Well, it's almost 12 am on February 1, 2025, and I've officially created the first episode, of many, for the relaunch I've been craving for a long, long time. This little solo episode is basically just a place holder for the month of January, as I work towards building these skills back up and coordinate future podcast guests. Bear with me while I slowly figure this thing out, but I'd rather it be done and messy than procrastinate for any longer. I hope this ridiculous episode inspires you to pick up that hobby you've been wanting to try, or start all over again, despite the outcome.I hope you'll join me on the continuation of this adventure!_____________________________________________________________Mentions: Giggly Squad
This 2022, my word of the year is FOCUS! I've been choosing a word since 2015, and every year I learn the ins and outs of the exact word that I feel like my life is lacking, in some way..Here's what I've come to discover, thus far:F - find the time and make sure to prioritize your dayO - offer yourself grace while learning what works for you and pivoting how you structure your calendar, because like the seasons, our needs change and morph over timeC - cultivate a schedule that feels good to youU - understand that you can do more than you thinkS - sleep. As much as you can..As it may, these insights could change over the next few quarters of the year, but all I know is - focus on your daily actionable tasks and your future you will thank you :).Links: @seasyourhome

In my opinion, it's not only Rafay's hard work and dedication to his craft, but it's his willingness to share and connect that has likely gotten him to where he stands today..We touch on for sale by owners, from the point of view of prospecting as a real estate agent, as well as the essential importance of working with the right team of inspectors, attorneys and mortgage lenders who won't kill the deal, but WILL have the wherewithal to critically think around the challenges that inevitably pop up in the home buying or selling process..Links: @rafay_qamar // The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod // The Miracle Morning for Real Estate Agents by Hal Elrod // The 5 am Club by Robin Sharma // Landvoice // RedX // @spirituallynutritious // @seasyourhome // my website See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sayonara, 2021!.As we wrap up the year, we have our final solo episode!! I decided this time last year that the end of every quarter would be a solo wrap up of how my word of the year is coming along..In this final episode of the year, I talk about how choosing a word for the year helps me exponentially expand my understanding of that word. Generally, I pick a word I feel like I could embrace more of, myself, and then I tend to open up the flood gates of that word and the year progresses. The year becomes this, "case study," let's call it, where I end up exploring the entire spectrum of that word..I discuss giving ourselves Grace in the face of a learning curve. It's a tricky place to be when you're basically the Freshman of an industry. I decided not to be so hard on myself in the midst of becoming what it takes to serve my clients: professionally, seamlessly and successfully..The most challenging part, I came to find, is giving Grace to those who hurt you, challenge your patience or ignite some unwanted emotions out of you. Grace allows us to open up and get to the bottom of how we feel, but it also teaches us when to let certain people go from our lives when we feel fit. If that person is in a position where you can't let them go physically due to outside circumstances, you let them go emotionally so that their attempt to control you is far less powerful than your ability to refrain from reverting back to immature responses..Living through Grace is allowing for the mistakes to guide us and being OKAY with fucking up, essentially. Shit happens. If we live and learn through it, we become a smarter version of ourselves..This 2022, I want to remind you to focus on your WHY and not so much the HOW. I don't mean leave the how up to your wildest dreams, but do whatever it is, in your power, to make change and be the trailblazer in your life. The HOW will unfold as you put in the work.. I promise. A fun example of that is getting started with a podcast, almost 3 years ago now, and having an episode with the Borough President of Brooklyn, at the time. Now, this incredible man, is the Mayor of New York City and I had the chance to speak with the most respectable politician, in my opinion, because I continued doing the work. Then, not long after, I had one of my favorite podcasters of all time on my show, Stephanie Simbari, from That's so Retrograde. I literally slid into her DMs with a voice note after being engaged with her work for years, seeing her live twice in NYC, introducing myself and giving the two co-hosts a little gift, and asked if she would come onto the show. She was more than happy to support me and connect. I took bold risks, stepped out of my comfort zone and interviewed people who were WAY out of my league in terms of “success” in numbers, and it continues to blow me away when I receive an incredible opportunity..This 2022 is yours for the taking! Little changes in our daily routine can go a long way..What's your word for 2022?!.Links: @lalahdelia // @seasyourhome // @spirituallynutritious See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

What is resale and why should I consider it, you ask? Wonderful question!.Is getting a home you absolutely adore and love worth a few extra home cooked meals versus date night out on the town or a little less avocado toast from your favorite local cafe?.In this episode, Deb Sprung and I discuss how markets are cyclical and ever changing, so it's important to consider that the house you're shopping for will be desired by others in the future whether you plan on moving out or not.. we never ever know what curve ball will be thrown at us next..We also talk about how getting more of what you want may come at a cost, but when you calculate with your lender the monthly price difference between paying $350k for a house and $360k, it's actually quite small when you break it down that way!.Another topic we touch on is how clarity comes over time with exploring the market and seeing what's out there. Sometimes, we don't know what we want or need until we find it. Other times, we discover what it is we truly want or need because we found something great, but it doesn't have x, y, or z and suddenly you feel like you couldn't live without it. My mom, Deb Sprung, goes over ALL of it..Obviously, one of the most pleasurable aspects of homeownership is having the freedom to do WHATEVER the hell you want to your home, but all we suggest is that you do so with intention..Links: @debsprung // @seasyourhome // @spirituallynutritious See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

.In this episode, I talk you through the step by step process of buying a home and ~almost~ everything that happens within a transaction..I share the journey it takes to find the right home, how clarity shows up in different ways for every buyer, and my perspective on how shopping for a house is like dating and looking for the right partner..I go over so many little fun facts about purchasing real estate that most millennials don't know if they're not in the industry; for example, did you know that buyers don't pay the commission here in NJ? That is fully the responsibility of the sellers. Another surprising factor is that despite our offer being accepted and in the attorney review process, some sellers might still be open to other offers and cancelling the deal before being under contract. Once we're under contract, we can breathe a little bit better knowing that we're in a safe zone..This episode paints a picture as to the extensive work and detail that goes into buying a house; it's not as easy as finding a cute home on Realtor.com and using PayPal - that's for SHORE! ;) #seasyourhome.Steps:Choose an agent to represent you Connect with a mortgage lender and get pre-approvedWe start the search and begin touring homes!!Put in an offer, get accepted and commence the Attorney Review process before being Under ContractInspections of the homeAppraisalClosing day!!

Right here, actually :).Marc Demetriou is an expert in all things finance and mortgages, but from a holistic POV.

We cover MANY of those topics in this conversation, including, but not limited to.....Taking educated chances and risks, as well as what it means to take out a mortgage with a lender when buying a house..Marc goes over what exactly he looks into when approving you to buy a house, we cover bits of pieces of conventional loans versus an FHA loans, we touch on appraisals and what it means when a house under-appraises, and the list goes on, but that's only part of it all in the thirty minutes we had!.Links: Marc's book on Amazon // @marcdemetriou // @themarcdemetriouteam // @seasyourhome // @spirituallynutritious.Definitions:Credit Score - "a number assigned to a person that indicates to lenders their capacity to repay a loan."Assets - "property owned by a person or company, regarded as having value and available to meet debts, commitments, or legacies."Down Payment - "an initial payment made when something is bought on credit."Lien - "a right to keep possession of property belonging to another person until a debt owed by that person is discharged."Defaulting on a house - "A default occurs when a borrower is unable to make timely payments, misses payments, or avoids or stops making payments on interest or principal owed.
