“I was a huge people pleaser. I was very codependent. I didn't know that. At the time, I didn't know what that was.”“The funny thing is, when you let go of all that control, then sometimes you're pleasantly surprised about getting the exact thing you would have wanted.”“So I was having all these experiences with other people. And I was being treated in a much different way, like I was being respected. And people were asking about my boundaries and very respectful of my boundaries. And that was very much a contrast to what I had known for the last 10 years.”“So that was a green flag for me that he liked that. So he loved all the questions I had. He really liked that process. And through that we found out like, we do want the same things.”“Even though it feels like things happened so fast this year, it's because I've been working at this for four years consciously, but many years before that.”My guest on the podcast this week is Karilyn Ivers.Karilyn Ivers is an expert at learning from her failures.

    Slam the Gavel welcomes Randy Hayes, Cynthia Misfud and Holly Hayes to the show to explain what has happened to their mother who has been placed in a Guardianship through a family member. Their niece had absconded with their mother on May 1, 2021 and Cynthia then filed for guardianship not knowing how corrupt it really is. Her Mother's Guardian ad Litem refused to talk to Cynthia or her brothers and never came to see her home where her mother lived for over two years. This niece had her mother sign a revocation of Cynthia's Power of Attorney after having dementia for 5 years.      However, the niece also notarized it. Now they have been isolated from their mother for over a year now, including 27 family members.     The siblings went to New York State Capital on May 23, 2021 to introduce a new bill called Karilyn's Law that would prevent isolation of family in a guardianship. The niece got personal protection order against the family so she could isolate their mother. She even tried to have Cynthia arrested when she was at the hospital with her son who has a brain condition and had just had a seizure. Cynthia has well over $100,000 in legal fees. Probate court took their mothers $275,000 protected trust and are paying the Guardian ad Litem, court appointed attorney Terry Jordan and the guardian Family Option Services attorney Bruce Rice all from the trust.     A very insightful podcast where a family is spreading the word of what happened to their mother and their hopes for visitation with her.To Reach the family: Justice For Betty Hayes on FacebookNew York State Capital: https://www.facebook.com/103704012045844/posts/171915975224647/?d=nSupport the show(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)https://monicaszymonik.mykajabi.com/Masterclass  USE CODE SLAM THE GAVEL PODCAST FOR 10% OFF THE COURSEhttp://www.dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com/Music by: mictechmusic@yahoo.comPullbackPullback digs into the everyday ethics behind goods and services, consumer movements,...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify F*ck The Rules"Fuck The Rules" podcast is about folx who set out to achieve something in their lives...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Read Karilyn's blog posts about: Kings Canyon Scenic Byway Camping in Kings Canyon Visiting Sequoia National Park in the winter Sequoia National Park in one day Tips for Visiting Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks Sequoia and Kings Canyon are actually two separate national parks, but they are operated together They are south of Yosemite and many people will extend a trip to Yosemite to include Sequoia and Kings Canyon, but they have enough to make for a good stand alone trip, even for multi-generational families They offer huge sequoia forests, granite canyons, and rivers If you wanted to fly out for a trip, the largest major airport would be Los Angeles (LAX) and it is about a 3-4 hour drive from there. You can also connect and fly into Fresno, CA Sequoia is good to visit any time of year and you can go snowshoeing and you can drive all the way into the park (in the summer you need to take shuttles) You need to visit Kings Canyon in the summer as the road that goes through the park closes after the first snow. Giant's Highway which connects the two parks is also closed in the winter. The roads generally open in late spring, as early as April and as late as June, depending on the snow You can drive from the Giant's Forest area of Sequoia to the main tourist area in Kings Canyon in about one hour, although it is another hour into the Canyon If you are doing just these two parks, you will want to stay three days or longer, especially if you are visiting in the summer when you are spending more time waiting for shuttles Some people will do Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia in one week The must-see places in Sequoia are: The Congress Trail - about 3 miles through the forest Morro Rock - climb up about 430 stairs to the top, sometimes people like to do this for sunrise Mt. Whitney is the highest mountain in the continental US but you need a permit to climb it as part of the John Muir Trail Big Trees Trail is great for kids because it is a boardwalk with signposts explaining the life cycle of the trees Topakah Falls - there aren't sequoias but it is a great trail that has a waterfall, you can see wildlife, and it isn't as crowded In Kings Canyon do Mist Falls trail, but not in the early season because the rivers are too high Sequoia and Kings Canyon don't currently require reservations to enter the park or permits for hikes beyond the John Muir Trail or backpacking Favorite camping sites: Camping is the best for both parks because the nearest towns are about 45 minutes away (without traffic) Sentinel Campground, open mid-May-September is best in Kings Canyon Lodge Pole in Sequoia is a good spot for families with plenty of amenities In the winter, stay in Three Rivers, near the entrance of Sequoia, and there are places to explore in town If you want to stay outside of Kings Canyon, there are Airbnbs in small towns outside of the park but the biggest large town with hotels would be Visalia, CA, about an hour - an hour and twenty minutes away If you are driving an RV or camper van, there are limitations on lengths/heights for both parks that you should check ahead of time before you go or book a rental A food truck called Gorilla Quesadilla in Three Rivers and a restaurant in Visalia that is delicious and large portions that make everyone happy Visalia is a great town because there are more restaurant options (there aren't any places inside of the parks) and you can also take an orange grove tour There have been a number of forest fires in recent years so you may want to avoid August and possibly September, and follow the National Parks on social media to get updates about smoke or park closings When you are visiting make sure to follow the Leave No Trace principles and bring in recyclable materials that you can easily pack back out because garbage is limited in the parks There are a lot bears in the park (especially Sequoia) so make sure to make a lot of noise as you are hiking, but luckily they are generally not aggressive. Make sure to store all food in bear lockers Bear spray is not allowed in the California National Parks There is not good cell service in the park so you may want to invest in a GPS tracker like a Garmin Inreach device Make sure you bring in enough water and food in case of an emergency Karilyn loves wearing wool and has been wearing a Wool And dress every day for the last year

Karilyn Ivers is a Certified Life Coach who works with the partners of those who struggle with addiction. She teaches people how to create their own sense of emotional security so they can have peace and experience joy in the midst of their partner's addiction. Using her coaching techniques, Karilyn shows her clients how to let go of their codependent tendencies and build true self-confidence that leads to lasting change — in themselves and their relationships. In this episode… Relationships can be tricky to navigate under normal circumstances, but if your partner struggles with addiction, you'll likely find yourself faced with additional challenges. Society's biases toward addiction can make it difficult to talk about — especially if the only advice people give is that you should leave. But, if you're not ready to end your relationship, how can you improve your situation and let go of the guilt and shame of staying in a difficult partnership? Certified Life Coach Karilyn Ivers says that many of her clients initially come to her hoping that she can “fix” their partners, but relationships and addiction don't work that way. If you want to improve your circumstances, it's not about changing the other person — it's about changing yourself. After all, you can't control the world around you, but you can alter how you respond to it. If you want to feel less guilt, shame, and worry, Karilyn has some tips for learning to process your emotions and set better boundaries in your relationship. In this episode of Your Secret is Safe With Me, Certified Life Coach Karilyn Ivers joins Dr. Marie Murphy to discuss how you can create your own happiness, listen to your intuition, and trust yourself — regardless of the difficulties in your relationship. Karilyn describes how addiction impacts relationships and explains why blaming, adopting a victim storyline, and attaching yourself to an outcome might end up doing more harm than good. Stay tuned!

Wise Women Wednesday's is a New Segment Im going to try and incorporate on the show each week on None Of Your Business Podcast clips from previous episodes to help you get through the week.

Karilyn Ivers is a life coach who helps people reclaim their power in the midst of their partner’s addiction, so they can live and LOVE with intention. Find her on Instagram @Karilynivers and to buy the CRE8 Swag @tyler_mikal_chancy

Karilyn talks about a harrowing documentary called A Plastic Ocean; Nick talks about Kevin Durant's tragic injury and the wild and callous media/fan circus that surrounds NBA players. Also: Frozen 2 trailer, Karilyn ruins the Tony's, and lives a social nightmare Plus more. Always more.

A reflection on the recent Australian Federal Election; Karilyn mistaking Constantine with John Wick; Nick's irrational fear of orchestral pits; the worst natural and military disasters in human history because that's where they're at; Karilyn spoils the Game of Thrones finale for herself; Asgardian meatballs and the Midwest's obsession with tuna casserole.

Nick & Karilyn talk about many things like: reflections on Detective Pikachu which Karilyn saw BEFORE Nick (endtimes); a new game where Karilyn has no idea what the Met Gala is; Nick weighs in on the final season of GoT to Karilyn who hasn't watched past season 3; Karilyn hiked 40km; all the ideas they still haven't done yet; only talking once or twice about Endgame the general existential insignificance of their lives, etc.

[SPOILERS AHEAD] In a super deluxe extended episode, Nick and Karilyn go through everything that happened in the monumental Avengers: Endgame, and come out the other side absolutely emotionally and spiritually exhausted yet satisfied. Suffice it to say that there are spoilers everywhere in this episode. SPOILERS PEOPLE!

Nick and Karilyn have their first ever guest on the show! Rohan Williams joins them to breakdown the mind melting first trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Karilyn said she was going to see Captain Marvel but apparently English ivy killing was more important. Endgame is getting closer which means the plan to acquire popcorn goes up a notch. And other things happen.

We're together! Before they head out to check out Ed Night at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival they discuss their latest awkward social interactions, dealing with small talk, why moths are attracted to lights, exuberant laughing, fearing needles, etc.

What grand minutiae of life do they come across this week? A few days to decompress over the Academy Awards. The bafflement and shock and incandescent hopeless rage of Green Book winning. Chris Evans being the internet's boyfriend once more. Seriously how did Green Book win? Nick is still processing it, and Karilyn has some calming, insightful words to sooth the madness.

What grand minutiae of life will we talk about this week? Well: crochet viruses, other weird crochet things, what is a virus, where does the word laconic come from, nice-guy Jesus and the anxiety of MidWestern politeness, going to New Zealand, all the Marvel movies in chronological release order, Karilyn promising Nick to watch Captain Marvel and Ant-Man and the Wasp before Avengers: Endgame is released, forgetting to talk about the Oscars etc, etc. It was a beautiful.

It starts with how weird Welsh words and Karilyn's name are, nation specific ents and christmas trees remaining stubbornly upright; the struggle of uncertainty that beset Karilyn as she prepared for adventure (anxiety yeah!). They also stumble upon an idea for a new podcast series (did someone say spinoff?) exploring books and their adaptations, and how Game of Thrones might end (spoilers?). It's all an effort for the two of them to be more productive!

Things we talk about: Nick losing all the money on the Super Bowl; Endgame Super Bowl trailer/theories; Karilyn and a baby possum rescue; existential ecological responsibilities; Nick begins watching a Star Trek; Friedlieb is the caffeine man and much, much, much more.

This is a big one - Hold up!! How did Black Panther not get nominated for Makeup and Hair-Styling?! Yes, Nick and Karilyn parse through the oscar nominations after all the hoopla has died down to take a more in depth view on how it might shake out on Oscar night. Also, Karilyn wasn't feeling too well and then she saw How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden Kingdom and now she's all better (dragon science), polite storms, and the insane weather in the American Midwest. They discuss if they would be up for going to Mars, and if humanity is capable of having a future past the next two hundred years. You know, the usual stuff. But mostly Oscar Noms. Be warned, Nick goes for a full 15 minutes without pause, breaking down the Best Picture nominees.

Eventually we get around to talking about some of our most anticipated TV shows of this year. The ones we'll see for the first time, the ones returning, the ones we continue to say that we're totally getting around to seeing and are quite happy for the people who do follow said show. Karilyn cracks even more under the weight of pressure to get Netflix. Also, they're in a good mood again, what's up with that?The shows they're into: Game of Thrones, Mr. Robot, Handmaid's Tale, True Detective, Supernatural, Watchmen, The Good Place, Brooklyn 99, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Broad City, Carmen Sandiego, Veep, Stranger Things, etc.

We go from hang gliding to sky diving to the great clown shortage that is currently befalling the globe. Oh and all the amazing new movies coming out this year that we could barely fit all of the ones that we're excited for in it. Karilyn confesses proudly that she's a Basic Film Bitch (we're going to make it a thing), and didn't realise Frozen 2 is very much happening (just hear her reaction when she is told). Nick is almost out of patience with Karilyn and her lack of Netflix. Our most anticipated films (in sort of no particular order): Knives Out, Star Wars: Episode 9, Toy Story 4, Little Women, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Frozen 2, Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Godzilla: King of Monsters, Jojo Rabbit, Captain Marvel, Gemini Man, Ad Astra, Us, Missing Link, High Life, The Day Shall Come, The Rhythm Section, The Irishman, Joker, The Personal History of David Copperfield, The Lion King

It's 2020 - wait, 2019. Nick and Karilyn are both sick, really living their best lives. The time vortex that consumes the days between Christmas and New Year's Day. Both have existential crises on a plane.Nick rants about the existence of three quarter pants and they discuss the heavily skewed expectations of appearance between men and women; also that common sense prevails and there's no tampon tax anymore because yeah, every woman loves having the luxury of a period every month (sarcasm).Other things they talk about: summer and cricket, rowdy cockatoos, make up issue (not at a funeral) and body image, antiquated political systems in superhero movies (Aquaman and Black Panther we're looking at you) and so forth. We want to be kind and do nice things for people this year.

In part one, Nick and Karilyn wander around Melbourne city. They get caught in the rain, obsess over pigeons, make friends with seagulls, discuss the monsters that spoil book and movie endings, the bliss of reading chapter after chapter, Harry Potter, Star Wars concert, reflect on the year they had, heartless modern buildings, the state of their mentality, Alfonso Cuaron’s masterpiece, Roma, buskers, and the absorbing energy permeating the city on a bustling Saturday evening.

Eavesdrop on Nick and Karilyn at The Sherlock Holmes bar in the second part of the year end show. Pour a cold one and settle in on a warm evening as they discuss, pop culture consuming, the escalation of bespoke beer culture, the issues facing rational and pragmatic progress so that the world doesn't burn up. Nick once more gushes over Roma, why are Nazis still a thing, acting is not something you can just start doing, Greg. We're a friend pair apparently.Note: Things got a little noisy here (it may have been because it was in a bar) and so the sound of our voices is more like a conversation that is totally engrossing that one overhears when they're relaxing with friends in a wonderful, quaint bar on a warm Saturday night. You'll think you're actually there. So it's more of a transporting experience. Which we try to do every now and again for you wonderful people.

Here's a little, brief history about Karilyn and Nick. Also airport ordeals, surprise birthdays, surreal landscapes, and the crushing realisation that 2018 is almost at an end. And yet still they both remain happy. Who are they even! Additionally, they'll be around Melbourne town this Saturday from 4pm talking about things and people and the passing of life in front of their eyes. Follow us on Instagram @swishaus and Twitter @swishculture.

Excitement over watching someone else watch a film you love. The buffet of films coming in 2019. Weird hills that people die on these days. Karilyn wants real lemonade. Both of them are relatively happy for some reason. Also, they introduce a new, way too late topic - simple pleasures. We all need it.

On the passing of Marvel titan and perpetual sunglasses wearer, Stan Lee, and discussing death more openly. Nick voted in the Victorian State election and no suppression was involved (he missed out on a democracy sausage though) Also another weird cosmic prediction/fact, Karilyn has a new job. They discuss their very own Marvel Cinematic Universe movies tiers and rankings.

Very exhausted, Nick & Karilyn reflect on the US Midterm Election and the potential of hope for the future. Wisconsin got a new governor which makes Karilyn really happy. Also Nick went dancing, Karilyn discovers that sleep hygiene is a thing (tips abound!), and thoughts on Ancient Egypt's mummification of food and cats.

BENEFITS OF GROUP TOUR VACATIONS Group tours can be a great experience to bond with other families and make instant friends. If you have multiple kids, being around other kids seems to stop them from bickering and fighting on the trip. Going on a group tour of a location you can go off the beaten path a bit more without feeling nervous or unsure. With a group tour you have a great support system for questions or to help you in the case of an emergency. When using Intrepid for booking your group tour, they will tell you what age kids are already booked onto the trip for the time you are going. If you are flexible with your trip times this may make the difference to your child that you can chose a time that has other kids their age. Doing research on tour companies will make your experience since every company has a different approach/style with you experience, whether it has a more luxury feel or others that more off the beaten path focused on immersing you in the culture. Tour operators know the locals and can introduce you to experiences you wouldn't find on your own. The downside of group tours is that you have less flexibility in your schedule and you may run across personalities that are tough to deal with. FAVORITE TRAVEL GEAR Karilyn loves to wear her Exofficio Bugsaway leggings and a Scottevestlong sleeved cardigan along with her Josef Seibelsandals.

Halloween came and went. Nick and Karilyn recount their experiences on the night. Nick went to a halloween party on his own and arrived way too early. Karilyn attended a short film screening and intercepted a hug intended for someone else. Also, GO VOTE AMERICA.

And finally, the incisive, smart deconstruction of horror and slasher films, Cabin in the Woods. Nick gasps pretty much the whole time as he tries to be one step ahead of the film (he doesn't). Karilyn discusses her lucid dreaming. Doug is also here.

First up, the 1968 psychological horror, Rosemary's Baby (which is definitely not in black and white). Prepare for Nick and Karilyn to be flummoxed by the colours (what does it all mean!) and the prescient and relevant themes that the film so compellingly explores. Multiple times Karilyn is ready to flip the table in righteous anger. The real horror here is social interactions with the neighbors.

A Halloween extravaganza awaits you all with three episodes this week. Two movies - Rosemary's Baby and The Cabin in the Woods (28 Days Later was cruelly taken from us) will be commented, broken down, guffawed, marinated and served for your listening pleasure. They are baffled by the pronunciation of 'samhain', Nick gets a kink in his neck. Karilyn is ready to get off this planet at 90, and that Halloween for her was an excuse to dress up and scare the hell out of people (never change)

Get out and vote Americans! So apparently the world will begin to end in little over a decade oh my god. This is not a drill, people. Nick and Karilyn wrap their heads around the new climate change report from the UN and them literally saying to everyone that IT. WILL. HAPPEN if nothing is done. Scumbag Dodo is this years Scumbag Steve (blast from the past). Also Taylor Swift is in the game, and she threw down. HARD. Voting surge from her getting all political. And religious freedom, Australian catholic school system, and so forth. Our Halloween spectacular will be happening in a couple of weeks so we also try to talk about that. It's only that things got real existentially despairing with the world turning into a extreme climate rollercoaster in twelve years time. Karilyn forgot to press record. Crisis was averted.For real though, everyone needs to get to know this report, and what it's projecting. You don't need to read the whole thing but skimming it, or getting the most salient parts from news sources helps mightily. This isn't fanciful or fear mongering. This is legitimate and falling rapidly within our life time. Or think of it this way, we have roughly twenty more Marvel films to go before there's really no turning back.

And we have a ridiculously celebrity centric episode from outta nowhere. Utter clickbait but we're doing it anyway, we don't care. What is a real reality TV show and what isn't? Number 6 will surprise you! Also Flockstars is a thing. Nick and Karilyn tip toe toward the entrance of the reality television rabbit hole. Karilyn successfully mails her postal vote for the upcoming mid-terms in the US. Nick is frustrated and sad about the Cubs losing to the Brewers and then to the Rockies to crash out of the playoffs. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is a horror movie with dinosaurs that needed more dinosaurs killing bad people (we're not behind the news, you are!) Also yet another awkward ending. We're big in Sweden apparently.

Nick and Karilyn enjoy all the meats of Melbourne's cultural stew so they go to the ballet. It doesn't have a bear riding around in a cart. Instead it's Spartacus with many leaps. From The Australian Ballet Company. These guys are legit. Powerful, intense, beautiful, enthralling, a lot of grape platters teetering on bathtub edges. Both a preview and reaction - two parts in one. What value. Nick sees it as a silent movie, better to process. The kids should have had a leash, Karilyn loses her phone, Nick accidentally stumbles onto some helpful advice for writing for characters of different backgrounds. Shoutout to Proof is in the Pudding and their gorge-worthy cakes that make an appearance. Briefly, before being consume. Also Nagini was a human character? Stop. Everything.

How obscure can literature trivia get? Dead Sea Scrolls calendars don't mess around, first aliens in stories is a little further back than we thought. They're both in the reeds a little. Nick goes to the AFL finals and is annoyed at the mass of humanity. Karilyn's live reaction to watching the Captain Marvel trailer that is omg, and gushing over Mary Poppins Returns. Good news, bad news: A technical difficulty. Needles are supposed to go in haystacks, not strawberries. Cathay Pacific renames itself after Frankie doesn't show up to work. Karilyn lands a role involving a piano and some Italian dancers, Nick cataclysmically overthinks being given a pass to a film festival screening.

Reflecting on the 9/11 anniversary, rich people voices, the prevalence of baby sharks. Trivia time: Mesoamerican ball games where the losing team is sacrificed to the gods, and the Ancient Egyptians relationship being all cool and chill 'cause they reminded them of all their gods. The Chicago Cubs are frustrating Nick. Karilyn experiences Queens of the Stone Age in concert and can't remember a big band sounding supporting act that played a song about zombies. Good news, bad news: wedge tailed eagles are not having a good time in country Victoria, and a new theory involving flux tubes may answer the question as to why the universe has three spatial dimensions (mind proceeds to be blown) is released because scientists are beautifully, crazily imaginative. Also Lin-Manuel Miranda is a treasure.Title music - 'This Dog is the King of the Losers' by Bee Bee Sea

Nick and Karilyn attempt to announce what the new season will be be about, fail emphatically. Instead they muse on adulting, sausages, the abject meaning of existence, decide to sacrifice their souls to binge watch some reality TV, representation in film and the toxic backlash culture that's spilling over from the online to the real world. We also run through some random headlines of the day and leave on a little cat-related hope.

Delve further into the archives as Nick and Karilyn experience James Cameron's masterpiece, Aliens, the tentacles of corporation, the various constructs of freedom and how modern society and culture deals with it, the issue of bullying and how to treat it, the differences between Alien and Aliens (apart from the 's'), Karilyn’s first AFL match, and debate what kind of apocalypse they’d be most excited for.

As we countdown to the return of a new season, listen to some of the classics. The second worst superhero film to star Ryan Reynolds, Green Lantern We also talk about Nick’s experience at the Middle Earth film marathon, hipster couples, what makes a good superhero film, the next installment of Nick’s existential crisis, Karilyn freaking out over seeing some wig netting on Sinestro, training montages, thoughts on Solo, Deadpool 2, and (belatedly) Avengers: Infinity War.

Before Nick and Karilyn return, Nick checks in with brother Chris and Dan Thomas to preview the AFL finals, who can possibly topple Richmond, the catastrophic failure at Carlton, the fortunes of the teams from outside the eight, the crapshoot of the NRL, and Chris and Nick's horse goes for a gallop.

Have you heard about Nextdoor? It's a social networking site for neighborhoods and today we're discussing some of its features. Looking to buy a home? Get a Full Home Search Looking to sell your home? Free Home Price Evaluation Recently I had the opportunity to speak with Karilyn Thibodeau from the social networking website Nextdoor. If you aren't already familiar with Nextdoor, the main thing you need to know is that it's a networking site for neighborhoods. Since the trend of introducing yourself to the neighbors in person has become less and less prevalent, Nextdoor's goal is to connect communities. The thing that sets Nextdoor apart is that everyone must be verified. If someone is shown as living in a home on Nextdoor, that information is verified by the site to ensure that you know who you're really connecting with. Additionally, everyone must upload their real name and photo. Putting a face and name to your neighbors can make a big difference. Nextdoor has also recently added a new Pet Directory feature. In fact, one major use people have found for Nextdoor is communicating with their neighbors to find lost pets. “PUTTING A FACE AND NAME TO YOUR NEIGHBORS CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.” When you upload your pet's information on Nextdoor you're not only taking preemptive steps in case they're ever loss, you're also letting your neighbors get to know you a little better. Many people have been in a situation where they've approached a neighbor on a walk to ask their dog's name. With Nextdoor's Pet Directory feature, you'll already know. Karilyn was also excited to let me know about another exciting feature coming soon to Nextdoor—a real estate section. Homeowners understand that listings in their neighborhood directly affect the value of their own homes. When you live in a neighborhood, it's natural to be curious about what's going on in the world of real estate as it relates to your community. The real estate section in Nextdoor is different because, as with everything else on the site, what you are able to see is always specific to your neighborhood. You'll be able to see what listings are priced at, what agents are working with those listings, and more. If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
