In this episode of Real Estate Success: The Whissel Way, hosts Kyle Whissel and Bryan Koci break down the exact strategy their team uses to throw Mega Open Houses that draw 100+ people—even in a tough market. They discuss how most agents fail by doing the bare minimum, while their method turns listings into events that generate buzz, build relationships, and lead to multiple offers. From marketing like a Hollywood movie premiere to using an omni-channel approach—mailers, door knocking, video invites, and follow-ups—Kyle shares how he achieved over 50% market share in one neighborhood with this system. If you're tired of weak open house results, this episode is your full playbook.

Along the way, she opens up about grief, motivation, the myth of neutrality in development — and why she believes burrito access should be part of every city's walk score...

In Illinois, as in other states, there are many towns and cities with what are known as “crime-free housing” ordinances. The idea is to keep drugs and other illegal activity out of apartment buildings and other rental properties. Critics say the ordinances disproportionately target low-income families and people of color while supporters of the law say the programs ensure safety and have helped revitalize struggling neighborhoods.

Birds of the same species don't always sing exactly the same as each other. But those that live near each other sometimes have similar songs. Scientists refer to this pattern as a song neighborhood. It's less like a regional dialect among people that's found over a large area. It's more local than that, like a group of friends copying each other's mannerisms.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

“City Life, Creeping Gentrification and Flesh-eating Snakes:” now that's a gripping tagline! Josh Green, editor of Urbanize Atlanta, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss his new novel, “Goodbye, Sweetberry Park,” which explores gentrification and urban development through the eyes of the fictional journalist, Archie “God” Johnson. From the Rust Belt to Urbanize Atlanta Green grew up in the Rust Belt and describes it as the “polar opposite of the growing Sun Belt population explosion.” As he began to explore the country, he was fascinated by the vibrance and quick growth of Atlanta and many Florida cities. Now the editor of Urbanize Atlanta, Green taps into his passion for urban development every day, providing readers with detailed perspectives on all things Atlanta. Urbanize Atlanta celebrates its fourth anniversary this year. Green said, “You get on the ground with a camera and just really explore the curiosities about what's happening and how it all links together.” Goodbye Sweetberry Park Following the success of his short story collection, “Dirtyville Rhapsodies” and first novel, “Secrets of Ash,” Green released a new novel, “Goodbye, Sweetberry Park,” earlier this year. The novel chronicles the joys and struggles of a fictional veteran journalist covering a chaotic summer in Atlanta. “It's kind of an amalgamation of a lot of different, fun, beautiful, lovely, troubled, historic intown Atlanta places ranging from West End to Cabbagetown,” said Green. “There's Grant Park mixed in, the fictional Zoo and then where I'm living now, Kirkwood and some Oakhurst.” “Goodbye Sweetberry Park” offers a more personal perspective of gentrification in Atlanta neighborhoods. Green says he draws from his experiences as an Atlanta reporter, so this novel serves as his “street-level” perspective on the topic. One of Green's early influences for the novel was an Atlanta Magazine article he wrote, “The Gentrifier.” He detailed his experience in buying a larger intown home for his family and becoming a “gentrifier” in the process. The article went on to win an Atlanta Press Association Award and sparked major conversations about modernization in the city. Green states that the neighborhood transformation that has stuck with him is the Atlanta Beltline. The trails offer alternative transportation, while restaurants and recreation are big influences for tourism to the city. As Atlanta grows and develops, the Beltline is an asset to connect residents to work, home and attractions. What About Affordable Housing? Transit-oriented development is one way that Green sees Atlanta adding affordable housing. Neighborhoods such as Candler Park are already one step ahead, converting unused MARTA parking lots into brilliant housing complexes and retail centers. With convenient proximity to local MARTA stations and rapid bus routes, residents can take transportation out of their monthly budgets, which makes housing more attainable in the long run. Tune in to the full episode to discover more about Atlanta gentrification and Green's experiences as an Atlanta journalist. Order your copy of “Goodbye, Sweetberry Park” on Amazon or at JoshRGreen.com. About Josh Green Josh Green is the editor of Urbanize Atlanta, a popular news site known for its colorful, up-close coverage of Atlanta. In March 2025, he released his second book, Goodbye, Sweetberry Park,” a brand-new story behind “Secrets of Ash,” the first installation in his Peach-State trilogy. “Dirtyville Rhapsodies,” his published book of short stories, was highly acclaimed from the start, named “Best Book for the Beach” by Men's Health and in Atlanta Magazine's “Top 10 Books of 2013.” Podcast Thanks Thank you to Denim Marketing for sponsoring Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio.

The City of Seattle and Seattle Public Schools are inviting the public to say goodbye to Seattle High School Memorial Stadium this Thursday, June 26, 2025 from 4pm to 7pm. Memorial Stadium – built in 1947 - was deemed to be not worthy of landmark status in Seattle and will be demolished, while the 1951 wall engraved with names of Seattle Public Schools' WWII war dead was given landmark status and will be preserved. With the stadium's imminent destruction prior to construction of a new facility, Feliks Banel's focus on this BONUS ENCORE EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is what's often called the "anti-nomination" process for potential landmarks. These "anti-nominations" are reviewed by the City of Seattle Department of Neighborhoods' Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board, and this unofficial term applies when a building's owner does NOT want the building designated as a city landmark. Consultants and attorneys join in a process that probably runs counter to how many people believe historic preservation programs should operate in the United States. On Wednesday, October 4, 2023 the Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board voted to designate only the 1951 memorial wall at Memorial Stadium as a city landmark, and to not designate 1947 Memorial Stadium. Through audio from the meeting and excerpts from email correspondence, we use Memorial Stadium as a case study to show how public resources are being devoted to processes that appear to be lacking some key elements of what might be called good government. This episode of CASCADE OF HISTORY was originally broadcast live at 8pm Pacific Time on Sunday, October 8, 2023 via SPACE 101.1 FM and streaming live via space101fm.org from studios at historic Magnuson Park – formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

In this thought-provoking episode of WAHNcast, hosts Angie Truitt and Mark Shelburne sit down with Dr. Gregg Colburn, co-author of Affordable Housing in the United States, and Emila Sutton, Director of Housing and Neighborhoods for the City of Raleigh, to explore how research, policy, and on-the-ground leadership intersect in the fight against homelessness. Together, they bust common myths, unpack why some communities succeed where others fall short, and dive into the powerful role of zoning, cross-sector collaboration, and public advocacy. From national data to local wins, this conversation bridges academic insight with real-world application and leaves listeners with a hopeful, actionable vision for change. Whether you're a policymaker, advocate, or housing practitioner, this episode will inspire you to rethink assumptions and lean into evidence-based, community-driven solutions.

But ask Black activists, educators, and community leaders there—it felt all-too familiar: another chapter in a long story of government muscle flexing against its own people.From Little Rock's schoolhouse steps to Selma's bloodied streets, history reminds us federal troops haven't always stood on the right side of justice.

There's an area southeast of Lake Merritt that's lined with abandoned buildings, boarded up storefronts, vacant lots, and decrepit warehouses. The neighborhoods here, Clinton and San Antonio, are some of Oakland's oldest. Although there are also beautiful Victorian houses, long-established churches, and several thriving immigrant communities, including a stretch of Vietnamese establishments known as Little Saigon, this area has suffered from disinvestment and high crime rates for decades – why? Answering that question requires a trip through more than a century of Oakland history – from the Gold Rush up through the Urban Renewal era and beyond. Exploring this story illuminates not only the problems of these neighborhoods, but helps explain the rise and fall of entire cities. “The leading edge of development follows the wealthiest residents,” according to Mitchell Schwarzer, the author of “Hella Town: Oakland's History of Development and Disruption.” In this episode, Schwarzer unpacks that diagnosis, and what it means for older neighborhoods left to crumble as investors chase new frontiers. This conversation was inspired by Schwarzer's work with the San Antonio Station Alliance, a campaign advocating for the construction of a BART station and transit village.

We explore the problem of food access in Greater Cincinnati and local solutions.

At the direction of President Trump the U.S. Department of Justice has sued four states -- Vermont, New York, Hawaii, and Michigan -- that are trying to recover some climate costs from major fossil fuel companies through climate superfund laws and litigation. The DOJ cases are seen by some as frivolous extensions of the other actions the Trump administration has taken to aid the fossil fuel industry. Also, a project called Climate Wayfinding aims to tend to the deepest needs of climate activists by providing a space for reflection, connection, and clarity amid the chaos. Climate Wayfinding has its roots in the All We Can Save project, co-founded by Dr. Katharine Wilkinson, who shares her own story of moving from feeling lost to gaining clarity about her role in the climate movement. And "depaving parties" of volunteers with sledgehammers are turning paved yards into pollinator havens and green space. That can help reduce climate impacts from extreme heat and flooding.

In this episode, I connect with Seth Kaplan, author of the recent book "Fragile Neighborhoods" and a recent article "The Real User Interface: Recovering Our Neighborhoods," for a conversation about the challenges of our current community designs and how we can make our neighborhoods less fragile, or to channel Nassim Taleb, make our neighborhoods "Anti-Fragile" once again.Seth argues that our planners and engineers have built a physical landscape optimized for cars but minimized for actual human relationships, suggesting that the automobile is arguably the technology that has made the biggest impact on our associational life while our spread-out community design isolates and divides, weakening the bonds that tie us together. This is especially problematic for children, whose opportunities for spontaneous free play—and the constructive friction that self-organized activities create—are further limited when the physical landscape discourages exploration. He emphasizes that having meaningful destinations within comfortable walking distance is key to building strong ties between us.Thank you so much for tuning in!

Seeing investors with hundreds of rental units can be intimidating, but you DON'T need a massive real estate portfolio to achieve your financial goals. As you're about to hear, buying just one rental property could allow you to live rent-free and put you on the path toward financial independence! Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! From a young age, Ronny Heredia knew he wanted to achieve financial independence, but there had to be a better way than grinding away at a W2 job for 40-plus years. Naturally, he started investing in stocks, but before long, his curiosity had led him to real estate investing. He consumed as much information as he could, saved up some money for a down payment, and purchased his first property—a “luxury” house hack that covers his entire mortgage payment each month! Now, Ronny has (good) problems on his hands. Should he pay off his mortgage or buy more rentals? We'll explore all his options in today's episode. But that's not all. Ronny will also share some of the real estate investing hacks he's picked up along the way—like the easiest way to raise rent (and keep your tenants happy) and how to use 100%-free AI tools to find the best real estate deals in your market! In This Episode We Cover: Fast-tracking financial independence with a “small and mighty” portfolio Paying off your first property versus scaling your real estate portfolio How to eliminate your mortgage payment with the house hacking strategy The easiest way to negotiate rent increases with your tenants How to use AI to find “hidden gem” properties that other investors overlook And So Much More!
