Real Estate, For Real

"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.

"I Want to be a Solution Girl"

This week I sit down with Janet Gogerty. We make a few major announcements, reflect on our high school days, learn how she got into, then out of, then back into the business, talk about how we help buyers and sellers in a competitive market, and go over some of our favorite real estate sayings.

"You're Gonna Look Stupid"

This week I welcome Taylor Pierceall to the podcast. We talk about what brought her from Texas to Illinois, the importance of being active in the community, overcoming the fear of putting yourself out there on social media, keeping your word in a transaction, raising kids, and the types of cars that Realtors drive.

"It Took a Dark Turn"

This week I'm joined by Josh Johnson from Hickory Point Bank, and Brady Schroeder from State Farm Insurance. We talk about the upcoming Break for Hot Topics, some of the changes in the insurance industry, and share some stories and experiences from each of our industries.
