As temperatures fluctuate across metro Atlanta, homeowners may notice more pest activity as rodents and insects seek warmth and shelter. Neil Bloyd, director of learning and technical services with Northwest Exterminating, joins host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss how homeowners can proactively prepare their homes for winter pests while planning ahead for spring insect activity. Winter Pest Prevention Starts With Exclusion Rodents are the primary concern during late fall and winter, as mice can squeeze through openings “as small as a dime” and rats through openings “the size of a quarter.” Bloyd encourages homeowners to seal entry points and inspect attics—particularly when retrieving holiday decorations—for signs of droppings. “A lot of pests are attracted to lighting,” Bloyd said. “Keeping the garage door open—those kinds of things are oftentimes overlooked, but they can lead to pest issues.” What winter pests should homeowners look for in the fall? Smoky brown cockroaches tend to surge in the fall and persist through winter, while Joro spiders are strictly outdoor spiders and unlikely to enter homes. While their long-term ecological impact is still being studied, Bloyd notes that Joro spiders can be beneficial predators, particularly of brown marmorated stink bugs, which are harmful to agriculture. Getting Ahead of Spring Insects Looking ahead to spring, managing moisture is one of the most effective preventive strategies. “Replacing old pine straw or mulch is advised, as well as not piling it too high,” Bloyd said. “If you can keep a six-inch gap between the pine straw mulch and the foundation that allows that area to dry out, which makes it less inviting for those pests.” Vegetation management is also critical. Tree limbs and shrubs touching the home act as “easy highways” for ants and other insects to enter the structure. Timing Matters for Sealing and Treatments Homeowners should carefully consider when to seal entry points. Sealing too early can trap overwintering pests—such as ladybugs, stink bugs and box elder bugs—inside wall voids, leading to odors and secondary infestations “I would advise doing that in late spring or even summertime,” Bloyd said, “when they've already vacated but before they return for winter.” Mosquito prevention should begin in February or March to reduce populations before peak season. By summer, populations are often already established, making control much more difficult. Termite Protection and Inspections Termites remain a year-round concern in Georgia. Bloyd recommends annual professional inspections. Termite swarms, most common in spring, indicate an established colony and require timely attention. Northwest Exterminating offers a range of termite protection options, including the Sentricon Colony Elimination System, as well as pretreatment services for new construction in partnership with homebuilders.

Producer Kailyn Bennett reports on the latest National Association of REALTORS® data showing existing-home sales rose 0.5% in November to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.13 million. While sales increased for the third straight month, inventory tightened to 4.2 months of supply, and the national median home price rose 1.2% year over year. The report also shows mixed regional trends, stronger single-family home sales compared to condos, and a growing share of investor and second-home buyers, as mortgage rates declined in November.

On today's episode of the agentXcel podcast we have Taylor Tucker, a 24-year-old Realtor who just crossed her two-year mark and is already building real momentum by betting on herself, working hard, and showing up authentically online and in real life. Taylor shares how she started on a team and built her initial pipeline through massive action, including 30 open houses in 30 days and 50 open houses in two months during the peak of summer. Those conversations turned into real transactions, including her first home sold from a neighbor who walked into an open house. She explains why she left her team after a year to build her own brand, why social media mattered early on, and why a 50/50 split no longer made sense once she fully committed to her business. Taylor breaks down how she grew a brand new real estate Instagram to 10,000 followers in one year by posting daily, staying consistent, and keeping her content entertaining instead of salesy. That consistency has led to clients who already trust her before the first conversation. We also talk about batching content with a videographer, using social media reach as leverage with sellers, shifting messaging toward higher level clients, and her focus heading into 2026 on luxury listings, cold calling, and a disciplined 75 medium style reset. The core takeaway is simple. Confidence attracts, arrogance repels, and results come when you stop overthinking and just post.   Connect with top real estate agents, gain valuable insights, and grow your business—all for free.

The Powerball jackpot finally has a winner. After 47 drawings, someone in Arkansas is taking home $1.8 billion — yes, billion with a “B.” And if you didn’t buy a ticket, you already know the rule: you can’t win if you don’t play. Real estate works the same way. You have to buy in to build wealth. That’s something the expert Realtors at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Premier Properties know well. Pat Karley and Deb Clark say many buyers wait for their “forever” home — and miss out in the process. Starter homes often offer the best opportunities, especially for first-time buyers andinvestors.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if doing less in real estate actually gave you more — more peace, more presence at home, and a stronger business?In this episode of The Faithful Agent Podcast, Garrett Maroon shares a powerful true story of an agent who chose 30 homes over 70 — and how that single decision changed everything. This intentional decision was made so this agent could finally pick her daughter up from school — the very reason she entered real estate in the first place. Through this story and his own journey, Garrett exposes how hustle culture baptizes burnout, ties identity to production, and quietly steals what matters most.This episode explores what it means to define a healthy ceiling, work from obedience instead of pressure, and trust God as the true builder of our businesses. Garrett shares how reducing his workweek from 60 hours to 40 didn't shrink his business — it saved his life, his marriage, and his peace.If you're winning on paper but losing at home, this conversation will challenge you to rethink success, redefine faithfulness, and choose a pace that protects your family and honors the Lord.Key TakeawaysHustle culture often disguises burnout as ambitionChoosing fewer clients can actually increase impact and referralsSelling more homes is not always obedienceA healthy business starts with a healthy homeGod builds the business — not your availability 24/7Working fewer hours can strengthen your marriage and familyA hurried agent can never be a trusted advisorDefining a “healthy ceiling” protects faith, family, and peaceClients respect clear boundaries more than constant accessSometimes the bravest decision is choosing lessChapters00:00 – Introduction & the Story of Choosing 30 Over 70 02:20 – Why Hustle Culture Is So Dangerous 04:25 – When Winning on Paper Means Losing at Home 06:30 – Reducing Work Hours Without Killing Your Business 08:40 – Setting Boundaries Clients Will Respect 10:40 – Defining a Healthy Ceiling 12:55 – Obedience vs. Opportunity 14:30 – Why Fewer Clients Can Mean More Referrals 15:30 – Protecting What Matters Most 17:20 – Final Encouragement & Call to Action

In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, host David Carothers welcomes back Andy Mathisen, Insurance Sales Manager for Homebot. They dive into how agencies can dominate the personal lines market by shifting from transactional relationships to value-driven engagement.  Andy breaks down how Homebot serves as a "set it and forget it" tool that keeps agents front-and-center with insureds while simultaneously generating leads for loan officers and realtors—flipping the traditional referral food chain on its head. Key Highlights: What is Homebot? Andy explains that Homebot is a monthly home digest sent to insureds with a staggering 76% open rate. Unlike standard newsletters, this digest provides homeowners with real-time data on their home value, loan balance, and purchasing power (equity for refinances, HELOCs, or new purchases). The "Santa Claus" Effect: Gaining Leverage  Historically, insurance agents are at the bottom of the referral food chain (Realtor > Lender > Agent). Andy details how Homebot changes this dynamic by aggregating a "Team of Professionals" on the client's dashboard. When a homeowner interacts with financial tools on the platform, the insurance agent can pass those leads back to lenders and realtors, creating immense leverage and reciprocity. Content Strategy: Donuts vs. Data David and Andy discuss why dropping off donuts at a loan officer's office no longer works. To win in today's market, agents must provide actionable data and tools that help their referral partners grow.  The "Too Busy" Trap  The duo critiques the mindset of agency owners who claim they are "too busy" for new leads. They discuss the necessity of implementing systems, departmentalization, and proper website content strategies (blogs vs. paid ads) to scale consulting capabilities without drowning in work. Pet Peeves: Pick Up the Phone! Andy shares his frustration with agencies that rely on complex phone trees or refuse to answer calls, and the growing trend of prospects "ghosting" after good sales calls.

Why Homebuyers Need a Mortgage Expert Buying a home is often the most significant financial decision a person will make, and the process can feel overwhelming. Supreme Lending goes beyond traditional loan origination to help clients evaluate cash flow, debt and long-term financial goals. Nehiley said, “It’s usually the product that they have the most anxiety about, because you’re dealing with their credit, their income, their money, their hopes and dreams, and their family’s hopes and dreams.” Supreme Lending also offers Supreme Essentials, which includes Budget Essentials and Credit Essentials, 20- to 30-minute online courses that guide clients on budgeting and credit management. The firm's in-house credit expert, with more than 30 years of experience at credit bureaus, helps clients raise their scores by an average of 100 points. Nehiley said, “Maybe you’re at a 650, but getting to 750 changes your interest rate by half a percent. I mean, those can be substantial amounts.” To make the mortgage process more transparent, Supreme Lending uses an AI-powered tool called the Home Buyer Journey. The technology includes several modules that guide clients through every step of the homebuying process. Innovative Mortgage Options for Today's Buyers Looking for more flexibility in your mortgage? Nehiley shares some of her favorite options that are gaining traction: Bank Statement Loans: For self-employed borrowers, income is verified through bank deposits instead of tax returns. Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) Loans: These loans focus on rental property cash flow rather than personal income. 40-Year Mortgages: 40-year mortgages reduce monthly payments for increased affordability. Proposed 50-year mortgages could provide additional flexibility for debt management and short-term affordability. Two-One Buydowns: Two-one buydowns are temporary interest rate reductions that benefit both homebuyers and builders. Interest-Only Mortgages: Homebuyers manage their cash flow while benefiting from home appreciation. “These loans are vehicles to help buyers now—they don't mean you're locked in for decades,” said Nehiley. “You can refinance or adjust as your situation changes.” Helping Buyers Make Smart Decisions With numerous loan options and fluctuating rates, Nehiley is passionate about educating clients to reduce confusion and stress. She breaks down costs into manageable steps, showing how small changes in loan amounts, down payments or home prices affect monthly payments. “For every $10,000 in home price, your monthly payment changes by roughly $60 to $70. That perspective helps buyers make informed decisions and avoid sticker shock.” Tune into the full episode for deeper insight into innovative mortgage products, creative financing solutions and how buyers can navigate today's evolving homebuying landscape.

The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Rob Hahn and Greg Robertson close out the year by revisiting their 2024 predictions and grading how they actually turned out. From transaction volume and mortgage rates to MLS power shifts, NAR's role, Zillow's influence, and major industry moments, the episode becomes a candid year-in-review on what really changed—and what didn't—in real estate. Key Takeaways Greg outperformed Rob on most economic predictions, including transaction volume, mortgage rates, and median home prices.  The stock market's strong performance validated Rob's bullish call.  MLSs and NAR dominated debate: MLS autonomy increased, while NAR's influence continued to erode.  Realtor.com's acquisition activity missed Greg's specific predictions, while Rob's calls on Phoenix-style breakaways and MLS mergers did not materialize. Zillow's growing power, ongoing lawsuits, and IDX tensions were identified as major forces shaping the future. Housing affordability emerged as a defining political issue, highlighted by discussions around commissions, younger voter sentiment, and proposals like 50-year mortgages.  Both hosts frame 2025 as a "transition year," where the consequences of earlier lawsuits and policy shifts fully surfaced.

The Weisman Family Christmas with Brad, Jess, Catherine and CarsonThe room is buzzing before the mics even warm up—tree debates, cookie takes, and the joyful chaos that only a family Christmas special can deliver. We invite you into our living room as we swap stories about real trees versus fake, the power of a good holiday soundtrack, and why Christmas Eve still hits like magic. If you've ever argued over which movie starts the season or whether peppermint deserves a permanent spot in the freezer, you'll feel right at home.We move from traditions to taste—Plow Farms popcorn while picking the tree, the Colors of Christmas album during decorating, and Andrea Bocelli on repeat when the house finally quiets. The kids put in their votes for advent calendars, school news segments, and those TastyKake cookies that somehow disappear faster than the beef and lobster on Christmas Day. We revisit the greatest gifts—PS5s and Starter Jackets, Ataris and Pianos—and consider what rising wish lists say about what we value now: time, tools, and the chance to make something together. There's even a hopeful plea for a 3D printer, because creativity is a gift that keeps giving.Beyond the fun, we sit with what matters most: gratitude for health, faith that centers the season, and the steady warmth of being together. Not everyone gets these moments, and that awareness deepens the meaning of the ones we do have. From Christmas Vacation and Elf to Carol of the Bells and the Post-Thanksgiving music rule, this is a cheerful, honest snapshot of a family finding rhythm, laughter, and purpose in December.If this episode made you smile, tap follow, share it with someone who loves the holidays, and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

Existing home sales rose for the third consecutive month in November based on data from the National Association of Realtors.The seasonally adjusted total of 4.13 million homes sold in the last year was the highest since February, but it remained well below prior norms. From 2013 to 2023, existing home sales typically eclipsed 5 million per year.An article published by the Wall Street Journal noted that 54% of primary mortgage-holders have mortgage rates at or below 4%, which represents close to 30 million households.It appears the locked-in effect for single-family homes will continue next year. The Mortgage Bankers Association recently forecasted that mortgage rates will average 6.4% in 2026, giving very little relief to the lack of affordability in the for-sale home market.Explore our webpage for more insights and resources:https://bit.ly/Radix_Website

Kim Costa brings over 30 years of experience in real estate, construction, and design, and she's on a mission to help people create homes that truly serve their lives. After realizing that many homeowners choose properties that look great in photos but quietly hold them back, Kim had an aha moment — one that led her to win an essay contest for The Oprah Show (and then famously tell them not to come film at her own house!). From that revelation came The Wheel House Assessment, a framework combining the Wheel of Life and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to help people turn their homes into launchpads for success in every area — from relationships and health to business and purpose. Today, Kim teaches executives, entrepreneurs, and families to see their homes as partners in success, and she's bringing her message to a national audience as a new co-host on American Dream TV starting in November.In this episode, Kim shares how our homes and workspaces directly impact our business, productivity, and overall fulfillment, and how real estate agents can take a more consultative approach to truly serve their clients in meaningful ways. She explains how understanding a client's deeper goals can help you guide them toward environments that actually help them live better, perform better, and reach their potential — while setting you apart as a trusted advisor, not just another agent.You Can Find Kim @:

The Zillow Climate Data Shake-up: We discuss why Zillow recently pulled climate risk data—such as flood and wildfire scores—from its listings after accuracy concerns were flagged by the CRMLS.

Accuracy vs. Transparency: Understand the risks of relying on modeled environmental scores and why Zillow is prioritizing data verification over potentially misleading buyers. The International Landlord's Guide: We answer a critical listener question regarding rental documents for non-citizen tenants without a Social Security number. We break down the essential paperwork you need to collect—from Passports and I-94 records to international credit reports—to protect your investment.

Let's talk about the guilt loop so many Realtors get stuck in: when you're at work, you feel guilty about missing life — and when you're at home, you feel guilty about stepping away from your business. In this special replay of our Hustle Humbly Community Live Zoom, we're diving deep into how to set boundaries during a season that's naturally full of busyness, distraction, and high expectations (hello, holidays). This conversation is packed with relatable stories, powerful mindset shifts, and real advice from agents like you who are trying to find a way to serve their clients *and* show up for their families. Whether you're fighting burnout, feeling pulled in too many directions, or just wondering if it's okay to take a day off — this chat is your permission slip. We also hear from our friend Emily, who stepped away from real estate for a year after a devastating loss, and came back to have her best year ever. Her six takeaways are gold for any Realtor who wants to build a business that serves their life, not one that consumes it. Here's what we cover in this episode: - The mental load of the holiday season and how to protect your time - The quote that helped Alissa let go of the guilt (thanks RBG!) - The false urgency of real estate — and how to recognize *real* emergencies - Why "no" is a full sentence - What it means to actually build a business that serves you - The power of scheduled texts, second phone lines, and a literal "brick" to lock your apps - Why social time *is* work time (hello, database!) - How one agent stepped away from her business — and came back stronger

Through her own journey of transformation and healing, she was once a stressed-out, overwhelmed, unhappy, and dissatisfied Realtor.
