project, big or small, and over-delivers. She sets a standard for excellence in every project.

Alexis and I covered quite a few topics like bringing a designer in early on when building a home, Qualifying an interior designer, Standards designers should have, What to look for when hiring an interior designer, and so much more. If you are thinking about building a new home or looking to redo your current home, you are going to want to listen to this.

September 01, 2022 153. Improving The Construction Industry With Advanced Tech - With Maria Khokhlova Of Traceair
In this episode of The Real Build, I sat down with Maria Khokhlova, the Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at TraceAir, a site work intelligence software and user-friendly technology that helps construction companies build advanced automation using drone flights, 3D mapping, analytics, and data processing services to accelerate site work and provide transparency to owners.
Maria and I discussed her technology and how it improves the construction industry. The construction industry is one of the slowest growing industries regarding new technology. Many years have gone by and contractors still use old processes and materials. But the future is bright for the industry as new technology like Maria's is advancing the industry in many ways.

August 17, 2022 151. You Can’t Win Them All. You Have To Move Forward And Learn From Your Mistakes
A topic I wanted to discuss is something that recently happened to me, and it hit me hard the last month. It was bothering me. A home that I do home watch for the previous three years was listed for sale for 5.5 million dollars. Now you are probably saying a couple of things. Wow, that’s an expensive home, and or ok, what’s the big deal?

The primary reason it bothered me was that I do these people's home watch and am a real estate broker. Ive gotten them properties in the past as well. I sold them the lot the home was on! I designed and built the home, which was a huge slap in the face. I went above and beyond for these people. Making sure everything was fixed and running well for them.

But yet, they listed with another agent.

At first, I was bothered by it. I'm competitive, but I also couldn’t comprehend why they did it. I looked for reasons. I blamed others for it. I was angry.

After a bit, I started to think back to everything I’ve learned through my personal development journey. I needed to stop pointing the finger at others and look at myself.

August 10, 2022 150. Setting The Standard High In Every Structural Steel Project - Zach Burick Owner Of Duggins Welding
In this episode of The Real Build, I featured Zach Burick, the owner of Duggins Welding in Salem, North Carolina. Zach and his team specialize in installing structural steel for multi-story buildings, manufacturing centers, schools, churches, and commercial/office projects. Zach and I talked about his process, leading a team at a young age, and the importance of structural steel in a project.

Zach spent nearly a decade working for Duggins Welding before acquiring the company in late October 2021. Zach started in the field as a general laborer while still in school at UNC Charlotte and worked his way to estimating, project management, and now owner. Zach's goal is to honor the foundation laid by Derek Duggins, who started the company in 1986, continue to grow the company, and build his legacy.

Duggins Welding is proud to have completed more than 30 years in business. We are family-owned and operated AISC CSE (Certified Steel Erector), and we concentrate on projects located throughout North Carolina.
