The House Whisperer Dean Sharp is back on Wake Up Call for another edition of ‘Waking Up with the House Whisperer!' Today, Dean talks about 10 reasons why design matters most.

Many seniors today face significant financial strain—some even resort to borrowing to cover their basic living expenses.For retirees on a fixed income, a reverse mortgage can be a practical solution to access the equity in their home and bring much-needed stability. Harlan Accola joins us today with a message of hope for those looking for margin in their retirement years.Harlan Accola is the National Reverse Mortgage Director at Movement Mortgage, an underwriter of Faith and Finance. He is also the author of Home Equity and Reverse Mortgages: The Cinderella of the Baby Boomer Retirement.The Real Issue: Seniors Struggling with Credit Card DebtNearly 70% of seniors that Movement speaks with are carrying credit card debt. These aren't impulsive spenders buying luxury items. They're retired, living on fixed incomes, and they're relying on credit just to pay for basics like groceries and prescriptions. They're often asset-rich but cash-poor—sitting on significant home equity but drowning in interest rates of 25% to 35%.Many people suffer silently, too embarrassed to discuss their financial challenges. They don't realize that the equity in their home could be used to ease their burden without losing the home they love.One of the biggest hurdles is the spread of misinformation. People believe they'll lose their house, or that a reverse mortgage is inherently bad.In truth, the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM)—the most common form of reverse mortgage—is federally insured and designed to protect both the homeowner and their heirs. Properly structured, it can be a safe and responsible tool.Who Should Consider a Reverse Mortgage?Anyone over 62 with at least 50–60% equity in their home should take a closer look. A typical scenario might be someone still making monthly mortgage payments, even with a small remaining balance. Those payments—$800, $1,500 or more—can strain fixed retirement budgets.One common misconception is that you lose control of your home. In fact, you and your spouse can stay in your home for life, even if one of you passes away. You can choose how to receive the funds—from monthly income to a lump sum to the most popular option: a line of credit.Whether it's a car repair or a medical bill, reverse mortgage lines of credit provide flexibility. And it's all about wise stewardship.At the heart of this decision is a stewardship principle. As Proverbs 24:3 reminds us, “By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established.” It doesn't make sense to live in a paid-off home but struggle to pay for groceries while racking up 30% interest on credit cards. That's not good stewardship.Reverse mortgages aren't for everyone—but many avoid them simply due to fear or misunderstanding. For some, it could be a life-giving solution.If you're entering—or well into—retirement and want to explore whether a reverse mortgage might be a fit for your situation, visit Movement.com/Faith. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 71 and still working, but I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to keep it up. Would a reverse mortgage help me eliminate my monthly mortgage payment, allowing me to manage better if I need to stop working?I have recently retired and hold a 401(k) account with Fidelity. Someone mentioned a company called Big Money Retirement Solution, which offers a 9% annual return on an annuity. Should I consider moving half of my portfolio there?I heard there's a way to get a free credit report that the government requires. How do I access that?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Movement MortgageAnnualCreditReport.comWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

California homeowners are facing a growing wildfire insurance crisis. With rising rates, reduced coverage options, and increased wildfire risk due to climate change and inflation, understanding your insurance options is more important than ever. In this episode of the All Things Wildfire podcast, host OP Almaraz speaks with Sharon Smith, Outreach Analyst at the California Department of Insurance, to discuss the challenges, solutions, and legislative changes shaping wildfire coverage in California. Why Wildfire Insurance Rates Are Rising in California Wildfire insurance premiums are increasing due to multiple factors: Climate change is driving more frequent and severe wildfires. Inflation has pushed up construction and repair costs. Outdated regulations under Proposition 103 have made it difficult for insurers to adapt pricing to today's risks. Sharon explains why Prop 103 needs modernization to better protect homeowners and keep insurance available in high-risk fire zones. Understanding Proposition 103 and Its Impact Proposition 103 is a decades-old regulation that governs how insurance rates are approved in California. While it was designed to protect consumers, many experts argue it hasn't evolved to address the current wildfire landscape. Modernizing Prop 103 could help stabilize the insurance market while ensuring fair treatment for policyholders. The Safer from Wildfires Program The Safer from Wildfires program is a state-led initiative to improve home resilience against wildfire damage. By completing specific home-hardening measures, homeowners may: Reduce their risk of fire damage. Qualify for potential insurance discounts. Increase their chances of keeping existing coverage. The California Fair Plan: Last-Resort Coverage For homeowners unable to find traditional coverage, the California Fair Plan acts as a safety net. However, it's meant as a temporary solution. Modernizing the Fair Plan is essential, especially for high-value homes that require broader protection. Admitted vs. Non-Admitted Insurance Carriers Understanding the difference between admitted insurance carriers (regulated by the state) and non-admitted carriers (not backed by the state's guarantee fund) is critical when comparing wildfire insurance policies. Sharon provides insights on the pros and cons of each option. Smoke Remediation and New Task Force Efforts Smoke damage after a wildfire can create serious health hazards. The California Department of Insurance has established a task force to address smoke remediation standards, helping homeowners get better results from their claims and contractors. Legislative Changes and Homeowner Resources Sharon discusses new legislative proposals designed to: Ease the recovery process after a wildfire. Improve claims handling by insurance companies. Provide more resources to homeowners navigating wildfire-related claims. The California Department of Insurance offers free resources to help property owners understand their rights, find coverage, and take preventive measures.

Send us a textRetirement planning has a serious problem: we're living much longer than previous generations, but our financial preparation hasn't kept pace. With many retirees finding themselves 45% short of what they'll need for a comfortable retirement lasting potentially 30+ years, what options do we have?Laura Phillips, a licensed reverse mortgage specialist with over 25 years of experience, joins us to demystify one powerful but often misunderstood financial tool - the modern reverse mortgage. She tackles the elephant in the room immediately, acknowledging the product's controversial reputation while explaining how today's reverse mortgages differ dramatically from their predecessors. "It's not your grandmother's reverse mortgage," Phillips explains, detailing the significant consumer protections now built into these loans.We explore the mechanics of reverse mortgages in straightforward terms, from how they calculate available funds (based on age, equity, and interest rates) to what happens when the homeowner passes away. Phillips brings compassionate insight to the emotional aspects of retirement planning, addressing the delicate balance between using home equity as a financial tool and honoring the sentimental value of the family home.Perhaps most eye-opening is our discussion about financial education and America's retirement readiness gap. Phillips shares personal experiences that highlight how unprepared many of us are for financing decades of retirement, noting that even financial advisors struggle to project 30 years into the future. Her passion for helping seniors find solutions shines through as she encourages earlier, more honest conversations about aging and finances.Whether you're approaching retirement age yourself or helping parents navigate their options, this episode provides valuable perspective on one potential strategy for aging in place with greater financial security. Connect with Laura Phillips to learn if a reverse mortgage might be right for your situation.• Reverse mortgages have evolved substantially with improved consumer protections• Modern reverse mortgages require both spouses on the loan and verify ability to pay taxes/insurance• Homeowner age, available equity, and interest rates determine how much can be accessed (42-75%)• Older borrowers can access higher percentages of their home's value• Reverse mortgages work best when heirs aren't expecting to inherit the physical home• The loan grows over time but has protections against going "underwater"• Heirs can choose to sell the home or purchase it by paying off the loan balance• Financial education about longevity planning should start much earlier in life• A home should be viewed as both an emotional space and a potential financial toolIf you're 62 or approaching that age and thinking about retirement options, reach out to Laura Phillips at laura@lauraphillips.com or call 303-817-4611 to discuss whether a reverse mortgage might be right for your situation.Support the show

Turning into your parents might be your worst fear, or your biggest marketing opportunity.That's the brilliance of Progressive's Dr. Rick campaign. It's hilarious, deeply relatable, and sneakily strategic. In this episode, we explore the marketing lessons behind it with special guest Keri McGhee, Chief Marketing Officer at Attentive.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from character-driven storytelling, embracing creative risk, and using humor and relatability to create campaigns that people actually want to talk about.About our guest, Keri McGheeKeri McGhee is the CMO at Attentive, the AI marketing platform for leading brands. She leads strategic global marketing to further build the Attentive brand, overseeing product marketing, revenue marketing, events, partner marketing, communications and content, and brand creative. Keri's past experiences include leading marketing at various start-ups and as a senior director at Zillow, where she led the B2B marketing team of 60+ people, responsible for strengthening partner loyalty and experience for 60,000+ real estate partners. She got her start in tech at Expedia, leading both consumer and corporate travel marketing teams.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Progressive's Dr. Rick Campaign:Take creative risks. Keri's central message is clear: great brand moments come from taking chances. “We take ourselves way too seriously in B2B.  So I think my advice is to step outside of the comfort zone of what the CFO, and the COO, and the CEO say yes to. And do the work to get the customer validation to pitch in some new idea..” B2B marketers often play it safe, focusing on product features, ROI charts, or thought leadership. But real differentiation happens when you create something unexpected, emotional, or funny. The Dr. Rick campaign could've flopped. Instead, it became a cultural reference point.Make your audience feel seen. The best ads are mirrors, not megaphones. Progressive tapped into a deep, relatable insecurity, “Am I becoming my parents?” Keri shares, “It's incredibly memorable, which I think is the most important thing in marketing right now.” For B2B, this could mean identifying moments of self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or job-related stress and playfully reflecting those back to the buyer.Build a fictional persona. A single viral hit is fleeting. A character-driven series builds long-term brand equity. Dr. Rick works because he's a consistent, evolving character. He became a franchise. Most B2B brands invest in one-off videos or campaigns. But serialization keeps audiences coming back, like a show you binge-watch. Keri states, “  I can't think of any B2B that actually has been able to do that…Most of the true B2B play companies are not investing in brand in that way.”Quotes“What we find with B2B buyers is they make decisions as people, not as the companies for which they're spending money for. We undervalue that a lot in B2B marketing…And the reality is, the things that are impossible to measure are where we are starting to place bigger bets because it's the only way to drive differentiation.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Keri McGhee, Chief Marketing Officer at Katalon[01:06] Why Dr. Rick?[02:45] The Psychology of Being Seen[04:02] Who Is Dr. Rick?[11:26] Branding in a Commoditized Industry[13:59] Flow vs. Dr. Rick: A Franchise Strategy[15:26] Why B2B Doesn't Do This[22:14] Parents vs. Homeowners[26:35] Keri's Top B2B Takeaway[28:30] Creating Content Around Insecurity[31:20] Why Brands Don't Take Risks[40:56] Final Thoughts & TakeawaysLinksConnect with Keri on LinkedInLearn more about AttentiveAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

When it comes to navigating real estate decisions, particularly for older adults or those managing inherited properties, professional guidance isn't just helpful—it's essential. This enlightening conversation between Jane Dearwester of McIntyre Elder Law and Jason Brodsky of Owners Only Real Estate reveals why DIY approaches to property valuation and sales often lead to significant financial and emotional costs.The Western North Carolina real estate landscape has undergone a dramatic shift, transitioning from a seller's market to a buyer's market in just one year. Jason expertly breaks down the factors driving this change, including the phenomenon of "rate hostages"—homeowners with exceptionally low mortgage rates who feel trapped in properties that no longer suit their needs. For seniors considering downsizing or families managing estates, understanding these market dynamics is crucial to making informed decisions.Perhaps most valuable is the discussion of North Carolina's unique real estate contract system, which heavily favors buyers and can leave unprepared sellers vulnerable. Through a compelling case study, Jason demonstrates how professional pricing strategy resulted in a quick sale at $68,000 above asking price with favorable terms for the seller. This practical example highlights why emotional attachment to property must be balanced with objective market analysis—something that professionals bring to the table. Whether you're planning for long-term care transitions or managing inherited property, this episode offers invaluable insights on protecting your most significant assets with expert guidance.Subscribe to our podcast for more conversations about protecting your assets and planning for life's transitions.

Frederick currently operates as a consultant and expert witness, focusing on insurance consulting and risk management. Episode Summary: Join Chris Voss as he hosts insurance expert Frederick Fisher on The Chris Voss Show, where they delve into the intricate world of insurance policies and claims. In this episode, the discussion zeros in on understanding claims made insurance policies, with Frederick sharing insights and case studies that emphasize the significance of being informed and cautious while purchasing insurance. They highlight headline-grabbing stories about insurance litigation involving big names and underscore the challenges faced by companies and individuals when they're inadequately protected. As the conversation progresses, Frederick uses practical examples to underline the perils of a lack of transparency and knowledge when it comes to insurance. From discussing the implications of not disclosing warranty questions to exploring the nuances of management liability insurance, the episode is a goldmine of knowledge for entrepreneurs and individuals alike. Chris and Frederick tackle the often-overlooked elements of homeowners insurance and unravel the critical components that can lead to financial security in the face of disasters. Through engaging dialogue, they underline the importance of seeking expertise in the insurance industry and avoiding the pitfall of being attracted solely by the price of policies. Key Takeaways: Understanding the intricacies of claims made insurance is crucial to avoid costly mistakes and ensure comprehensive coverage. Transparency and honest disclosure on insurance applications are critical to prevent fraud accusations and resulting claim denials. The order taker standard limits the responsibility of insurance agents, making it essential for consumers to engage with knowledgeable brokers. Entrepreneurs should consider management liability insurance to protect against personal liability incidents stemming from business decisions. Homeowners and condo owners must review their coverage limits diligently, including potential code upgrades that can lead to increased costs during rebuilding. Notable Quotes: "Everybody hates [insurance], everybody hates buying it, everybody hates dealing with it." "Insurance is the last thing. It's either milk or insurance. Come on. We know where that's going." "Take buying insurance seriously and don't use your brother-in-law as your broker unless he's a specialist in it." "You can't say, ‘I want the best coverage'… what does that mean? Quality of the coverage? The price of the coverage?" "It's intentional. I'm telling you right now… insurance companies are out to screw you."

We tend to take clean water for granted, assuming that if it comes from the tap, it must be safe. But the truth is, "safe" by legal standards doesn't always mean healthy. Contaminants like heavy metals and industrial chemicals can still be present at low levels, flying under the radar while slowly impacting our health. It's unsettling to think that the water we rely on every day might be quietly doing more harm than good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGETqvGFv5Y Cydian Kauffman, owner of Pure Water Northwest, is a water treatment specialist serving Western Washington. With a background in property management and a passion for clean water, he helps clients identify and fix contamination issues in both municipal and well systems. Today, he exposes the hidden dangers in everyday water sources and explained why legal limits don't always mean safe levels.
