We Need Closure

Cute as a button Kate Peterson, with Highland Homes, has entered the chat! Heather kicks off the episode welcoming our best-dressed guest, Kate Peterson to the podcast and Kalyn gets a lesson on why new-builds can be an answer to some REALTORS and home buyer's prayers. Diving into all the new home building trends, what's in and what's out, home builder's current build timelines and Kate's charming and darling expertise, the hosts bombard their poor guest with all the questions to make sure you get all the answers. Tune in for Kate's brave first day on the job and Kalyn and Heather's controversial opinions about interior design (HINT: open concepts, soggy baths, and white painted brick!)

We've never claimed to be the smartest ones in the room, but this week we were easily coming in last place. Scott McKnight, owner and lead attorney of McKnight Title joins the hosts this week to provide expert knowledge around the importance of using a reputable title company, what title insurance actually is and stories of assault, secret marriages and all the events that can (and have) occurred at a closing. Heather and Kalyn admit that they rely on the title company for more than they should (Can you set up the buyer's utilities for us?) and Scott continues to be the expert on all things the title company does for us and our clients. Because there's never enough time, enjoy Part I of our title episode and join us next month as we ask more title questions in a second interview!

On this week's episode Kalyn and Heather battle for queen of the soap box and attempt to give advice on what REALTORS, or anyone in the service industry, should be doing if business feels slow. Still finding yourself on the couch binging Real Housewives? (We might be too.) But we can help! The hosts provide some tips and tricks to help you get organized, create real relationships with past and potential clients and help you get ready to get busy! Though controversial, their tips do not include attending mega conferences and conducting random cold calls, but instead help you get pumped for the year ahead with some new tools and a little advice. Not looking for advice right now? No problem - hit play and we'll provide some laughs along the way.

Just another day in the life of a REALTOR. Starting off this year's interviews strong, Fort Worth REALTOR Brian Holland understands the true ups and downs of this crazy industry as he shares a terrifying encounter of a home owner pulling a gun on him and his client as they toured a property (always announce yourself, friends!). Quickly diving into the amazing transformation of his Historic Home on the Southside of Fort Worth, (featured in 360 West Magazine and showcased on the 2022 Candlelight Christmas Tour) the hosts learn what it takes to tackle a project of this size while trying to stay sane. A big thanks to Brian for sharing his time and stories and no thanks to Heather for forgetting where Kalyn went to college but we still love you.

Buckle up, listener. This week's episode is a doozy. A rocky road down memory lane leaves the hosts with side aches from laughing so hard at all the jobs and careers they've held prior to getting into real estate. From American Eagle to Cheddars Scratch Kitchen, financial institutions and beyond, Heather and Kalyn are grateful for where they are but will never forget where they've come from - a long road of embarrassing or difficult careers. Ending the episode with some relevancy for the listeners, the hosts touch on the right steps to take if you are thinking about becoming a REALTOR in the new year and how to be successful. Thanks to all of the listeners for betting on us and coming back for Season 2!

It's the last episode of the year! And hosts Kalyn and Heather decided to give the listeners an informative episode before ringing in the New Year. They've got these real estate licenses - might as well put them to use, right? A pitiful attempt at a Top 10 Countdown, Heather and Kalyn talk about when to engage a REALTOR, finding the right lender and the best "home work" they can give you to save everyone time, energy and stress when buying a home.

On this week’s episode Heather and Kalyn brought in their therapist, just kidding but close- fellow real estate agent Corey Bearden. The trio discuss their first listings (which ironically none of them actually sold) and discuss how sometimes maybe divine intervention keeps them in this business. Corey’s background in counseling helps him be a better agent than most and he touches on how to handle tough situations with clients in a calm, productive way- spoiler alert, it’s not sending a prolonged text that doesn’t make sense or screaming. Also, Heather is left to wonder again what the word “opine” means. One day she’ll ask Kalyn but she’s sure it has something to do with her being a Yankee…

On this week's episode, Heather and Kalyn finally took it too far and harassed their fellow colleagues at the annual LEAGUE Christmas party to get the boldest and best real estate stories (you're welcome). In addition to getting the best stories of the season, they are also afraid they no longer have jobs and went ahead and applied to work at Anthropologie because of Heather's blunder with our broker and his AirB&B. Join us for a festive set of stories, embarrassment and opinions on this week's submissions and of course, laughs along the way.

On this week's episode, Heather and Kalyn interviewed everyone's favorite professional inspector: Dale Sherman with Chubby Hubby Inspections (and yes - that's really the name of his company.) Discussing all the joys of inspection reports like black mold, hydrostatic plumbing tests and what "up to code" actually means, Dale has the girls laughing all the way. We learn that Dale is not only the only inspector in the state of Texas with a masters degree in Aeronautical Sciences but he easily has some of the best stories we've heard. Sit back, relax and get ready to laugh (and learn a little!)

On this week's episode, Heather and Kalyn are a bit banged up after a bender Thanksgiving week but happy to be back yacking it up on the pod. They share all the things they are thankful for in real estate and how they'll soon be accepting orders for #RespectTheOption and #SweetSweetPending merchandise so start saving your pennies now. The hosts discuss the long-gone traditions of Black Friday, how Kalyn strategically plans her Christmas gifts and we finally find out what's really in Heather's coffee mug.
