RECkoning with Real Estate – EP. 33: Now Debuting: The “REC Agent!”

Descripción

We’re back with Paige, Marc, and Taylor, continuing the conversation around what it really means to be a “Realtor®” versus a real estate agent, and sharing more about how REC came to be. Listen in to hear how REC was strengthened through underappreciated activism and a distaste for the industry, its branding, and what it stands for. We introduce the idea of a “REC agent,” which is our version of a real estate agent that still handles all the same responsibilities, but with a different approach. REC agents stay away from rigid systems; we question pricing and industry norms; we make sure to listen deeply, and show up as full-service without the inflated price tag. We’re choosing to slow down even though it might mean taking potential losses, because we actually care about the people we’re working with instead of just following a script. And to be clear, we do not want to criticize individual agents, we are challenging the industry, the associations, and the brand as a whole. At REC, we just want to ask the questions, and keep pushing on the ones that have gone unasked for far too long.

RECkoning with Real Estate – EP. 36 (Encore): Insurance Questions Homeowners Don’t Always Think to Ask

This episode originally aired February 1, 2026: In this episode, we continue our conversation with Ben Feldman. This is an encore episode that was aired previously, but that we thought important enough to re-run! Ben is one of the owners of Active Insurance Solutions, an independently owned insurance company. In this episode, we unpack often-overlooked parts of homeowners insurance, including roof coverage, minimum deductibles, and common add-ons/endorsements. These details don’t come up often, but they’re helpful to understand ahead of time, before it may be too late. Find us at therecollab.com [https://www.therecollab.com/] A few key takeaways: * Home insurance should be reviewed annually, as coverage and risk change over time. * A sewer line inspection can help clarify responsibility before it’s too late! Don’t skimp out on getting this done. * When building your real estate team (insurance broker, real estate agent, mortgage lender, home inspector, title officer, and real estate attorney), look local. Find trustworthy people that are easily accessible so that you know exactly who you’ll be talking with every time. Definitions: * Roof exclusions: Certain policies limit or exclude coverage for roof damage based on factors like age, material, or cause of loss. This can mean repairs are only partially covered—or not covered at all—depending on the situation. * Impact-resistant shingle classes: Roofing materials are rated based on how well they withstand hail and impact. Higher-rated shingles can reduce damage risk and, in some cases, influence insurance coverage or premiums.
