If relationships built your real estate business, what are you doing today to make sure those relationships still remember you when their next move happens? In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes sits down with Tracy Frandsen. Tracy Frandsen is a Northeast Florida real estate professional with 20 years of experience navigating booming markets, the foreclosure crisis, changing technology, and the constant evolution of the real estate industry. Her career began in 2006 in Green Cove Springs and quickly put her in the middle of one of the most challenging periods in housing history, where she worked inside a Fannie Mae brokerage managing foreclosed properties, complicated transactions, distressed homeowners, renters, repairs, valuations, and investor offers. Over the years, Tracy built a business heavily driven by repeat clients and referrals while learning that relationships alone still require consistent nurturing. She shares how working alongside her daughter in law Holly expanded the business, allowed them to combine complementary strengths, and strengthened their marketing and social media presence. Tracy also explains why brokerage support, continuous education, collaboration with other agents, neighborhood farming, staying top of mind, adaptability, and strong negotiation skills remain essential regardless of how experienced an agent becomes.   HighlightsTop of FormBottom of Form 00:00 - 05:20 Tracy Frandsen's Journey Into Real Estate Twenty years in Northeast Florida real estate Moving to Florida and working in retail Getting licensed in 2006 Discovering a love for homes and people Recognizing the long term potential of real estate 05:21 - 12:52 Surviving the Foreclosure Crisis Joining a Fannie Mae brokerage Managing dozens of foreclosed properties Working with occupied and abandoned homes Handling repairs valuations and cash for keys Learning real estate during a historic downturn 12:53 - 23:12 Training Mentorship and Bringing Holly Into the Business Why new agents need hands on support Feeling isolated without strong brokerage leadership The importance of continuous education Holly considering real estate after expecting twins Combining Tracy and Holly's complementary strengths 23:13 - 38:59 Building a Stronger Real Estate Team Creating flexibility through partnership Dividing responsibilities based on individual strengths Holly leading marketing and social media Managing the workload behind client transactions Using brokerage support to expand capacity 39:00 - 57:44 Staying Visible and Generating Repeat Business Why referrals alone are no longer enough Using technology and brokerage resources Staying consistent during busy and slow markets Neighborhood farming through targeted outreach Remaining top of mind with past clients 57:45 - 1:18:49 Collaboration Accountability and Negotiation Adjusting when buyers change their priorities Collaborating with agents inside and outside the brokerage Using accountability and education to keep growing Learning from successful agents and trusted vendors Navigating difficult negotiations and protecting client relationships   Quotes: "I love the real estate business.

It's the best way to support this podcast! www.patreon.com/hauntedcitypodcastThere is a town in West Virginia called Booger Hole, and people kept disappearing from it.In the final episode of Haunted South, Madison and Chris head into Southern Appalachia for three stories out of Tennessee, North Carolina, and West Virginia. Dark woods, old rules, and a mountain range where the folklore is not decoration. It is instruction.First up: the Buckner Witch. Around 1865, a small woman named Polly Brewington arrived in Standing Stone, Tennessee, dressed head to toe in black. She took a job as housemaid for the Buckner family, fell for Alex Buckner, and then things went sideways in a way that is genuinely hard to believe. Climbing into their bed at night. Ripping the covers off. Having her brothers corner Margaret Buckner in an alley. She was finally banished, and she died not long after under circumstances no record can explain. In the middle of her son's second birthday party, Margaret Buckner went blank, stared into the distance, and announced, "Polly Brewington is dead and now she comes to torment me." Nobody could ever explain how she knew.Polly never left. Margaret spent the rest of her life swinging brooms and later a cane at a woman in black who kept showing up in her house, in her bedroom, and eventually at her own funeral.Then we head to Roan Mountain on the Tennessee and North Carolina line, where people have been hearing a choir in the wind since the 1700s. Some hear angels rehearsing for Judgment Day. Others hear screaming. We get into the Cloudland Hotel, the white line painted down the middle of the dining room to separate legal liquor from illegal liquor, the geologist who described a sound like a thousand bees, and the young man who took shelter in a cave during a thunderstorm and came out with his clothes bleached white.And then Booger Hole. Clay County, West Virginia. A stonemason vanished in 1883 carrying 300 dollars. A watchmaker vanished from the schoolhouse in 1897 and left a blood trail to the creek. An old woman named Lacey Ann Boggs was shot in the back of the head while knitting, and the man accused of it told the squire she called him with a witch call that made him fly through his window like a bird and carry her home on his back. By 1917 the county had had enough. One hundred and fifty armed men stormed the jail, shot the building up, dynamited five houses, and nailed a hand written notice to the trees listing exactly who had ten days to leave and who had thirty.Booger Hole has been quiet ever since. Except for the riders you can hear but never see, and the woman in white with the long black hair who wails along the paths at night.Plus a viewer submitted video that we are not fully convinced about, and a conversation about why "don't look in the trees," "if you hear your name called in the woods, you didn't," and "if you hear whistling at night, you didn't" are rules worth keeping.Got a personal ghost story and want it read on the show?

Tameshia Shelton, a Clay County mother of four, is serving life in prison on a murder conviction. But the latest reporting from Jerry Mitchell and Madeline Nguyen has opened the door for her to get a long-awaited retrial. The investigative reporters join Emily Wagster Pettus to discuss their findings and the recent ruling from the Mississippi Supreme Court.

To get to a recent live show in Moorhead, the Minnesota Now team took scenic Highway 10 from St. Paul to learn more about the state from the road. We made a series of audio postcards from notable roadside attractions, including a piece of one of Minnesota's oldest and most recognizable landscapes: tallgrass prairie. The Nature Conservancy recently acquired nearly 2,000 acres of prairieland to protect in Clay County. Their goal is to conserve the plants and create habitat for prairie chickens and pollinators. The site is one of just a few slivers of prairie in a state that used to be covered in tallgrass. Nearby is another of those slivers: the Bluestem Prairie Scientific and Natural Area, which is also protected by the Nature Conservancy. Liz Beery, the group's associate director of grasslands, joined MPR News host Nina Moini for a walk there.

Timothy Devins, Director of Emergency Managemtn, says the Clay County Fair is like a "test for hurricane season," as many different agencies come together to execute plans for all contingencies -- weather & traffic management, security, first aid, locating missing persons (when kids wander off), and more.

Lt. Zach Cox explains how CCSO and other organizations cooperate to provide a secure and enjoyable experience for Clay County Fair guests. A camera system helps to identify issues like finding stray kids, or calming down guests who may have had too much fun. The LEOs are working hard for your safety and entertainment. One of the biggest recurring issues at the Clay Co. Fair has been access in and out of the Fiargrounds area on the 2-lane road, but recent traffic adjustments have improved traffic flow.

In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary experiences of Scott from southern Ohio, whose life has been shaped by encounters that stretch across generations. Growing up with stories from his grandfather about a terrifying creature in the woods of Clay County, West Virginia, Scott shares how those early accounts set the foundation for everything that followed. From a close-range encounter where a family member came face to face with a massive being in rural Ohio, to the deeply unsettling events he experienced as a child in the remote hills of eastern Kentucky, a pattern begins to take shape.Living part of his childhood along the Kentucky River, Scott describes a place where strange activity was treated as part of everyday life. Animals disappeared without a trace, food was left out and taken overnight, and something large moved through the hollers after dark. Known by a name passed quietly through his family—“the cowker”—this presence carried a reputation that kept people inside once night fell.As Scott grew older, the experiences didn't stay in the past. From unexplained activity near a cabin in Tennessee to ongoing encounters in Adams County, Ohio, including movement in the woods, vocalizations, and moments that defy easy explanation, the same feeling followed him into adulthood. Along the way, he connects with others who have seen similar things, reinforcing that these events are not isolated.Scott's account offers a grounded, firsthand look at what happens when multiple generations encounter something they cannot explain, yet never forget.Contact Scott: Scottmusicc@gmail.com

The main topics we cover today are:1. Wind farm bankruptcies and land reclamation liabilities:  - The transcript discusses the bankruptcy filing of a wind farm in Clay County, Texas, which had 119 wind turbines. The wind farm faced $103 million in hedge-related liabilities exacerbated by Winter Storm Uri in 2021.  - The transcript highlights the broader issue of wind farms not having fully funded land reclamation plans, estimating a potential $89 billion liability across the U.S. wind turbine fleet.  - It calls for reforms, suggesting that wind and solar farms should be required to pay for storage and land reclamation upfront as part of their operating costs.2. California's energy challenges:  - The transcript discusses California's energy quagmire, including skyrocketing electricity prices, frequent blackouts, and a heavy reliance on imported power.  - It highlights California's moratorium on nuclear power and the potential to reopen the state's previously decommissioned nuclear facilities, such as Diablo Canyon, to address the energy crisis.3. ConocoPhillips' asset sale in the Permian Basin:  - The transcript examines ConocoPhillips' reported plans to sell certain assets in the Delaware Basin sub-region of the Permian Basin, valued at around $2 billion.  - It provides insights into the company's strategy to streamline its portfolio and maintain production guidance amid a constrained capital expenditure environment.4. Potential merger and acquisition activity in the Canadian oil sands sector:  - The transcript discusses the anticipation of merger mayhem in the Canadian oil sands sector, driven by record production levels and diversified export destinations.  - It mentions several Canadian oil companies, such as Suncor, Canadian Natural Resources, and Imperial Oil, that are eyeing potential U.S. listings.5. Geopolitical tensions and their impact on oil markets:  - The transcript discusses the potential risk of supply disruptions from Iran and Iraq, which has led oil traders to hedge against this risk.  - It suggests that the market is pricing in a potential risk premium of up to $10 per barrel due to the escalating tensions.6. Challenges faced by hyperscale data centers in securing reliable power:  - The transcript examines the growing electricity demand from hyperscale data centers and the challenges they face in finding adequate and reliable power supply, particularly from renewable sources.  - It questions the feasibility of data centers claiming to be 100% renewable, suggesting that nuclear power may be a necessary component.Based on the analysis, here are the main topics discussed in this transcript:1.Clay County Texas Wind Farm Goes Bankrupt and Leaves Land Reclamation in Question2.California Needs to End Its Outdated Nuclear Power Plant Moratorium to Survive3.ConocoPhillips Considers Selling Permian Assets Worth $2 Billion: Implications for Investors and the Permian Basin's Future4.Canada's Oil Sands Set Up for Merger Mayhem after Busy 20255.Trump 2.0's Grand Strategy Against China Is Slowly But Surely Coming Together6.Why Are Oil Traders Rushing to Hedge Iran Risk After a Wild Start to 20267.Power‑Hungry, Grid‑Locked : Where Hyperscalers Go To Find Their Next MegawattsThank you To Steve Reese and Reese Energy Consulting for sponsoring the podcast:https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/Check out the Energy News Beat Substack: https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/Check out The Energy News Beat Website: https://energynewsbeat.co/Questions on Investing in Oil: https://sandstoneassetmgmt.com/invest-in-oil-and-gas/

The Friday pandemonium begins! First up: The Trump White House's Racist Post of the Day. Greg wasn't here today, but that doesn't mean there wasn't any special election action yesterday. There was! And we don't know who won! But it was exciting nonetheless, because a Dem "wins" either way. The seat won't actually be filled until April, but they may still be battling over DHS funding at that point. We'll see! Because today ends in a "y," Trump is trying desperately to name more things after himself. Yesterday, it was "TrumpRx," his Groupon-style website for discounts on a whopping 43 different pharmaceutical drugs. Today, it's Washington's Dulles airport and New York's Penn Station. Christine O'Donnell was famously "not a witch," but this guy is, and he was at the Clay County, MN Gop caucus earlier this week, laughing at Mike Lindell and casting a hex on the gathering. A two-fer! From Minneapolis, meanwhile, we're urged not to ignore the economic impact of the ICE/CBP siege. And perhaps lend a hand, if we can.  An ancient scroll, from 1987, may contain clues to a path toward accountability for ICE/CBP and other abusive federal "officials." With so much unsanctioned, un-uniformed "law enforcement" activity going on out there, it was probably only a matter of time until someone tried to take Luigi Mangione's detention into their own hands. It did not work. But on the other hand, neither did an actual DOJ effort to sanction Judge Boasberg. And not just because the effort was baseless and nonsensical! Have you heard that most Democrats are actually uninterested in shielding Bill Clinton from inquiry with regard to the Epstein files? Well, I guess The Hill hasn't. And as for things you should look into this weekend: You may have missed this Trump bribe (because it was reported in close proximity to this other Trump bribe). Anyhoo, the Senator that caught wind of that first bribe also wants us to know that something seriously f-ed up is happening over at the CIA.

Are you using every resource in front of you or waiting for success to knock on your door? In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes sits down with Madison Partridge, founder of Local Roots Group, who shares her raw journey from zero experience to building a purpose-driven real estate business in Northeast Florida. Leaving a medical career behind, Madison threw herself into real estate without a budget but armed with grit, open houses, and a relentless drive to connect with people. Now a leader in her market, Madison reveals how getting uncomfortable and showing up consistently on social media and in person has helped her cultivate a loyal sphere that accounts for over 65 percent of her business.

In this segment, Jerry Nolte, the presiding commissioner in Clay County, joins the show to discuss the latest developments on the potential Royals stadium in Clay County.

He shares the importance of a vote, ensuring the people of Clay County have a say in the decision. Jerry also addresses the role of the state and other partners in the process, highlighting the county's commitment to working together to bring the Royals to the area.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Drive responded to the news that the Royals are no longer negotiating with Clay County about the future home of the Kansas City Royals.

In this segment, State Representative Mike Jones joins the show to discuss the potential relocation of the Kansas City Royals. He shares his concerns about the mayor's plan to direct $500 million in taxpayer funds to the team without a public vote. Mike explains why he's pushing for a vote, citing the importance of transparency and accountability in handling public funds. He also weighs in on the possibility of the Royals following the Chiefs' lead and leaving Kansas City, and discusses alternative locations, including Clay County.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Kansas City Royals missed a big deadline to tell Kansas their proposal for STAR bond funding, and top lawmakers say they're no longer interested in talks with the team. The doors may also be closing in Clay County, while Missouri's public financing offer is under threat.

During a court appearance in Clay County, Daricka M. Moore entered not guilty pleas to a total of 11 charges, which encompass capital murder, first-degree murder, attempted murder of a minor, attempted sexual assault, burglary, and vehicle theft, but told reporters he killed “13”.

Officials in Clay County, Missouri, and in the Kansas legislature have expressed that they are no longer interested in talks with the Royals on a new stadium deal. Is the team starting to run out of options — and will downtown Kansas City win out by default?

Alyssa Clements of Clay County finished second in the national American Farm Bureau Young Farmers & Ranchers Excellence in Agriculture competition. Competing against contestants from all 50 states, Clements says it was an honor to represent her state and earn a second-place finish at the national level.

On a motivational Monday, host Clay Edwards kicks off the show with reflections on the chilly winter weather in Central Mississippi, contrasting it with his preference for milder seasons and sharing personal anecdotes about aging and lifestyle choices. He dives into a discussion on dating and politics, reacting to a viral video of a liberal woman quizzing her date on controversial topics like journalist Nick Shirley and Somali fraud allegations. Edwards poses questions to listeners: Do you want a partner as politically engaged as yourself, or is it better to keep politics out of personal life? He shares his own experiences, preferring shared values without constant debate, and critiques overly politicized relationships on both sides.   The conversation shifts to pop culture, praising the latest episode of the TV show Landman for its portrayal of a non-binary character and subtle commentary on liberalism, tying it back to real-world issues like self-hate and deflection in activist circles. Edwards addresses recent news, including a fire at a Jackson synagogue believed to be motivated by hate, with an arrest made but suspect details pending. He critiques the mayor's statement for broadening the focus beyond the incident and questions media handling.   Local crime takes center stage with a recap of a mass shooting in Clay County, where a 24-year-old man allegedly killed six people, including family members and a child, across multiple locations. Edwards draws parallels to a 2017 rampage in Copiah County. Nationally, he critiques NBA coaches Steve Kerr and Doc Rivers for comments on a Minneapolis incident involving ICE, accusing them of misinformation and bias.   Callers and texters weigh in on topics like racism's roots in theology, generational differences in experiences, and societal shifts away from shame and logic. Edwards emphasizes living in the present rather than past grievances, highlighting systemic biases and the need for truthful discourse. The show wraps with reflections on immigration consequences, media sensationalism, and cultural divides.

   We are going to follow the facts about the former Kansas City resident that decided to leave her children behind Wednesday in Minneapolis, and at the very least, risk being arrested by ICE.  By all accounts, Renee Good was committing multiple crimes to defend Somali criminals when she hit the gas pedal with an agent right in front of her.  Bad decisions lead to bad outcomes.    Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is in hot water again as his former girlfriend posts photos a writes an essay about years of abuse she took from him.  Is this the end for Rice in KC?    Salvador Perez is the captain of Team Venezuela in the upcoming World Baseball Classic and was in his home country when Maduro was extracted.  Why haven't we heard from Salvy on this?    The Missouri Tigers have turned their season around starting 2-0 in SEC hoops.  The Tigers got their first win ever at Kentucky and they did it by closing strong and showing something we weren't sure they had.    NFL tv ratings smash records as the Chiefs lead CBS to being the top rated network.  Clay County officials are no longer talking with the Royals and billionaires are fleeing California for good.
