Jamar Hardy knows home equity is a key to building wealth. He also knows pathways to owning a home haven't always been clear of obstacles for buyers of color.Hardy, a real estate agent and managing broker of an Edina Realty office in south Minneapolis, has high hopes that a new state program aimed at lifting up buyers in historically disadvantaged communities will change that.“This is unprecedented because it's going to be over $30,000 somebody can potentially access and potentially layer with other programs to get into a home,” said Hardy, who leads Edina Realty's diversity efforts and who has been in the industry for almost two decades.State leaders are putting the finishing touches on a pair of programs, which were approved and funded by last year's Legislature. Sometime this spring, qualified buyers will be able to access money to help with down payments, which are often a barrier to purchasing.The $150 million will go toward assistance, including forgivable, zero-interest down payment loan money for what are considered first-generation home buyers and those who lost their home to foreclosure. The new funding is intended to help about 5,000 Minnesota home buyers.“We really wanted to have a greater opportunity for particularly for low-income folks but also for people of color to have an opportunity to become a homeowner in Minnesota,” said Rep. Esther Agbaje, DFL-Minneapolis, who helped create the program.There are two similarly named programs — the First-Generation Homebuyer Loan Program and the First-Generation Community Down Payment Assistance Fund. One is capped at $35,000. The other is capped at $32,000. Those two cannot be combined.To qualify as a first-generation buyer, recipients and their parents must not have previously owned a home. Those who lost a home to foreclosure are also eligible.There are also income eligibility requirements. Both loans are forgivable after corresponding terms are met.“Unfortunately, Minnesota ranks is one of the worst states for disparities between white homeowners and Black homeowners particularly, and then also even when you look at just BIPOC people — people of color as a whole — they have lower rates of home ownership than white Minnesotans,” Agbaje said.Minnesota's Black homeownership rate peaked in 1950. Since then, the gap between Black and white homeownership has widened to nearly 50 percent — almost twice what it was.Chart on homeownershiphttps://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/BAH1k/4/Prospective first-generation home buyers can combine this assistance with other aid programs to make the prospect of getting a house even more attainable for eligible participants.Advocates hope the additional money will start flowing this spring, which is traditionally the busiest time for the housing market.“We absolutely think this will change lives,” said Geri Theis who sells real estate out of Redwood Falls, in southwestern Minnesota. She is also the president of Minnesota Realtors which represents more than 20,000 real estate agents.“It's about reaching the people that don't understand the benefit of owning a home.” Theis said. “That's what this program was designed to do. We're going to use this all over the state of Minnesota. It's going to be a benefit to every community out there.”While there will be advertising promoting the first-generation home buyer program, Hardy thinks word of mouth will be a powerful way to spread the word.“If I have a success story that I can share with my community, more people are going to be curious, more people are going to be interested, more people are going to want to know well how did you do that? Right?” Hardy said. “That's when you start sharing it and it starts spreading and you see more people come in the market.”Mary Grack, a home ownership adviser with the Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership in Mankato, is working with two immigrant families to secure first-generation homeowner funding.She thinks the first-generation homeowner program will be popular in urban and rural areas. Although the funds are not yet accessible, Grack said there is plenty to do for many potential home buyers right now.“If anybody is hoping to use this, meeting with a home ownership counselor right now would be a great first step because there's a lot of people who want to use the funds,” Grack said. “Maybe their credit score is not in the right place yet to be mortgage-ready,” she added. “They can do steps ahead of time to make sure that they would be ready to use the funds when they become available.”

Wow."[00:04:39] "If I were to help a client right now, I'd be certain I'd be certain to be looking at the days on the market to maybe give us a little bit more leverage to buy -- Mhmm. -- and argue a, you know, a price reduction."[00:06:28] "We are an absolute hotbed for high-tech now. We are gaining more and more momentum."[00:07:31] "They increased it to 12000000000 dollars and now they have pushed it all the way up to 40000000000 dollars."[00:08:00] "You can actually hop into a vehicle right now in Chandler with no driver at all. I've done it. Oh my gosh. It's super fun."All Quotes[00:00:48] "Absolutely so. Tell everybody, where are you from, Bill?"[00:01:05] "You think.

I lived in Scottsdale back when my daughter was young because she had some allergy issues and we lived there for almost 18 months. We lived down there and were in the deep dive of the recession. Right?"[00:06:28] "We are an absolute hotbed for high-tech now. We are gaining more and more momentum."[00:06:37] "If I were to be coaching someone, let's just talk strictly about being an investor. Right. I would go ahead and fill you in on some of these businesses just to give you a couple examples tonight. I pulled them up, but anybody can verify any of these things."[00:06:53] "But we are fast becoming or being looked at is going to be the number 1 chip manufacturer in the country and possibly pushing towards the world.

Now it's not in Rochester, Minnesota, but the whole idea of this is for, you know, cities like this to really become highly autonomous when it comes to the ride sharing and -- Right. -- going to the airport and things of that sort. Interesting. Wow. Yeah. Wow."[00:09:56] "He's already purchased the land back in 2017. He spent 80000000 dollars. Wow. Again, a very bold move."[00:10:20] "It's going to be a town about the size of Tempe. Tempe is about a hundred and 70000. This is a rough number. Right. But that'll take years. I mean, it'll be starting off small with maybe 10000 people, but it'll be skyscrapers and you know, database it, you know, industry, and it's going to be huge. It's going to be huge."[00:10:46] "We have 2 different kinds of conversations that we'll delve into today. But as a city and estate in terms of its growth model and its attraction. What do you think the number 1 driver is? Like, what is that about? Because there's so much, I think it really yeah."[00:11:08] "For years, I've been here since 19 89. So, I've watched a lot of changes. Yeah. It was where we were struggling to supply the high-tech industry with labor. So, the schools, ASU, UofA, they all have highly educated or, I should say, programs for people to get into the high-tech industry. Right. So now the draw is the fact that we have the labor to support these high-tech jobs. Right. And not all of them are very high-tech."[00:13:17] "Water, I have a very good friend who I actually used to teach water rights at 1 of the local real estate schools -- Mhmm. -- stands from."[00:13:33] "The big thing about water is that when it comes to building the home and when you are, let's say, you know, just Lunar. Okay? If you're going to build a subdivision, each and every home has to have a hundred-year guaranteed water supply. Mhmm. K?"[00:14:11] "So today, I mean, I'm at an age where I don't know if I'll ever see it, but, you know, there may be way, way down the road, some issues. But, you know, it seems like there's a chess game going on, and I don't know I'm no water, you know, expert."[00:12:07] "Figure income for engineers and people who are at the higher end of that. So, but we have a good you know, we really lost a lot of labor years ago from the housing industry. Right. And so now these jobs that are here are really getting more and more and more where you're going to have to have some kind of education to be functional and really afford to live here."[00:14:50] "It's kind of that chess game of who's got the rights. And who can build."[00:15:15] "You're seeing more of that right now."[00:15:29] "So I'm hoping not to see a lot of these big, you know, these big REITs and insurance funds come in here and start doing more and more of that because, really, at any given time, you know, they could subdivide, you know, go back to selling those homes."[00:16:22] "The Midwest area is known for a very rooted, you know, family dynamic where they're not gonna ever leave. Like, there's always going to be a home here. However, in that -- Right. -- length of life, they will buy something in a warm climate. And Arizona is on the top 3 list. And depending on who you talk to, the number 1 list, so It always comes up. Every conversation, believe it or not. Like, what do you think about Arizona?"[00:16:59] "I think that they're Mhmm. There's something's going to have to give because they're continuing to expand in population, and there's absolutely a drought happening in that part of the country. That's a real thing."[00:17:51] "We are very good at having complete subdivisions with 0 skipping where it's got just cactus and very low level, low water needed for landscaping, no big, you know, lawns going in, that sort of thing."[00:18:25] "It's part of the sacrifice. I don't want to sacrifice. It's a beautiful aesthetic, but it is part of the agreement to living in a water, lower lack of a drought tolerant environment. That's part of the game."[00:18:56] "And the aesthetics, if you're looking and talking about aesthetics, it's not bad. It really isn't. And there's all kinds of different ways of, you know, having the lifestyle being with mother nature. Like, everybody's got their own thing. Right? So that's 1 of them for Arizona."[00:19:13] "Embrace it. -- accept that part of that. Right? Right."[00:19:32] "Most of the people have come down here as snowbirds or investors that you know, I mean, I sell homes to investors that they don't even ever really see the house other than pictures."[00:19:56] "You don't want your tenant pushing them over because they're not going to do it. No. And all you're doing, all you're going to do is get fines from the away or from the city or both."[00:20:46] "With 500 to 700, you could buy, you know, closer to the center of town, you know, overall, Phoenix."[Unknown] "But overall, if I were to be looking to invest, we refer to these as tertiary markets."[00:21:34] "There is a brand-new plant out there making electric cars lucid."[00:22:24] "Not everybody does. Right. And, you know, even given that, I think that from what I'm reading and learning about electric cars, I don't have one myself. I have not pulled that trigger."[00:23:06] "There's a hydrogen plant out in that other tertiary market, which is Florence."[00:23:22] "Hydrogen, which is the cleanest, really the truly cleanest of, I think, all possible energy -- because it's just water. It's the end result after you're done with using hydrogen."[00:23:59] "They do give them tax breaks -- for a limited time if they stick around. I know we've had in the past some bad actors that have taken advantage of the tax situation and they pulled out."[00:25:15] "McCormick Ranch. Okay. Yep. Love it. You know, it's right in the center of both South Scottsdale and North Scottsdale."[00:25:27] "It's kind of like the entire valley has been built somewhat like a tree where you've got these rings. The the inner ring is the older homes and then you've got the outer ring which is the newer homes."[00:25:56] "Old Town, Scottsdale, where I live and was built in the sixties right after, you know, World War 2."[00:26:22] "Your bathroom is going to be, you know, quite small. It's not going to be elaborate and so you kind of have to move, you know, further and further north to get into the more modern."[00:26:38] "No HOA's though this is a big plus. When you come to Old Town -- Mhmm. -- we don't have to deal with the bylaws of a HOA."[00:27:13] "It's the common thing. It's more common than not. Like, you're not the norm being in a non-HOA community. That's most of its HOA.

And I think I've just learned to position it more that, you know, I've chosen to take a break, and I really don't. I don't care what other people's reactions are anymore.""And I think as I've been doing that, as a person, I feel more alive. I feel more grounded. I'm centered. I'm happy. I don't have stress, of course, but it's not the same way that I had before.""Life is short. I I always say on every program, you have these opportunities presented to you."""Sometimes just taking action is better than no action.""Listen to your heart, listen to your gut more than you would have maybe in your twenties, in your early thirties, because your body really tells you what you need and where you need to go.""Do it comfortably for you. Know what your boundaries are to help you make those decisions.""Try not to be categorized, but you learn from that. Right? And so, what do you do with it and how do you react and pivot in a way that, you know, if you've got a place you're going, keep pushing. Right?

Chad Jeske joins us on today's episode of the Fly the Coop Podcast. Chad is the Owner/ Publisher/ Connector at Twin Cities REAL Producers. REAL Producers is a social network where Chad and the team get to work with the top 5% of the realtors in the Twin Cities. They put together quarterly social events for the realtors where the top agents can socialize and really get to know each other. They also put together a local trade publication that goes out every month where they feature top performing agents, their non-profits, trade secrets, funny real estate stories, and vendors. Chad is just one of many successful people who have found success by hanging out with other successful people. That's why we wanted to get to know him and how he got his start in real estate—so you can learn from his experience (and maybe take some cues from his advice)In this episode of the podcast, we get to know more about Chad Jeske, the brain behind Twin Cities real producers and why it was started, the power of proximity and why it is important to hang out around successful people and so much more!Let's dive in!Topics Discussed and Key Points:Top-performing agents don't hang out at their offices.Top-performing agents are busy and they don't take sporadic meetingsThe same seeds reap the same rewards.People don't have to self-promote if they do a good job.Why Twin Cities Real Producers was created.The state of Real producers in Minnesota.a majority percentage of the transactions and volume go through a very small percentage of agents.Why are people now sceptical of everything they read and the wreck of the publishing industry?Lead generation through organic relationshipsSuccess leaves clues.People always remember how you make them feel and the agent that helps the most people always wins.Timestamps[00:35] Introducing Chad and what he does.[00:58] Why reall producers were launched[04:43] The power of proximity[08:07] What draws people to agents[10:16] What Real Producers is like in the State of Minnesota and what it means[12:33] The launch of Twin City Real producers[18:13] Building organic relationships and how Chad monetizes his platform. [21:04] What do real producers actually do and who do they benefit[22:05] Why Chad organizes so many events but doesn't monetize them[30:28] Successful agents build relationships based on activity.[32:33] Why is it important to do something positive, caring, and loving even when there are no expectations?[36:23] Why Chad does not allow real estate agents to advertise on their platform[38:28] How Chad enjoys filling in the blank for people/ putting people together.[46:20] Giving with no strings attached[47:56] The spine behind Chad's business[48:40] The concentrated leadNotable Quotes[00:03:29] “The question I get a lot is, gosh, Chad, how do you meet someone who's doing 15 million a year in real estate and have any level of influence to get them to 50 million a year? Because I've never sold 50 million a year. I can't reach them. Right. But the answer is pretty simple. Put them in a room full of people that sell 50 million a year.” [00:03:52] “We utilize a lot of psychology, basic psychology like the power of proximity. We become the average of the people we surround ourselves with.” [00:04:25] “So by putting people in proximity to each other, they meet, they build rapport. They share off each other's energy to share off each other's wisdom.”[00:05:07] “Fundamentally, you do need to have an innate passion and respect for and empathy for what this business really is in its massive life transition. Absolutely. In fact, all factions of it. And to be truly successful in that, there's got to be that core understanding of the business.” [00:06:09] “Basically you can learn. From another person without having to invest blood, sweat and tears. Right. Just based on their experience. Absolutely. You can literally skip steps.” [00:06:58] “So the advantage of putting people around other successful, like-minded, like, performing people is there's more market awareness.” [00:08:31] “What I found is a majority of top producing agents did not get to where they're at, being this rude, cutthroat negotiator or anything like that. They got that way because they are some of the kindest, most grateful, driven people, most resourceful people for these clients.”[00:21:06] “A lot of the agents I meet, they're not just telling people what they should be doing. They are. They're doing it themselves.”[00:22:57] “The Internet's fine, but having the experienced individual look at that through a set of eyes that have seen thousands, maybe tens of thousands of homes. Right. You will be able to spot things, you know, that no one even thought about.” [00:25:14] “I don't monetize the events. I don't make a dime doing them right. I do them because it gives me the ability to connect people faster.” [00:35:16] “The most successful agents I've met were not raised to become top-performing realtors.” [00:47:31] “I never thought I was going to be able to have a job helping people. Mm-hmm. And earning a living.” ResourcesFly The Coop PodcastConnect with Chad JeskeLinkedInFacebookWebsiteConnect with Carrie Ann CarterYouTubeFacebook WebsiteCall to ActionIf you enjoyed this podcast and want to support us, please subscribe on the platform you listen to podcasts from, leave a review and share with your friends.

I need to find that place. I'm gonna buy first before I make this move.'

But other than that, that was my dream role. And I kind of just think I knew that it wasn't going to be before I went into it, but it was something to check off. The list is like I completed that dream.” [00:02:01][00:02:29] “I also really like to be challenged, and I didn't feel like I was in my last role as much as I could have been. And because you have really high expectations, it is a challenge to, like, meet your goals every day.” [00:02:44][00:03:36] “I added another year to my schooling so that I could add political science because it was in the heat of the 2020-ish elections.

And I think eventually it's going to be like the only thing that we use for everything sometimes.” [00:06:27][00:11:23] “Instagram is that it was made and produced to be an app that you could share what's going on in your life.

But I'm definitely not, like, fully where I want to be.” [00:16:41] [00:19:06] “Everyone that knows me knows that, like, even from elementary school. Like, yeah. Always said she's going to go into journalism.” [00:19:14] [00:21:06] “It's so much easier to focus on the positive. Like focusing on the negative for me takes more energy.”[00:21:13] [00:24:59] “I think don't quote me, it's definitely over 80%, but I think it's 85% of kids that age out of foster care in Minnesota.

I'm a very creative person and design and things like that have always been really attractive to me.” [00:02:14][00:04:06] “Really putting in the work now that pays off later is something that I think I knew. That's how this business worked, but I didn't really know until I was in it. [00:04:18][00:04:26] “It's really normal to want something that's a little more instant gratification. And that's something that, you know, I've grown up with kind of having that, you know, you want something, you go on Amazon, your purchase arrives the next day.” [00:04:39][00:05:35] “I've always been attracted to those types of jobs just because freedom and flexibility are things that are really important to me.” [00:05:43][00:07:27] “Edina Realty really does have the tools and the resources and the people to support you.

But we are seeing things sit on the market a little bit longer as our average days on the market has, you know, increased. So that's been giving the opportunity to really show clients some luxury product.” [00:14:04]Resources Fly The Coop PodcastConnect with StephFacebookInstagramLinkedInConnect with Carrie Ann CarterYouTubeFacebook WebsiteCall to ActionIf you enjoyed this podcast and want to support us, please subscribe on the platform you listen to podcasts from, leave a review and share with your friends.

#99.9 Cuddigan Leather Downtown Buffalo. Artisan made in Maple Lake, Minnesota, USAhttps://cuddiganleather.com/shopMeet Jennifer SmailJennifer's entrepreneurial spirit, passion to create, confident attitude, and unwavering commitment to family are the backbone of Cuddigan Leather. After I opened my first bag shop, I began moving slowly towards more traditional leather work methods. At every roadblock I encountered or new challenge I undertook, I reminded myself that thousands of artisans over the course of centuries were able to learn this medium before me. Armed with this knowledge, I knew that with enough patience there is nothing I could not figure out. There is a fearlessness that goes into good design and product development. A fearless attitude is a huge part of my success. I fearlessly trust my own instinct and style. I trust my construction ideas. I trust the time it takes to build this brand. I trust my circle to advise and support me. I fearlessly trust that I will speak my vision. I leave no space for fear in the process. I lean into my gifts and talents and stretch them to the furthest of my ability. I work for more than the success of my business. I work to be a catalyst for hope in a world that needs it. Cuddigan Leather is named after Jennifer's late mother, Mary. Mary Cuddigan built in Jennifer a foundation of hope and determination that propels her forward and inspires her to share her strength as a businesswoman as well as her inspiring talents in design and production. She is motivated to live and create without reservation so that her own 6 children are given their own strong foundations of passion and determination.If you are looking for a media guy, you can find Luke Edlund on his social accounts.https://www.facebook.com/edlundlukeEdlund Media https://www.instagram.com/lukeedlund5/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWLA...You can follow the "Buffalo Community Podcast"Facebook: @buffalocommunitypodcastTwitter: @PodcastBuffaloInsta: @buffalocommunitypodcastThank you,Mark Benzer & Tyler ReissThe Buffalo Community Podcast guysTyler Reiss is the lead agent with HR Team at Edina Realty in Buffalo MN.you can contact him about your real estate needs at https://www.tylerreiss.com/
Buffalo High School offers a wealth of opportunities for growth and enrichment through athletics, student government, performing groups, publications, honor societies, and special interest groups. Students have the opportunity to participate in quality school-sponsored after school activities with direction furnished by a specially selected group of teachers and coaches. Participation in student activities is truly a learning experience and an enhancement of the regular school day. National studies and research indicate that:Participation in athletics and activities promotes citizenship.The typical student involved in student activity programs has a higher grade point average than non-participants.Students involved in student activities have a better attendance record.The Scholastic Aptitude Testing Service says participation in school activities is one of the most accurate predictors of success after college.School is more meaningful and enjoyable when a student becomes involved in the activities program. Whether the activity is part of a club or organization, special interest group, or student government, it is an opportunity to make friends, to learn some important social skills and to take part in fun activities.One principle value of sports is in the realization that life is reflected in the athletic endeavor. Success is facilitated by 1) being well-prepared, 2) maintaining a positive attitude, 3) developing a dedication to a cause and 4) establishing high standards of conduct and attitude. Athletics prepare our young people for the challenges of adult life. A great tradition for excellence in athletics is not built overnight. It takes the hard work of many people over a period of time. To participate in such a way that honor and respect come to our athletes, our schools and our communities are a tradition at Buffalo High School. As a member of an interscholastic team, a student has responsibilities. The role on contributing to our athletic tradition will be a source of satisfaction to the students and to the schools.If you are looking for a media guy, you can find Luke Edlund on his social accounts.https://www.facebook.com/edlundlukehttps://www.facebook.com/edlundmediahttps://www.instagram.com/lukeedlund5/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWLA...You can follow the "Buffalo Community Podcast"https://buffalocommunitypodcast.com/Facebook: @buffalocommunitypodcastTwitter: @PodcastBuffaloInsta: @buffalocommunitypodcastThank you,Mark Benzer & Tyler ReissThe Buffalo Community Podcast guysTyler Reiss is the lead agent with HR Team at Edina Realty in Buffalo MN.you can contact him about your real estate needs at https://www.tylerreiss.com/

Realtor Dawn Keenan of Edina Realty discusses what she sees as positive momentum in the real estate market. She identifies the shortage of homes as a positive factor, especially as compared to the market heading into The Great Recession in 2008. In fact, there is a belief that the real estate market may help lead the economy out of the recession. In addition, she discusses the safety measures put in place in her industry. For example, there has been a suspension of open houses. Showings include masks, hand washing and other protective measures. For sellers with special concerns they can indicate personal preference notes to address their concerns. There is even an option for virtual showings. Closings have changed so that agents are asked not to attend and sellers and buyers are separated for the closing. She sees real estate activity trending upward and believes this is a good time to place a home on the market, especially in the sub-$300,000 price range.
