We Need Closure

Who's ready for summer? We are only in the first week of summer and there's already enough to fill an entire episode for our darling listeners. Tune in this week to hear all about Kalyn's trip from hell, why Heather actually went to Hell (Las Vegas), the time she saw her beloved Justin Timberlake in concert and how Heather saved Kalyn's tushy by assisting in a big, imporant real estate deal. (Do we think we see a future Real Estate Team for this duo?) Turning our attention to the tense real estate market, we share our opinions on the reality of the current market for seller's, what we are seeing, how we are advising our clients and why it's more important than ever to have a great real estate agent right now. Always fun, always chaotic but always fun - and there's even a cameo from our children who visited our podcast summer camp for the day. Thanks as always for listening!

In honor of our 50th episode, we've invited our friend, fellow agent and truly saint-like Fort Worth resident, John Staab to the podcast today! In the words of Heather, we can' thelp but "love/hate" this kind soul as he not only gets all the good listings, he has a passion for helping others and takes significant action to help make our world a better place. In following the "one-for-one" model, learn how John has committed to his pledge of giving back to the communities in Zambia, Africa, donating the funds for housing with each home he sells here in Texas. He's even added a commercial component to help local business owners provide for their families by investing in their farms and other trades. Although we love the philanthropic efforts by our friend John, he doesn't disapoint in bringing a story that will leave you blushing or giggling - truly all in a days of work of a Fort Worth real estate agent. John Staab is the Broker and Owner of Motive Real Estate Group - to learn more about his "A Home for a Home" Giving efforts, learn more on his website: https://www.motiverealestategroup.com/giving/
