In this episode, my guests are Andrew Flachner, CEO and Co-founder of RealScout, and Anthony Sosso, VP of Engineering, to break down how AI-powered home search is reshaping real estate. They explain the shift from basic, consumer-facing search to deeper, agent-driven workflows that uncover better matches, save time, and improve client outcomes. The conversation explores how AI search interprets natural language and translates it into precise MLS-level queries, enabling agents to surface opportunities that traditional filters often miss. Andrew and Anthony also share how agents can use these capabilities in buyer and listing consultations to demonstrate expertise, build trust, and win more business. If you want a clear view of where AI search is heading and how to apply it in your day-to-day workflow, this episode delivers practical insights you can act on immediately.

Joseph Duggar, 31, faces charges of lewd and lascivious molestation of a child under 12 and lewd and lascivious contact in Bay County, Florida — charges classified as a life felony carrying a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years upon conviction. According to the arrest affidavit, a now-fourteen-year-old girl disclosed to investigators that Joseph allegedly molested her repeatedly during a 2020 family vacation to Panama City Beach when she was nine. The affidavit states the victim's father confronted Joseph, who reportedly admitted to the conduct. Tontitown, Arkansas, detectives subsequently had the father call Joseph with a detective monitoring the line, and he allegedly admitted again. Joseph posted $600,000 bond, has entered a written not-guilty plea, and is barred from unsupervised contact with anyone under 18.Separately, when authorities inspected the home Joseph shares with his wife Kendra, they reportedly found locks on the exterior of children's bedroom doors. Both were charged in Arkansas with four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts of second-degree false imprisonment — misdemeanor charges carrying a combined maximum of eight years. The Tontitown Police Department has described the investigation as active and ongoing.An email from Jim Bob Duggar to Joseph, obtained through Washington County public records and dated March 25, has now been analyzed by Retired FBI Counterintelligence Chief Robin Dreeke. In the email, Jim Bob acknowledges Joseph made "terrible decisions," compares him to King David and the Biblical Joseph, frames incarceration as potential ministry, tells Joseph that God is not finished with his life, and calls Kendra's charges "ridiculous." The alleged victim is not referenced at any point in the communication. Dreeke identifies the behavioral pattern — empathy directed exclusively toward the accused, accountability reframed through theology, and the person allegedly harmed entirely absent from the narrative.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines the investigative mechanics — how ancillary evidence from a home search produces separate charges, what the department's "active and ongoing" language signals, and whether the Duggar family's documented pattern of internal handling creates grounds for expanded federal inquiry. Josh Duggar is currently serving twelve and a half years in federal prison for receiving and possessing child sexual abuse material, conviction upheld on appeal.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

One of the biggest travesties in our country is the number of unhoused individuals and families. Home Again LA is changing the narrative around homelessness by recognizing it as a situational crisis, not a personal failure. Through innovative partnerships with faith-based organizations, corporations, and community agencies, HALA has helped over 600 families transition from homelessness to permanent, stable housing while building resilience and hope. Albert Hernandez, CEO of Home Again LA, shares his personal journey from a family on the brink of homelessness to leading one of the most impactful nonprofits serving unhoused families in Los Angeles County. Albert's Personal Story One of 11 siblings raised in Koreatown, Los Angeles Father passed away when Albert was 14; mother worked two jobs to support the family Started working at Boys and Girls Club at age 14 with a 4.0 GPA Every paycheck went to help his mother with rent, food, and family necessities Worked in the nonprofit sector for 20+ years before joining Home Again LA as CEO in July 2015 The Homelessness Crisis Most Angelenos are one paycheck away from homelessness Post-pandemic cost of living increases: Food costs have doubled 1-bedroom rent: $1,800 → $2,400–$2,500/month Families have deep roots in Los Angeles County and often cannot simply "move elsewhere" The unhoused community is vastly misunderstood Home Again LA's Core Programs 1. Emergency Shelter (Core Program) 90-day program for families with children experiencing homelessness Operates like a "boot camp"—fast-paced, goal-oriented Average turnaround: 54 days to permanent housing Congregations provide overnight housing (6 PM–7 AM) Day center offers showers, laundry, job training, case management, Wi-Fi Key requirement: Children must be enrolled in school and attending regularly Serves families fleeing domestic violence and those experiencing job loss/income disruption 2. Rapid Rehousing Program 6-month program (launched 2017) Our organization pays a portion of the security deposit and rent Month 1: 90% of rent Month 2: 80% of rent Gradually decreases so family takes over 100% by end of program Results: 471 families served; all but 2 successfully took over their leases 12-month follow-up support to ensure housing stability 3. Eviction Prevention Program Started during the pandemic Provides financial assistance for families with rental arrears Includes employment support and financial stability planning Impact (2020–2021): Leveraged over $2 million in federal, state, and county funding Continues today as cost-of-living crisis persists 4. Financial Education/Outreach Program Classes on credit vs. debit, building emergency savings, understanding interest rates Partnership with Operation Hope for homeownership certification classes Success story: 3 families who were living in their cars are now homeowners 5. After-School Care Partnership Partnership with local Boys and Girls Club Scholarships for all families' children Allows parents to work full 8-hour shifts (pickup as late as 5–7 PM) Critical for parental employment stability THE FAITH-BASED PARTNERSHIP MODEL Origins: Founded in 2008 by faith-based community members who recognized the fastest-growing unhoused population was families with children No dedicated shelter facility — congregations provide evening beds (6 PM–7 AM) Parishioner involvement: Provide meals, homework tutoring, mock interviews, emotional support Corporate partnerships: Walt Disney Company, Logix Federal Credit Union, National Charity League (mothers & daughters volunteer group) Not a faith-based organization — rather, a secular nonprofit that works alongside faith communities Impact: 90% of graduating families report that "being treated like any other community member" was the most impactful part of the program AHA MOMENTS The Estrada Family Story Single mother and teenage son fleeing domestic violence Mother had zero credit history — no credit card, apartment, or vehicle in her name She was "invisible" to the housing system Required 116 days in shelter (vs. typical 90 days) Successfully housed; son is now in college and volunteers for program participants Lesson: No credit history is worse than bad credit; flexibility and advocacy are essential BEST PRACTICES HIGHLIGHTED Quality over Quantity: Focus on compassionate, individualized care rather than serving maximum numbers Treat the nonprofit like a business: Sustainable fundraising, financial reserves, and operational planning are non-negotiable Collaboration is essential: Leverage partnerships with Boys and Girls Club, financial institutions, corporations, and faith organizations It takes a village: No single entity can solve homelessness; success requires community infrastructure Flexibility within structure: Accountability (school attendance, job seeking) balanced with compassion for unique circumstances 12-month follow-up: Maintain relationships post-housing to ensure long-term stability Treat people with dignity: Break bread together; ask "How can we help?" not "How did you fail?" ORGANIZATIONAL CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS Challenge: Landlord hesitancy to rent to formerly unhoused families Solution: Education, advocacy letters, and relationship-building. Today, landlords proactively call HALA when units become available. Challenge: After-school childcare prevents parents from working full shifts Solution: Partnership with Boys and Girls Club providing scholarships for all families' children. Challenge: Pandemic-era income loss and rental arrears Solution: Eviction Prevention Program leveraging $2M+ in government grants (2020–2021). HOW TO GET INVOLVED Website: HomeAgainLA.org Phone: (818) 562-7778 Services Available: Emergency shelter for families with children Rapid rehousing assistance Eviction prevention support Financial education classes Employment support and job training Volunteer opportunities Facility tours Ways to Help: Donate to support families Volunteer with congregations or corporate teams Host a meal or tutoring session Provide job training or mock interviews Become a landlord partner NOTABLE QUOTES "One of the biggest travesties in our country is the number of unhoused individuals and families. We are a developed country, after all, and often fail to take care of our own." — Dr. Laura Scherck Wittcoff "Most of us are a paycheck away from losing our homes. The reality is, we're just trying to survive." — Albert Hernandez "It's not a handout. There are some requirements. The family has to have some skin in the game." — Albert Hernandez "Being treated like any other member of this community was the most impactful part of the process." — 90% of HALA graduates "They're not just making and serving dinner. They're actually breaking bread with the family." — Albert Hernandez, on volunteers RECOMMENDED LISTENING FOR Nonprofit leaders and staff Social entrepreneurs and business leaders Faith community organizers Policymakers addressing homelessness Corporate volunteer coordinators Anyone interested in community-based solutions to homelessness Job seekers and career counselors Listen to the entire episode at SmallandGutsy.org

Inside the Heuermann Gilgo Killer's Home Search: Secret Room, Cage, and the Eerie Doll Big procedural swing: one jury hears all seven counts. With Jennifer Coffindaffer we break down why prosecutors pushed for joinder and why the defense is already circling “prejudice” in red ink. The state's pitch is pattern—victim type, geography, MO—one coherent story. The defense counters: decades apart, different methods, and the danger of letting weaker counts draft behind stronger ones. We also cut through the “creepy” optics of the search haul—secret room, large doll, cage. Creepy is not the standard. Agents don't cart off curios for sport; they seize what they believe they can justify in court. Those items matter only when tied to timelines, transfer, and corroboration that shrink alternatives. There's a trust problem too. This investigation lived under a cloud for a long time. Jurors will want clean lines, not shortcuts. That's why joinder is both rocket fuel and a tripwire—the narrative has to stay tight. This segment lays out the rules of engagement: what gets in, what's risky, and how you tell a decades-long story without losing a 12-person audience in the first act.

Step 4: Stop Waiting—Start Your Home Search Like a Pro! Ready to find your dream home?

Today's returning guest is the CEO of RESIC Group, which manages cutting-edge businesses that solve real problems to enhance the lives of property buyers, home owners and property professionals across Australia.RESIC group consists of HoLo Home Loans, Happy Buyers Club, and, Develo.Prior to this he was the COO of Homesearch for several years and previously an estate agent in both London and Brisbane.Over his 15 years in real estate, he's had success as a sales and buyer's agent, and has been recognised as an industry leader in both Australia and the UK. Today, he's building innovative real estate technology platforms that improve the residential real estate experience for home buyers and home owners across my home town of Brisbane and the rest of Australia.He knows his way around a podcast studio having launched the World Class Agency podcast back in 2019 whilst still in the UK and also has a podcast in Australia called Taking Back Saturday.This is a conversation with someone you will not want to miss because he has founded two very successful businesses on either side of the world and shares some of his formula on how this was achieved during our discussion.From video, social media, adding value, real estate on both sides of the world, and being a buying agent, we cover it all in this long overdue sequel to episode 2.

What if your next dream home could find you — using just your words? In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes welcomes Lyman Starmer, the CEO and founder of Deli, a revolutionary AI-powered real estate search tool. Lyman dives deep into how natural language processing is transforming the home-buying experience for both agents and consumers. No more rigid dropdown menus — now, users can simply tell the AI what they're looking for and receive intelligent, hyper-personalized listings.

Many options to use for your online property search needs. The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is the best due to keeping the listings status update online the best. Zillow for example may not have the status of the listing up to date for example. And for my top way of tracking a search for people I like our contact management system website because it helps me to know what our clients are most interested in.

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending May 6th, 2023… why economists are expecting a rate hike pause, where homeowners are paying the most and the least for their mortgages, and new home search help from a chatbot!   Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.   Economic News   We begin with economic news from this past week, and the big news is, of course, the Fed's rate hike. The Federal Reserve's Open Market Committee followed through on an expected quarter point hike to the overnight lending rate, which puts the target range between 5 and 5.25%. It was the 10th rate hike in a row and a unanimous decision among committee members, despite calls for a pause from some Congressional lawmakers. (1)   The Fed also appeared to suggest that it might now be time for a pause, by eliminating a sentence that says “some” additional rate hikes may be needed. Instead, the statement kind of hedged on the idea of rate hikes by saying that any further rate hikes would depend on “the cumulative tightening of monetary policy, the lags with which monetary policy affect economic activity and inflation, and economic and financial developments.” Economists are interpreting that to mean that the Fed is prepared to take a more “dovish” approach at its next policy meeting. As MarketWatch puts it, the Fed is “on hold.”    Fed Chief Jerome Powell also said in his press conference after the meeting that: “We are no longer saying we anticipate” rate hikes. He says: “We will be driven by incoming data, meeting by meeting.” (2)   Some economists say the Fed has already gone too far. Chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, Lawrence Yun, is one of them. He called last week's rate hike “unnecessary and harmful.”   Yun says inflation has been coming down and will continue to do so. He says: “It will be even lower as the heavyweight component to inflation, which is rent, will inevitably slow down given the robust, 40-year high in construction of new apartment units.” He also says that many small banks are struggling right now. He says: “They are becoming zombie-like banks, unable to lend even to good businesses, as they are more concerned with balance sheet shuffling for survival.” (3)   Meanwhile, there are new signs that the job market is softening. Initial claims were up 13,000 to a total of 242,000. That's up from about 200,000 in January. Continuing claims were down, however, by 38,000 to a total of 1.81 million. (4) The April jobs report also shows that the job market is still going strong. It shows that companies increased the number of available positions by 253,000. Wall Street economists had anticipated the addition of just 180,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate also declined from 3.5% to 3.4%. (5)   Mortgage Rates   Mortgage rates dipped a little this last week. Freddie Mac says the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was down four basic points to 6.39%. The 15-year was up five points to 5.76%. (6)   In other news making headlines…   The Average Monthly Mortgage Payment   The average monthly mortgage payment is now $2,317. Lending Tree's latest study shows that the average U.S. home buyer needs a mortgage of $333,342 with the highest amounts needed in the District of Columbia, Washington State, and California. (7)   High priced states skew the averages however, so you need to look at the individual states to see how affordable they are. The three states with the lowest average mortgage amounts are West Virginia, Kentucky, and Michigan. In West Virginia, the average is just $1,700.   Homeownership Not a Priority Among Most Renters   A majority of renters don't see homeownership in their future. Online brokerage Home Bay conducted a survey that shows about two-thirds say they have lost hope in owning a home, although half of the respondents said that homeownership is “very important.” Given their current situation, they'd prefer to spend their money on other things. The top three priorities are paying down debt, having a comfortable retirement, and owning a car. (8)   Among the renters who want to own a home, a third are willing to pay a high price to do that including many who said they'd skip meals or sell their plasma. Two thirds also said they would take on a second job.   Zillow, Redfin Launch ChatGPT Plugin   Searching for a home could get a little easier with the help of a chatbot. Both Zillow and Redfin announced that users will be able to get a ChatGPT plugin that will allow them to describe homes and have the chatbot show relevant listings. The OpenAI website says that only a small number of users have access to the plugins right now, but you can add your name to a waitlist. (9)   That's it for this week's News Brief.

One of the more strange points of contention in the world of real estate is open houses. How does something so simple result in so many different opinions? Today, I want to take you on a journey to discover the bottom line truth about open houses using some common sense - which frequently seems to be left out of the discussion - and 30 plus years of experience from a real estate professional (That's me!). The Common Points About Open Houses The argument against open houses usually goes something like this. First, buyers today use the internet to browse for homes and narrow down their choices. One little nugget they like to use to support this claim is that a National Association of Realtors survey found that only 7% of buyers found the home they bought by visiting an open house. Next, and probably the most commonly used point by real estate agents in listing appointments is that open houses are really more about Realtors getting new clients at open houses and far less about selling the home. A line home sellers might frequently hear is “I have never seen or heard of someone selling a home at an open house!”. Finally, the idea that theft is a major downside to open houses where visitors can steal jewelry or other loose items or perhaps even check out the property for a future break in. Common But Not Convincing All that sounds pretty reasonable, right? In reality, it only holds water if you accept their definition of what an open house is supposed to be. So let's refer back to that National Association of Realtors study. Read that line again, carefully. … only 7% of buyers found the home they bought … So consider that for a moment. Of course buyers do not FIND the home they buy using an open house. This assumes that the open house is the first exposure a buyer has to the home and not only is that not correct, it has NEVER been correct - even before the internet. An open house is not the opener to getting the notice of buyers, but it is a way to let them conveniently get access to the home for viewing. Open houses are a viewing tool. At its core, an open house is a scheduled period of time in which interested parties can view a property that they have interest in. They likely found the home on the internet, liked the information they saw and then decided to use the open house as a way to get a look at the inside. So the open house is about access, not introductions. Easy To Show Makes It Easier To Sell As I have covered in past podcasts, videos and Coffee & Real Estate Live Chats, the home that is easiest to show is the house that will get shown first and most often. By offering an open house, buyers do not have to set a time and try to wedge it into seeing a number of other properties. They avoid having to view the home with their real estate agent, which leaves them the freedom to be more frank with themselves and other family members about their thoughts about the property. In fact, this even allows buyers to come back multiple times in the same day if they want. Since an open house usually lasts for 5 or more hours, a buyer could go view another home then want to get another look at your open house to refresh their memory. The longer a buyer spends looking at a home, the higher the probability that this buyer will make an offer. If they start pulling out measuring tape, then you really know that their interest is peaked! Is It Really A Better Tool For Agents To Get Clients? Then there is the idea that an open house is more for the benefit of agents than for sellers. Perhaps, but does that mean it has no value for sellers just because it has value for the agent? If done right, an open house can benefit everyone involved - buyer, seller and agent. Despite this claim, agents usually use this point to try and prevent an open house from being on the to-do list. The truth is that most agents hate doing open houses. If you hire an agent that employs a team, you can bet that a member of their team (the lowest on the totem pole) will likely be the one that gets the job of holding the open house. Why? Because while agents may get buyer clients at an open house, it happens only a little more often than agents sell a home at an open house. Most buyers that visit an open house are already working with an agent. If this truly was something that netted a good stream of buyers who need an agent, Realtors would be clamoring to be the one to hold the open house, and they are not. The Valid Concern Finally, the idea that open houses can lead to theft. Yes, an open house does present the opportunity for that to occur. This is why a good agent will work with sellers to prepare their home for open houses. Review strategies to make the open house as frustration free as possible. As someone who has been a real estate professional for over 30 years and hosted probably hundreds of open houses - including many for other agents - I have NEVER had someone visiting during an open house steal something. Of course, that does not mean it can't happen. I have no doubt that it does. However, I would argue that the benefits outweigh the risks and by exercising just a little risk management, you can mitigate the issue effectively. Some Real World Observations So with all that in mind, let's talk a little about my real world experiences with open houses. First, I have sold a home in an open house before. By that, I mean a buyer came to view the home, decided to buy it, did not have an agent and we wrote the offer right there in the kitchen of the home being held open. Given my years in the business, I would not call this a common experience. I would ballpark this as happening 4 times in my career… which began in 1988. So don't hold your breath when it comes to selling a home in the open house! But let's focus on the real pay off. How many times have I sold a home to a buyer that viewed the home during an open house? There is no way to pin this number down completely, but I would estimate it to be at least 70%. Doing Open Houses Right Of course, like everything else, the effectiveness of open houses is wrapped up in how well it is executed. A good open house is marketed to the world at least 7 days before it is set to occur. Multiple methods should be used to advertise that the open house is coming up - not just the MLS system. In the modern world that means social media, eMail campaigns and even direct mail. Since the VAST majority of real estate agents stop at entering their open houses into the MLS system, you can begin to understand why some may find open houses to be less effective than hoped for. Some Final Thoughts So where does all that leave us? Well, first, do not let someone try to define what an open house actually is as something it is not. Understand that it is a tool to make your home as easily viewable as possible. Expect from the open house only what is reasonable - that buyers can use it to view the home - that's it. If for whatever reason you list your home and require lots of conditions and advanced notice for someone to view your home - the open house becomes even more critical to getting your home seen by buyers and ultimately sold. Discuss precautions you can take to protect your belongings during an open house. As part of the staging process, I will frequently suggest that personal documents, valuables, etc. get packed as much as possible which limits the exposure to potential issues relating to open houses. Open houses are a valuable tool through preparation, precautions and superior execution. Don't let yourself get convinced that it has not part to play in successfully getting your home sold!

About 40% of homebuyers will start their process online, and only 20% will start by contacting a Realtor®. Finding the right home is one of the most important and most challenging parts of the homebuying process. However, most buyers waste an incredible amount of time finding the right home online instead of having a Realtor do it. There's no perfect home, but a Realtor will help buyers find the best home possible according to their indicated preference, price, time, geographical location and other logistical factors. Realtors are of great value.
