"Happy Father's Day"

"Happy Father's Day"

This week I'm joined by my son, Jase Daley, who is wrapping up his first year in real estate. Along with some delicious chocolate, coming on the podcast was his Father's Day present to me. We talk about growing up with Realtor for a parent, his expectations getting into the business, working with first-time buyers, what he'd do differently knowing what he knows now, and how to improve on a successful first year.

A Little Grace

This week is a solo episode. I give some insight on what the year has been like up to this point and share some stories from transactions that I've learned from. Trying to keep building and growing while fending off stress and burnout. I do my best to shed a little light on what a life in real estate is really like.

"Man, I'm So Great"

On this episode I'm joined by Brian Moore to discuss the new Uniform Appraisal Dataset changes set to take place in November. We talk about the upcoming Break for Hot Topics event, featuring a panel of local appraisers who will fill us in on what the new format will entail. Brian and I cover what impact it may have on how Realtors do their job, the advantage of learning as much about this as we can ahead of time, the added difficulties this will present to people trying to sell without an agent, the importance of communication and cooperation between Realtors and appraisers, and then we cover Brian's own story of getting into real estate.

"Keep Pushing"

This week I welcome Lori Waggener. We talk about her 34 years in the business, the early days of The Real Estate Group, how our clients' expectations have changed over the years, winding down her career, working alongside her son, and the incredible patience it takes to be a Realtor's spouse.

"You Can Leave"

This week I'm joined by Brian Cisna with Guild Mortgage. We talk about moving back to Central IL from Texas, building relationships with local Realtors, the flexibility that Guild provides, how he met his wife and enjoying their opportunity to work together, communicating, open houses, and being one the fastest swimmers in the country.
