In this conversation, OP Almaraz and Steve Severaid discuss the ongoing challenges faced by homeowners in the aftermath of the Palisades Fire. They delve into the complexities of insurance claims, the importance of understanding additional living expenses, and the unique difficulties associated with total losses. The conversation emphasizes the need for thorough documentation and proactive communication with insurance companies to navigate the recovery process effectively. They also highlight the long-term implications of rebuilding in affected areas and the importance of being prepared for the challenges ahead. This conversation delves into the complexities of insurance and the impact of wildfires on communities. It discusses the new legislation regarding insurance replacement policies, the challenges of underinsurance, and the importance of accurate coverage. The speakers emphasize the need for homeowners to conduct annual policy reviews and understand the implications of their insurance decisions. They also explore the financial challenges faced by homeowners post-wildfire and the ongoing need for awareness and preparedness in the face of natural disasters. Highlights: 00:00 Introduction to the Palisades Fire Impact 03:01 Navigating Insurance Challenges Post-Fire 06:04 Understanding Additional Living Expenses 09:02 Total Losses and Rebuilding Challenges 12:11 The Importance of Documentation and Digital Scans 14:59 The Long Road to Recovery 17:53 The Future of Rebuilding in Affected Areas 29:41 The Impact of Wildfires on Communities 31:58 New Legislation and Insurance Replacement Policies 34:28 Understanding Insurance Limits and Underinsurance 36:39 The Importance of Accurate Insurance Coverage 41:05 Annual Policy Reviews and Homeowner Responsibilities 43:45 Risk Transfer and the Value of Insurance 44:25 Mortgage Implications After a Loss 48:04 Navigating Financial Challenges Post-Wildfire 51:34 The Ongoing Need for Awareness and Preparedness Takeaways The Palisades Fire has created a complex recovery situation for homeowners. Insurance companies respond differently to claims, complicating the process. Homeowners must advocate for their specific needs during recovery. Environmental contaminants pose new challenges for cleaning and restoration. Patience is essential when dealing with insurance claims post-fire. Additional living expenses can be negotiated with insurance companies. Total losses present unique challenges in the rebuilding process. Documentation, including digital scans, is crucial for claims. Communication with insurance adjusters must be documented to avoid issues later. Rebuilding in affected areas will take time and may be chaotic.  People are selling their homes due to the impact of wildfires. New legislation allows homeowners to buy new properties without land value deductions. Many homeowners are underinsured, leading to financial challenges after a loss. Insurance policies often do not reflect the true cost of rebuilding. Homeowners should conduct annual reviews of their insurance policies. Extended replacement costs should not be relied upon for coverage calculations. Insurance is a risk transfer tool that protects homeowners financially. Mortgage companies typically hold insurance payouts in trust accounts during rebuilding. Some homeowners are considering selling their lots after a loss. Awareness and preparedness are crucial for homeowners in wildfire-prone areas.

This is Convo By Design—where we explore the ideas, people, and projects shaping the future of design. But you know that, I imagine this is why you listen each week… To hear stories behind the design. One of the things I have been thinking about lately is how ideas, feelings and purpose can change over time. When I started CXD in January of 2013, I thought I was speaking to design and architecture clients. Homeowners who wanted to learn about the stories behind design. From the response I received, almost immediately, I realized it was the trade I was speaking to. Well, that's who was listening. And it was that way for years. It was probably around 2015 or 2016 that homeowners were listening and speaking to their designers about imbuing their story into the work. Personalizing it which prior to that was still seen as a detriment to resale. That idea is pretty much gone now, and that's a good thing. Blueberry Jones Projects. In this episode, I'm speaking with Lindsie Davis, the creative force behind Bluberry Jones, a design firm based in Texas. Lindsie's story is rooted in authenticity—an interior designer who once felt uncomfortable in the spotlight, but found herself pulled into a public-facing role by the very nature of her work. Her creative journey weaves through fashion, art education, and eventually, full-scope interior design, fueled by instinct, passion, and an unwavering desire to build spaces with soul. From her first unexpected design job at a paint store to launching a firm amid the uncertainty of 2020, Lindsie has leaned into change—and thrived in it. We talk about her evolution from the suburbs of Dallas to the creative haven of Wimberley, the cultural rise of Texas design, and the very real challenges and rewards of running a design business in a rapidly growing, ever-shifting market like Austin. This conversation also dives deep into kitchens—yes, white kitchens, colorful kitchens, and how even the smallest design decisions can echo with intention and meaning. Lindsie's perspective is one of quiet confidence, shaped by creativity, hard-earned business acumen, and a genuine love for making homes better, one thoughtful layer at a time. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Design Hardware - A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home!  - Where service meets excellence TimberTech - Real wood beauty without the upkeep That was Lindsie Davis of Bluberry Jones. A designer with a sharp eye, a creative spirit, and a grounded understanding of how to make spaces work beautifully and meaningfully for the people who live in them. Her story is a reminder that design is rarely a straight line—it's a winding road of experiments, pivots, passion, and perseverance. Whether she's reimagining a kitchen, collaborating with architects on multi-year projects, or navigating the changing landscape of Texas design, Lindsie brings intentionality and warmth to every corner she touches. Thank you for listening. If you liked this episode, share it with a friend who loves design, subscribe to Convo By Design wherever you get your podcasts.

Thank you to my partner sponsors, TimberTech, The Azek Company, Pacific Sales, Best Buy and Design Hardware.

Rob Bhatt is a home insurance expert at Lending Tree. We'll discuss their new report that shows that over the past 6 years, no state in the country has had a bigger percentage increase in homeowner's insurance costs than Colorado has: State of Home Insurance: 2025 | LendingTree

Homeowners' insurance isn't just getting more expensive ... it's also getting harder to secure in the first place. Across the country, an increase in climate-related disasters like heat waves, wildfires and hurricanes is creating challenges for both insurers and their customers. One successful strategy taking hold in Alabama and other states: Climate-proofing houses — and incentivizing it with insurance discounts.Still, not all states or homeowners face similar risks. And insurers aren't legally required to take climate-proofing into account when assessing the insurability of a home. That's why states are experimenting with different programs — and insurance legislation — to find a solution.This episode is part of NPR's Climate Solutions Week: a series of stories covering real world solutions for building, and living, on a hotter planet.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Agents are struggling to generate consistent listing leads, especially in a market where inventory is tight and sellers are sitting on low-interest-rate homes. But what if there was an overlooked niche that's not only highly motivated, but also underserved? That's where the downsizing demographic comes in.  Homeowners over 55 aren't just thinking about selling, they're actively planning for it.  They don't need more space or better school districts. They need someone who understands the emotional and logistical complexities of selling a home they've lived in for decades. Enter Kathy Chiero. She's spent 28 years in real estate, and 13 years ago, she tapped into a goldmine by creating “DownSize Columbus”, a lead-generating seminar for older homeowners who are ready to transition but don't know where to start.  Today, she's built an 8,000-person database and an event business that pays for itself (and then some) while feeding her pipeline with highly qualified leads. What makes downsizers so unique? How do we provide value to them? In this episode, Kathy breaks down exactly how she built a seminar that became a machine for long-term listings.  She shares how she monetized it through vendor partnerships and why most agents won't take the leap, even when the opportunity is right in front of them.   Selling a home when you downsize is completely different from going up the ladder. They aren't looking for schools or size. They don't want to sell their home, but aging is a track that's going to force the decision one way or another. -Kathy Chiero   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  The most overlooked goldmine in real estate What does the data really say about the downsizing generation, and how can agents tap into this invisible yet valuable group? How Kathy built a seminar that drives 20% of her income What's the secret to turning a napkin sketch into a well-oiled, money-making machine that generates listings and brand visibility? The genius way Kathy funds every event (and profits from it) How do you offset $30K+ in event costs and walk away with a bigger budget for your next one? Why selling the home is the easy part What are the five pillars Kathy built her business around, and how do they set her apart from agents who treat downsizing like just another listing?   Guest Bio Kathy Chiero is a real estate agent and leader with nearly three decades of experience. 13 years ago, Kathy discovered a goldmine in the downsizing market by launching DownSize Columbus, a lead-generating seminar designed specifically for homeowners over 55 who are ready to transition but don't know where to start. What began as a small event with 600 attendees has since grown into an 8,000-strong database and a thriving business that consistently feeds Kathy's listing pipeline with highly motivated, qualified leads. Kathy's unique approach goes beyond just selling homes, she helps seniors navigate the emotional and logistical challenges of letting go of a place they've called home for decades.

Do you remember when Kate and I shared allllll sorts of jobs you can do with a background in copywriting? (I totally get if you don't remember, but you can catch that podcast episode right here.) Thanks to CCA student Alba, we've got another one to add to that list: product marketer. On today's episode of the Build Your Copywriting Business podcast, Alba was generous enough to join us from Spain (where, spoiler, she's from and now a homeowner!). She is sharing the full story that led her from working 60 hour weeks teaching in the UK to becoming a copywriter and, ultimately, landing a product marketing role that allows her to work from her home in Spain. Alba's journey is the perfect reminder that you never know where your career will take you. But if you're open to the possibilities, copywriting can take you places you may not even realize are options.  I can't wait for you to hear all of Alba's wisdom (and how one of her first copy clients was the World Health Organization—how cool is that?!).  ------------------ Mentioned in the Episode How Do I Know If I'm Ready to Pitch Copywriting Clients?How to Fast Track Your Copywriting Career SuccessEp. 203: Secrets to Smooth Copywriting Client Relations Related Links Ep. 59: Buying a New Home with Copywriting Income – Shannon's Story --------------- Get Free Copywriting Training here

More than 10,000 buildings were damaged from the May 16 tornado that tore through St. Louis. Soon after, affected city residents began seeing stickers affixed to their front doors — each signifying the amount of damage to the structure. Red stickers cautioned: “Danger: Entry Prohibited: Violators subject to prosecution.” City building division leadership shed light on how those assessments were made and what they mean. Later in the episode, a legal advisor with Tenants Transforming Greater St. Louis discusses the challenges being faced by renters who are displaced from the tornado — and how renters can empower themselves by knowing their rights as they advocate for temporary housing or changes to their lease agreements.

Frances Katzen describes the phenomenon of “Nepo Homeowners” and the turbulence they're adding to the housing market. The trend encompasses first-time homebuyers relying on parents' money to finance their real estate purchases. “There is a lot more swiftness and competitive nature” with parental backing, she adds.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.
