Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Good Neighbor Podcast, the place
where local businesses andneighbors come together.
Here's your host, Jeremy Wolf.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Well, hello, hello, hello there everyone.
Welcome to the Good NeighborPodcast.
Got a fun one today.
Our guest, Tanya Cunningham.
I actually met her.
What was it, tanya?
Maybe like two years ago I wasinvited to a BNI group and we
met each other through there andwe've kind of stayed in touch,
but infrequently.
(00:32):
And the other day it was mybirthday and she was nice enough
to reach out and give me a callto wish me a happy birthday and
we reconnected and I said,tanya, you're a realtor, you're
very active in the communityhere.
You should come on the podcastso we could talk a little bit
about what you do and all thevalue that you bring to our
great community.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
So, tanya, welcome to the show.
I am looking forward to gettinginto this with you.
Thank you, jeremy, and thankyou so much for inviting me.
I really appreciate it and,yeah, it's great that we
reconnected.
We stay a little connectedevery year, but it was great to
just chat with you last week andnow, all of a sudden, here we
are, so thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Here we are making it happen in 2025.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So let's start off by .
I've had so many realtors onthe show and obviously everybody
knows what a realtor does, butevery realtor is different and
everyone brings a differentelement to the equation.
So start there.
Tell us a little bit about yourbusiness and then we'll get
into your journey that led youinto being a realtor in the
(01:38):
first place.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yeah, so thank you for that question.
I'm a residential realtor andthat just means that I help
people who are looking to buy orsell a home.
That's for, you know, living in, but it could be an investment,
but it also could be for theirprimary use to live in that
house.
And the majority of my clientseven though I do have investors
(02:01):
are clients who want to buy ahome to live in or they need to
sell it and um, and my journey,the part of it that makes it
interesting is that everybody isdifferent.
Everybody has a reason for whythey want to buy or sell a home.
It's never the same and it'sabout just understanding that
(02:22):
clearly so that I can help myclients reach their goals and
dreams.
And what I've found over theyears is that the clients that
work with me and what they feelwhen they're working with me, is
that I eliminate the fear, theanxiety, the stress, whether
it's me or a team member.
We eliminate those fears, thatanxiety, that stress, um in in
(02:47):
buying or selling a home,because there's a lot that's
involved.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So you mentioned you specialize in residential sales.
Are you servicing primarily theSouth Florida market?
Like where do you spend whatarea?
I know obviously realtors.
You're not necessarily going toturn away business.
You get somebody that needshelp somewhere, you're going to
try your best to help them.
But generally speaking, youhave your pulse on certain areas
.
Where are your typical areas ofspecialties?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah my specialty?
That's a good question, andBroward County is really where I
call it my wheelhouse.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
That's your stomping ground.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yeah, and a little bit of Palm Beach County and a
little bit of Dade County, butyou'll see that the majority of
what I do is in Broward Countyand then, when I'm like you said
, a lot of people will be askedfor help and it might not be in
the area where I am for help andit might not be in the area
(03:48):
where I am, but the good news isthat I have realtor partners
all over the South Florida, allover the country, who I can lean
into whenever a client needshelp.
So I always tell my clients andthe people that I know if it's
somewhere, if you need help,let's start.
You can ask me and I'll guideyou because I'll be able to
connect you with someone if I'mnot able to do it.
Yeah, I wanted to ask you aboutthat.
You can ask me and I'll guideyou because I'll be able to
connect you with someone if I'mnot able to do it.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, I wanted to ask you about that.
You speak in with many realtors.
You'll have a realtor that manycases works through a broker.
You have some that are brokersthemselves.
Then you have some that workthrough a broker but create
their own teams and I know youhave your own group, tanya Homes
Group.
Is that through a largerbrokerage?
Are you your own broker?
How does that process work foryou and your business?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, it's interesting when you become a
realtor, because after youbecome a realtor you can make
some choices and decisions thatare best for you.
So in my case, I've been arealtor for I always say more
than 15 years, but it's reallymore than 20.
I just don't date myself, butso once.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
So wait.
So you started being a realtorwhen you were 10?
.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah, I was 10.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Ah see, flattery will get me everywhere.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yes, it will, jeremy.
So once you have a few yearsunder your belt, you can choose
to become a broker, and then youhave to go ahead and get that
licensing and that's a processjust like it was to get your
real estate license.
So I did do that a couple ofyears ago actually, and now I'm
(05:19):
what's called a broker associate, and a broker associate is
someone who chooses to taketheir broker's license and hang
it with another brokerage.
So they, so my, so my.
My license is with a largerbrokerage which is lpt Realty,
and lpt Realty is the brokeragethat I have my license with, and
(05:39):
my team is know, I have a smallteam, so my team is a part of
Tanya, me being a realtor, mebeing a broker associate but
whoever works with me also is arealtor as well.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
So is the goal to be if you're a broker associate, is
the goal to be a full-on brokeror is there some function, is
there some like utility instaying as a broker associate
through the larger brokerage?
I'm trying to understand thatdynamic Sure and I want to make
it clear.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I can at any time choose to be a broker on my own
and not hang my license with abrokerage.
I've just chosen over the yearsthat I really love being with a
larger brokerage because of thetools, because of how I can
serve my clients.
I like to have the ability tohave whoever is working with me
(06:31):
even get more training.
All of that is possible whenyou're with a larger brokerage
if you choose the right one, andLPT Realty is a great brokerage
for me to hang my license with.
So at any point in time, if Ichose to because I'm a broker, I
can also go ahead and have myJust Be Tanya Homes group at the
(06:52):
brokerage and not even have mylicense with another brokerage.
As a realtor, you don't havethat option.
As a realtor or a salesassociate, what you have to do
is always have your last licensewith another brokerage.
But I have the option and Ichoose to be with a larger
brokerage because it'sbeneficial not only to me
(07:15):
whoever is working with me on myteam, it's also beneficial to
the client.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I want to ask you every time I have a realtor on
the podcast, I actually haven't.
I can't say I've had onerecently, maybe a couple of
months ago but I always ask topull out your crystal ball.
We're going to do crystal balltime right, like we're coming
off.
Post COVID was a crazy boom.
It was a hot topic, prices weresoaring and then obviously
(07:43):
everything kind of flattened outand it's not really on the
radar right now.
I don't hear nearly as muchabout real estate right now.
Talk a little bit about thestate of the market right now
here in South Florida, likewhat's going on with home values
, interest rates, the wholeclimate of the real estate
market, and then again pull outthat crystal ball and look 12
months out, maybe this time in2026, where do you see us?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Okay, wow, that's a great one because it's been such
a roller coaster lately.
It's been very interesting.
In fact, 2024 and 2023, we hadthe lowest sales in the country
of homes since 1995.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So the inventory was gone because everything sold
like a fire sale after COVID,yeah Well it was, inventory was
low in some instances, but alsopeople.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
There are a lot of people that halted on purchasing
because, if you remember,interest rates were really
excellent.
Uh, around 2022, 2021, we hadsome really 2020 even, I mean we
had.
We were coming off many, manyyears of great interest rates
and then covid really added tothat where it just you saw
(09:00):
people having 2.5 interest rates, cheap money, we love cheap
money it was, it was, it wasamazing.
So that's what that frenzy wasabout.
I mean, you would literallyhave 30, 40 offers on one
property, with no joke, where aseller could just sit back and
just salivate over what waspossible.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
It really was crazy.
I'm looking back.
I sold my house right whenthings started going crazy and I
remember looking at comps whenwe listed it and it was like,
okay, this is the right price.
And it sold.
And literally two or threeweeks after the market had
adjusted probably 20%, 25% therewas comparable sales that I
(09:47):
looked at.
I was like, excuse me, whathappened?
I was like traumatized by thatexperience.
For like months after the saleof the house I would drive
around Like every time I saw ahouse listed I wouldn't want to
look at it to see the pricebecause I felt like I got such a
low value for my home.
But everything typicallyhappens for a reason and I'm
(10:10):
glad that I went through thatprocess and it, it, uh, it
taught me a lot about all thisstuff and you really can't ever
time the market, right?
People say, oh, time the market, you'll drive yourself
absolutely crazy, right?
I'll ask you this question when?
When is the right?
When is the right time to buy?
Tanya?
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Well, I always say now is the right time to buy,
and the reason why I say that isbecause, especially even where
we are right now, it might bethat there isn't a lot of
inventory and people might bethinking, okay, I just need to
wait.
People talk about they'rewaiting for a crash to happen,
all of those things that they'reexpecting, but the truth of the
(10:42):
matter is that the prices ofhomes will continue to increase
over time.
So if you're looking to buy andyou're waiting for interest
rates to drop, the interest ratecould drop, but the price of
the home would most likelyincrease and that wait that you
were waiting for it didn't makesense because the cost of
waiting is really.
(11:02):
It doesn't work out for theconsumer.
So when it's about buying ahome, we always say and I always
say that based on my experienceif it is the right time for you
, if it's the right time for you, if everything is where you not
only need to buy a home, butit's the right circumstances,
(11:26):
don't wait, Because if, forinstance, interest rates are
higher than you would like themto be, then of course you can
refinance when interest rates godown.
But instead of waiting for theinterest rates to go down.
You're looking at thepossibility, most likely, of the
prices going up and then itwouldn't be worth the wait.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
There is no time like the present, and especially if
you're looking for your home,right, the house you're going to
live in, maybe your foreverhome.
Yeah, the right time is whenyou're ready, like when you made
the decision to buy a house andyou find the house that you
fall in love with and the restwill just fall into place,
because if you own that houselong enough, like you said, it's
going to appreciate over time.
(12:07):
And then, if you're from theother lens of picking up
investment properties, what I'vefound from my experience is
that if you could just make surethat you're having some monthly
income from that property, someprofit above your mortgage and
your expenses, and you just havesome positive cashflow coming
in, if you own that property forlong enough, you're going to
(12:29):
accumulate so much equity I meantalk about like a secure
retirement plan.
I said this many years ago andI didn't stick to it.
When I was younger I wanted topick up like a property a year,
starting in my twenties so thatwhen I was 50, I owned a
portfolio of 20, 30 propertiesand you're good for retirement.
Haven't quite gotten there yet,but it's been on my radar now
(12:51):
and I'm actively looking for newopportunities because it is so
powerful.
My best friend, brian, hisparents, picked up a bunch of
real estate.
They're already, I think,getting close to 70s and they're
60s.
They started buying propertiesbefore COVID and I think
obviously COVID is an outlierevent, but still, I mean, I
don't know how much they'reworth right now in real estate,
but they have like probablynorth of $10 million in real
(13:13):
estate holdings and they Airbnbthem and they have positive
income coming in.
They're really building a lotof wealth through real estate.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
I think that's great, and it's not because I'm a
realtor or I love real estate ingeneral why I say that, but I
think that when you purchase aproperty, it's just like you
said if you just wait longenough, even if the property
value goes down, it will go backup.
And look at the crash of 2008,2009, where people were doing
(13:44):
some people had no choice, theyhad to do short sales.
They ended up in a situationwhere they were upside down.
But those people who were in asituation where they could
afford their mortgage and theycould hang in there, look at the
way the values of their homestripled, quadrupled, since then.
I mean that was just not toolong ago.
(14:06):
It really wasn't that long ago.
So the people who just held onto that property some of them
may have sold it in 2020 or 2021, or even if they sold it this
year I mean the value of thathome is just the amount of
equity they have is justastronomical.
And you just don't see thatwith you know, with much else.
(14:27):
I mean real estate is justyummy.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, yeah, and I said, I said earlier, covid it
was an isolated incident.
It's incident, obviously it was.
But if you look back through along enough time period, there's
always it seems like everydecade or so there's always some
catastrophic thing that happens, whether it was the 2008
collapse with the subprimelending and all that, or COVID.
(14:49):
So, given a long enough periodof time, that always seems to
happen.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yeah, it's a cycle, it's like this, it's like that.
And if it makes sense for youto hold onto that property and
if you're living in it and youcan afford it and you just
wanted to hang onto it, or youwant to rent it out because
passive income is really greatfor investors, you can.
There's so much that you can dowith that, so much is possible,
so that's what.
(15:17):
I love about real estate.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
So you speak to tons of people.
You do this full time for aliving.
What are some of the biggestmyths or misconceptions things
that you typically hear frompeople about the real estate
industry in general?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Well, it's not even a question.
That's really the biggest myththat I find, I think even though
I can think about it and comeup with some but I think the
biggest myth when it comes toreal estate and realtors is that
it's easy what we do.
That is the biggest myth.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
You just show up and you get your 3% right.
Yeah, yeah, that's what youknow they don't understand.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Most people don't understand how much it takes to
guide somebody through theprocess of buying or selling a
home and what it means for thatperson who's buying or selling
to have them safely go throughthat process.
A lot of people don't know itand that's why, according to the
National Association ofRealtors, the most litigation
(16:24):
between a buyer and a seller isusually when a buyer and a
seller are trying to do it in afor sale by owner situation,
where the seller is representingthemselves.
It's not because they weretrying to get one over on the
buyer or the buyer was trying toget one over on the seller.
It's just that they didn't knowwhat they didn't know and
(16:44):
because and because of that,they ended up in a situation
where it became litigious.
So I think that the biggestmistake is that, or the biggest
myth is that people think thatit's simple.
It's not simple.
It might not be that hard to getthe license at first.
You know you do your 62 hoursand you pass the test, you pass
(17:11):
the state exam, and then youhave to do a few more hours
after that, 18 months later orso.
But that's just to get you inthe possibility because you've
become a realtor or a licensedagent, but that's just.
That's just.
That's the very beginning ofwhat it takes.
(17:32):
So what my clients always sayto me is I even had lunch with a
client on Sunday and sheinvited two of her friends and
she said to her friends Tanyamade it so easy, she made it so
simple, and it's something thatcould be challenging.
And it's something that couldbe challenging, but if you do it
(17:52):
in a way that you understandwhat your clients' needs are how
to guide them, how to once youknow what they need, you know
how to guide them properly, andin doing so, that takes skill,
it takes knowledge and it takesexperience.
So that is the biggest mythno-transcript.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
everybody has their real estate license, but the
truth of the matter is like 70%I think the post said 70, and
who knows if it's accurate ornot but like 74% of people that
have their real estate licensesold like no homes in 2024 or
one home or something like that,and the ones that have sold
like more than 45% or like 0.14%or 0.014% of all realtors.
(18:57):
So there's a lot of people thatdo this as kind of like a side
hustle or a hobby, if you will,and there's very few that do it
professionally, to the pointwhere they do a lot of
transactions every year.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Actually you're right , and that is a statistic for
2024.
About 70% didn't sell one homein 2024.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, because it ain't easy right.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
You can't make a living that way.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Something you said I want to touch upon because I
think this is very important forlisteners to hear anybody
that's trying to sell theirhouse you mentioned for sale by
owner going at it alone.
Yeah, listeners to hear anybodythat's trying to sell their
house you mentioned for sale byowner, going at it alone.
Unless you have experience andI would say, even if you've had
experience now, there's stillemotion attached to that because
it's your house you need to gethelp with that process.
(19:43):
You're selling your house inmany cases for many, many
hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions of dollars.
It's probably one of thelargest transactions, if not for
many people, the largesttransaction that they're going
to undertake in their life.
And to think that you're goingto just do it on your own to
save the realtor fee and you'regoing to go about marketing it
and dealing with the contract.
You need a good real estatelawyer to make sure the
(20:05):
contract's good.
You need a good title company.
You need a good realtor.
You need a team that's going tohave your best interest at
heart to make sure that youdon't get into a legal situation
with somebody and have problemsalong the process thank you,
jeremy.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
I wish I could just take that.
In fact, I'll just take thatand you are that.
That is everything you justsaid is perfect.
It's like I I you know when,when, when someone is introduced
to me, I do predominantly mostof my business is by referral,
because my clients are happy,they refer and so on, and even
(20:39):
in say even though that's thecase.
When someone calls me, I saythe first thing we're going to
do is a consultation.
And they say why it's notnecessary?
I say it's absolutely necessary.
This is your biggest could be,like you just said, your biggest
investment of your life, and weneed to honor that.
We need to treat it with therespect that it deserves and you
(21:03):
need to understand what thisprocess is going to look like.
So we absolutely, without adoubt, have to have a
consultation, as we cannot moveforward.
And they are so shocked of whatthey learn inside of that
consultation.
All these questions come upbecause of what I'm sharing with
them and then they start torealize, oh, this is a big deal.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
So, yes, I'm sorry to cut you off.
It's not just a transaction.
No, I'm sorry to cut you off.
It's not just a transaction.
I mean it might seem like it ison its face, but it's an
unbelievably impactful andimportant life change for
someone.
Whether you're moving or buyingor selling your house, or even
if you're just buying investmentproperties, you really want to
have a good relationship and youwant to have a good team in
(21:47):
place, and the same rings truenot just for real estate.
I mean, I say this all the timewhen I interview all sorts of
professionals.
My dream situation is that Ihave a go-to professional in
every aspect, every trade, thatif I have a problem with
something, I don't have tostress out about going to Google
and reading reviews or askingfor referrals or going on
crowdsourcing on Facebook hey,does anybody know of anybody?
(22:07):
I want to go to my phone andknow I have John, who I've known
for 30 years, who I feelcomfortable, when I reach out to
John, that he's going to havemy best interest at heart and
he's going to take care of me.
It just takes so much pressureoff because I'm not an expert in
any of this shit.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
You know, I do what I do.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I want to have a team of experts around me in every
aspect, and it just makes mylife a lot less stressful
Absolutely.
Absolutely, and that makessense and that's why it our
(22:59):
biggest motivator is often ourfamily.
I mean, for me I have a10-year-old and a 12-year-old
and really is the driving forcebehind everything that I do, and
I know we talked briefly aboutthis when we spoke on the phone.
You have one child that'salready spread the wings.
They're grown and gone.
I think you mentioned they'rejust going into college, right?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
She's in her first semester, her first year, her
second semester of college.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
So tell everyone a little bit about your family.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Yeah, so thanks for asking that.
So my daughterira is, you knowI call her.
I say she's the love of my lifebecause, of course, when you
have a kid, everything changes.
Indeed, it does.
I'm very proud of her.
She's doing mechanicalengineering, that's her major
(23:52):
and she's doing really well.
Yeah, I told you that she gotall A's her first semester and
now she's God bless her soul.
Yeah, I was on the phone withher last night and I was asking
her about one of her classes andshe's like, yeah, I'm just
teaching myself that one,because what he's saying isn't
making sense to me, but I'mfiguring it out.
So I said so, how is everything?
(24:12):
She said fine, and that's all Ineed to hear.
She's she's got it figured outand I'm I'm really proud of her
for figuring it out.
And I said remember, you canreach out for help, there are
people there.
And she's like yeah, mom, Iknow I got it.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
So she's doing great and um.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
And then there's my mom, who is also I call her my
secret weapon on my team becauseeven though she does have a
real estate license and she doesrefer clients to me so that I
can serve them so she doesn't dothe day-to-day at all, but I
call her my secret weaponbecause whenever I have
(24:50):
something that I need to write,because I like to write so I
have a magazine that I and she'smy editor in my for for where
the portion of the magazine thatI write, she's also the person
whenever, like if there was anHOA issue and we have to write a
strongly worded letter oranything like that, she's my.
She's my bulldog.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I mean I'm sure she's great, but talk about secret
weapons Like have you met chatGPT Jeez.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
GPT is something that .
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I'm so lazy with it though, like I, ever since I
started using it, like literally, like I'll do, I'll be doing a
just just for like a podcast.
Right, if I have somebody comeon and I want to get some
questions together, you couldjust take the URL for their
website, throw it in there andsay, hey, I'm doing a podcast
and like, obviously it knows mepretty well by now because I've
been interacting with it.
It just spits out in twoseconds, crawls their website
(25:44):
and pulls out 15 poignantquestions I could ask.
It's such an unbelievableshortcut.
I remember I introduced my wifeis from Peru, so she speaks
English fluently, but it's stilla second language for her to
some degree and we havesometimes issues communicating
because of the language.
You know that, that it's mildlanguage barrier, so sometimes
she, we, we just can't, shecan't just get me right.
(26:05):
And then I introduced her tochat, like eight months ago,
maybe a year ago, and shestarted using it and she told me
she goes she goes, I think I'mgoing to leave you for chat.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
She gets me better than you ever have.
That's hysterical.
Yeah yeah, chat GPT is greatand my assistant uses a chat GPT
a lot for some of the stuffthat we're doing.
We've even created a clone ofTanya so that we so she asks it
stuff to as Tanya you know, sowhen we're pulling up stuff we
can use it sounds like Tanya andthen we take that information
(26:44):
and help with whatever it iswe're going to send out.
It sounds a lot like me andthen I put my tweak on it.
So it's very good, a very goodsupport, this chat gpt I haven't
, I haven't heard of cloningmyself.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
I think I think one of me is quite enough.
I don't know if we want toclone myself well, it's just
having chat.
Gpt ask questions like you,like jeremy, would I know so,
tanya, I don't even know ifwe've ever talked about this in
us just chatting.
Maybe we have, maybe we haven't.
What do you do for fun whenyou're not out there helping
(27:18):
people find their dream home andpurchase investment properties
and the real estate game?
What do you do for fun in yourdowntime?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Well, I like to read a lot.
And I find that to be a lot offun.
So I do a lot of reading andalso I like to hang out with my
significant other.
We we tend to.
We travel a little bit, go tothe Bahamas quite sometimes I
have a condo there, so we likegoing to the Bahamas, to
(27:47):
Freeport.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Condo in the Bahamas.
I'll wait for my invitation toFreeport.
Condo in the.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Bahamas.
I'll wait for my invitation.
Yeah, it's right on the beach,it's beautiful, it's gorgeous
actually there, and I love.
You know, sometimes I likegoing to try out different
restaurants because I like toeat I tend to, even though I'm
very health conscious.
I'm always finding somewherethat's really good to check out.
When COVID came, I reallydiscovered St Augustine.
(28:19):
I like going there, sometimesbecause we couldn't travel far,
so we started to like go withinFlorida and that was really cool
, you know, going to Palm Bay,going to St Augustine, going to
Anna Maria Island, so I likedoing things like that.
And I love to dance, so that'salso another thing.
(28:40):
And and I like working out, but, um, it's nothing, you know, I
like, uh, lately I've been justdoing a lot of walking.
Um, yoga is my biggestchallenge, so I've been doing
that.
I like to be challenged.
Yeah, I don't consider myself aflexible person, so my mom is,
and she helps me a lot with thattoo.
(29:01):
So those are some of the thingsthat I love to do.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
That's one of my bug aboos is the stretching.
I'm a runner now.
I run a lot but I have a hardtime.
I'm always stiff and stretchingis always tough Before I go to
sleep.
I try my best to stretch for alittle while and I recently I
had never really done yoga and Irecently did one and it was
great.
And I said to myself during theyoga I got to do this more
often.
I haven't been back.
It's just like anything elselife happens.
So thank you for bringing thatto my attention again.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
The yoga is on my mind.
It's really really important.
People think it's really reallyimportant.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
People think it's easy, but it is.
Oh, it's not easy, it's brutal,especially the hot yoga, where
you're going to the sweatfactory and the oh my gosh, it's
challenging.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Yes, go back, jeremy, go back.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Speaking of challenges, I always ask this
question when I have a guest onthe show and I think this says a
lot about a person Looking backthrough your journey.
This says a lot about a personlooking back through your
journey.
I want you to talk about a lifehardship or a challenge,
because one of the things thatI've learned throughout my life
as I've gotten older, is thatthe difficult times, as as
(30:05):
horrible as they seem whenyou're going through them, are
often the things that shape usthe most.
And it's it's all good and wellto have fun experiences and all
that, but those, you know.
I'm talking about thoseexperiences where, when you're
going through it, it feels likethe end of the world, it feels
like you're, it just feels likeeverything's ending and you
(30:26):
don't know how you're going toget through it.
But then you get through it andyou look back at that
experience.
I mean, man, am I part of thefrench grateful for having
experienced that thing?
Because I wouldn't be where I'mat today without going through
that experience.
What comes to mind for youthroughout your journey?
That fits that bill.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Well, as you asked that question, the first thing
that came to mind was actuallywhen my father had cancer in
2012.
It was challenging because mydaddy was in Jamaica, which is
where I'm from, and I was hereand it was.
(31:06):
You know, that wasn't the bestof times where real estate was
concerned, because I had youknow we were dealing with.
Of course, we had the crash andall of that stuff, but I wasn't
doing that well, I had to bedealing with being a single mom,
(31:30):
taking care of making sure mydaughter was taken care of as
well as making sure that I wastaking care of my father in
Jamaica.
So it was really challenging.
I had to be going back andforth.
I hired somebody who I ended uphaving staying with him full
time and while that washappening, I was trying to make
(31:50):
a living and the emotions of itright, and that started actually
the tough part of what hisjourney started in 2010-11.
So then, unfortunately, in 20122012 my father passed away and
that in you know.
So just imagine those emotionstrying to make sure that I build
(32:14):
, you know, my business in a waythat I could and dealing with
my father passing.
So I'm not glad, obviously,that my father was sick and that
he passed away.
But what I am happy about isthat I just remember the day
that sick and that he passedaway.
But what I am happy about isthat I just remember the day
that I heard that he passed.
I was literally at a closing sothe phone rang.
(32:36):
My mom called me.
I picked up the phone and shesaid where are you?
And I just knew, you know, and,um, I stepped out and I'll
never forget who I was with atthe closing because she knew
something was wrong and she saidto me what's wrong.
And I told her and she she hadgone through that with her own
father.
So I was with the right peopleat the right time when that
(32:58):
happened.
And when that happened I wasdepleted, obviously, and then I
had to go through the motions ofhelping, you know, go through
planning a funeral and all ofthat.
But after that, wow, I cameback and I just knew that I
wanted to make my father proudand I knew that, having him the
(33:21):
influence that he was in my life, it just was with me.
And it was just so weird,jeremy, the following year it
was like I just soared, you know, and it was because I had, you
know, gone through thatexperience.
But also I just felt myfather's presence every minute
of the way and I felt him.
(33:42):
They say sometimes you can feelyour loved ones.
In technologies, weird stuffused to happen where I just knew
that he was championing me onand that was a tough time for me
, but I'll never.
I appreciate that journey.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
That's the word I was looking for.
I was actually.
I had a thought and I lost thetrain of thought.
I've never experienced the lossI've experienced like the death
of a grandparent.
I've never had aside from mydog getting hit by a car I've
never had a human being reallyreally close to me pass away.
So I haven't experienced it.
But I could imagine that, havinggone through that experience,
(34:22):
that it must give you such anunbelievably deep appreciation
for life and for the time thatwe have left.
So obviously the loss of aparent or a loved one is
horrible, but it really justputs things into perspective
about how fleeting time is andhow important it is to not get
caught up with all the bullshit,all the stress and all the
(34:44):
negative emotions and allow itto skew your judgment and just,
yeah, you're going to havenegative emotions and you're
gonna have thoughts that pop up.
Feel it Right, but let it goaway Absolutely.
Just approach everything.
The older I get, the more I tryto bring patience, love,
empathy, understanding all thesethings to every situation, like
(35:05):
nothing good ever comes fromconflict.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Absolutely.
I agree, 100%, and that'sreally how I live my life,
because I realized that all ofthat energy that you put into
being angry, into just notreally having that good energy
go out to others, that's whatdepletes you the anger, the
(35:32):
upset, the not realizing howimportant life is like every
single day, you know.
That's why I practice gratitudeevery morning with my gratitude
journal and really connecting.
I have to start my day withgratitude and connecting to that
source that I call God and thenmy day can begin, because
(35:57):
that's what's important.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Grateful, so very grateful.
I had another thought and itevaded me, so maybe it'll come
back, maybe it won't.
I had another thought and itevaded me, so maybe it'll come
back, maybe it won't.
What would be one thing thatyou'd like to leave our
listeners with?
It could be about your business, if you want to leave a little
plug for the business, it couldbe just something about life in
(36:21):
general, a little piece ofwisdom.
I'll give you one thing Tanyawhat do you?
Speaker 3 (36:29):
got.
Wow, okay, I think that the onething that comes to mind is
that authenticity is reallyimportant.
Yeah, authenticity is the keyto even inside of this
conversation I'm you know youbring your authentic self.
(36:52):
You bring your authentic self,whether it be to your loved ones
or to the people who are inyour, who you're working with as
clients.
I think that is the number onekey to having people really get
who you are people understandingthat they've been gotten in
(37:15):
terms of you understanding them,because people want to be seen,
people want to be heard, andvulnerability is not a negative
word.
Vulnerability is actually thekey to authentic communication,
and I think that a lot of peoplefeel like they have to be
something else, especially withsocial media and all of these
(37:35):
things.
They have to be something elsethat they're not.
But at the end of the day, whenyou bring your real self, who
you truly are, to whatever it isyou're doing, that's when magic
happens.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Well said.
I love you touching uponauthenticity.
It's something that I try mybest to strive for, and we all
put on masks and in differentinteractions.
But what I've come to learn isthat when you do that, you're
ultimately surrounding yourselfwith people that don't reflect
who you are as a genuine person,and you're not going to be
(38:08):
happy.
But if you just act as yourauthentic self, you're going to
attract people that appreciateyou for who you are and you're
going to feel comfortable inyour own skin.
And, like you said, that's whenthe magic starts happening.
That's when you get to trulyunlock your inner creativity.
So many people I'm myself sayingthis all the time so many
people live their whole lifewithout tapping into their inner
(38:29):
potential, their potential forgreatness, and I think every
human being has within themsomething that they could offer
this world that's unique andbeautiful and unfortunately,
everybody gets caught up in therat race and we're miserable all
the time and you live yourwhole life without accessing
that and I'm so grateful forstarting to tap into that at
this stage of my life.
(38:49):
At four I just turned 45.
And it just the perspective hasgone from like oh, I'm halfway
through my life to like, hey,I'm just starting my life.
This is where all the magicreally is truly gonna happen,
and I'm so grateful for it.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Absolutely, and that time, that if you choose to
spend time reflecting that'swhat I do first thing in the
morning and I told you aboutthat Then you actually will
become clear about who yourauthentic self is.
Because that's where you mightthink you are going this way and
you might think this is whatyou are supposed to be doing,
(39:28):
think this is what you weresupposed to be doing.
But once you take that time tobe present and be in the silence
, that's when you really areclear on who you are and what
you ought to be up to.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
Yes, just sitting with the emotions.
I had a conversation with mywife the other day and we were
walking the dogs and oftenshe'll want to explain how she's
feeling She'll want to, andoften she'll want to explain how
she's feeling She'll want tovent her frustrations.
Many times it's with mybehaviors and I find myself, as
she's talking, like wanting todefend myself, like I find
(39:56):
myself like my blood boiling andI'm just wanting to correct her
.
And she told me before theconversation and she said please
, I need you not to say anythingand just sit with everything.
I tell you.
So just don't say anything,just listen to me.
And she's going through and Iforcibly restrained myself from
saying anything and I sat withit and I reflected upon it and
what I realized was that therewas quite a bit of what she was
(40:19):
telling me in there that wasdirectly related to things that
I need to work on myself, that Idon't want to work on because
it's uncomfortable, it's painful, and so my natural defense
mechanism to that was to getdefensive and to cut her off.
But because she told me, don'tdo that, just sit with it, it
really hit home and I came outof that experience with like
(40:40):
some incredibly deep insights.
And then I went back later whenI was kind of calmed down and
addressed some of the things inthere that I thought were needed
to be addressed with her.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Yeah, that's great.
I mean, when people feel heardand you know they really feel
heard, it makes a difference andyou really.
It might have been difficultbut you ended up doing what she
asked you to do and then shefelt hurt, you know, yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
It was a win-win ultimately.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
Totally, and you discovered things about yourself
.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Yep, okay.
So for anyone out there that'slistening, whether you're in the
market to buy your first home,maybe you're an investor.

Welcome to the Good NeighborPodcast.

Our guest, Tanya Cunningham.
I actually met her.
What was it, tanya?
Maybe like two years ago I wasinvited to a BNI group and we
met each other through there andwe've kind of stayed in touch,
but infrequently.
(00:32):
And the other day it was mybirthday and she was nice enough

we reconnected and I said,tanya, you're a realtor, you're
very active in the communityhere.

Speaker 3 (00:55):

I am looking forward to gettinginto this with you.
Thank you, jeremy, and thankyou so much for inviting me.
I really appreciate it and,yeah, it's great that we
reconnected.
We stay a little connectedevery year, but it was great to
just chat with you last week andnow, all of a sudden, here we
are, so thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Here we are making it happen in 2025.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So let's start off by .
I've had so many realtors onthe show and obviously everybody
knows what a realtor does, butevery realtor is different and
everyone brings a differentelement to the equation.
So start there.
Tell us a little bit about yourbusiness and then we'll get
into your journey that led youinto being a realtor in the
(01:38):
first place.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yeah, so thank you for that question.
I'm a residential realtor andthat just means that I help
people who are looking to buy orsell a home.
That's for, you know, living in, but it could be an investment,
but it also could be for theirprimary use to live in that
house.
And the majority of my clientseven though I do have investors
(02:01):
are clients who want to buy ahome to live in or they need to
sell it and um, and my journey,the part of it that makes it
interesting is that everybody isdifferent.
Everybody has a reason for whythey want to buy or sell a home.
It's never the same and it'sabout just understanding that
(02:22):
clearly so that I can help myclients reach their goals and
dreams.
And what I've found over theyears is that the clients that
work with me and what they feelwhen they're working with me, is
that I eliminate the fear, theanxiety, the stress, whether
it's me or a team member.
We eliminate those fears, thatanxiety, that stress, um in in
(02:47):
buying or selling a home,because there's a lot that's
involved.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So you mentioned you specialize in residential sales.
Are you servicing primarily theSouth Florida market?
Like where do you spend whatarea?
I know obviously realtors.
You're not necessarily going toturn away business.
You get somebody that needshelp somewhere, you're going to
try your best to help them.
But generally speaking, youhave your pulse on certain areas
.
Where are your typical areas ofspecialties?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah my specialty?
That's a good question, andBroward County is really where I
call it my wheelhouse.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
That's your stomping ground.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Yeah, and a little bit of Palm Beach County and a
little bit of Dade County, butyou'll see that the majority of
what I do is in Broward Countyand then, when I'm like you said
, a lot of people will be askedfor help and it might not be in
the area where I am for help andit might not be in the area
(03:48):
where I am, but the good news isthat I have realtor partners
all over the South Florida, allover the country, who I can lean
into whenever a client needshelp.
So I always tell my clients andthe people that I know if it's
somewhere, if you need help,let's start.
You can ask me and I'll guideyou because I'll be able to
connect you with someone if I'mnot able to do it.
Yeah, I wanted to ask you aboutthat.
You can ask me and I'll guideyou because I'll be able to
connect you with someone if I'mnot able to do it.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah, I wanted to ask you about that.
You speak in with many realtors.
You'll have a realtor that manycases works through a broker.
You have some that are brokersthemselves.
Then you have some that workthrough a broker but create
their own teams and I know youhave your own group, tanya Homes
Group.
Is that through a largerbrokerage?
Are you your own broker?
How does that process work foryou and your business?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, it's interesting when you become a
realtor, because after youbecome a realtor you can make
some choices and decisions thatare best for you.
So in my case, I've been arealtor for I always say more
than 15 years, but it's reallymore than 20.
I just don't date myself, butso once.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
So wait.
So you started being a realtorwhen you were 10?
.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah, I was 10.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Ah see, flattery will get me everywhere.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yes, it will, jeremy.
So once you have a few yearsunder your belt, you can choose
to become a broker, and then youhave to go ahead and get that
licensing and that's a processjust like it was to get your
real estate license.
So I did do that a couple ofyears ago actually, and now I'm
(05:19):
what's called a broker associate, and a broker associate is
someone who chooses to taketheir broker's license and hang
it with another brokerage.
So they, so my, so my.
My license is with a largerbrokerage which is lpt Realty,
and lpt Realty is the brokeragethat I have my license with, and
(05:39):
my team is know, I have a smallteam, so my team is a part of
Tanya, me being a realtor, mebeing a broker associate but
whoever works with me also is arealtor as well.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
So is the goal to be if you're a broker associate, is
the goal to be a full-on brokeror is there some function, is
there some like utility instaying as a broker associate
through the larger brokerage?
I'm trying to understand thatdynamic Sure and I want to make
it clear.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I can at any time choose to be a broker on my own
and not hang my license with abrokerage.
I've just chosen over the yearsthat I really love being with a
larger brokerage because of thetools, because of how I can
serve my clients.
I like to have the ability tohave whoever is working with me
(06:31):
even get more training.
All of that is possible whenyou're with a larger brokerage
if you choose the right one, andLPT Realty is a great brokerage
for me to hang my license with.
So at any point in time, if Ichose to because I'm a broker, I
can also go ahead and have myJust Be Tanya Homes group at the
(06:52):
brokerage and not even have mylicense with another brokerage.
As a realtor, you don't havethat option.
As a realtor or a salesassociate, what you have to do
is always have your last licensewith another brokerage.
But I have the option and Ichoose to be with a larger
brokerage because it'sbeneficial not only to me
(07:15):
whoever is working with me on myteam, it's also beneficial to
the client.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I want to ask you every time I have a realtor on
the podcast, I actually haven't.
I can't say I've had onerecently, maybe a couple of
months ago but I always ask topull out your crystal ball.
We're going to do crystal balltime right, like we're coming
off.
Post COVID was a crazy boom.
It was a hot topic, prices weresoaring and then obviously
(07:43):
everything kind of flattened outand it's not really on the
radar right now.
I don't hear nearly as muchabout real estate right now.
Talk a little bit about thestate of the market right now
here in South Florida, likewhat's going on with home values
, interest rates, the wholeclimate of the real estate
market, and then again pull outthat crystal ball and look 12
months out, maybe this time in2026, where do you see us?
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Okay, wow, that's a great one because it's been such
a roller coaster lately.
It's been very interesting.
In fact, 2024 and 2023, we hadthe lowest sales in the country
of homes since 1995.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So the inventory was gone because everything sold
like a fire sale after COVID,yeah Well it was, inventory was
low in some instances, but alsopeople.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
There are a lot of people that halted on purchasing
because, if you remember,interest rates were really
excellent.
Uh, around 2022, 2021, we hadsome really 2020 even, I mean we
had.
We were coming off many, manyyears of great interest rates
and then covid really added tothat where it just you saw
(09:00):
people having 2.5 interest rates, cheap money, we love cheap
money it was, it was, it wasamazing.
So that's what that frenzy wasabout.
I mean, you would literallyhave 30, 40 offers on one
property, with no joke, where aseller could just sit back and
just salivate over what waspossible.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
It really was crazy.
I'm looking back.
I sold my house right whenthings started going crazy and I
remember looking at comps whenwe listed it and it was like,
okay, this is the right price.
And it sold.
And literally two or threeweeks after the market had
adjusted probably 20%, 25% therewas comparable sales that I
(09:47):
looked at.
I was like, excuse me, whathappened?
I was like traumatized by thatexperience.
For like months after the saleof the house I would drive
around Like every time I saw ahouse listed I wouldn't want to
look at it to see the pricebecause I felt like I got such a
low value for my home.
But everything typicallyhappens for a reason and I'm
(10:10):
glad that I went through thatprocess and it, it, uh, it
taught me a lot about all thisstuff and you really can't ever
time the market, right?
People say, oh, time the market, you'll drive yourself
absolutely crazy, right?
I'll ask you this question when?
When is the right?
When is the right time to buy?
Tanya?
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Well, I always say now is the right time to buy,
and the reason why I say that isbecause, especially even where
we are right now, it might bethat there isn't a lot of
inventory and people might bethinking, okay, I just need to
wait.
People talk about they'rewaiting for a crash to happen,
all of those things that they'reexpecting, but the truth of the
(10:42):
matter is that the prices ofhomes will continue to increase
over time.
So if you're looking to buy andyou're waiting for interest
rates to drop, the interest ratecould drop, but the price of
the home would most likelyincrease and that wait that you
were waiting for it didn't makesense because the cost of
waiting is really.
(11:02):
It doesn't work out for theconsumer.
So when it's about buying ahome, we always say and I always
say that based on my experienceif it is the right time for you
, if it's the right time for you, if everything is where you not
only need to buy a home, butit's the right circumstances,
(11:26):
don't wait, Because if, forinstance, interest rates are
higher than you would like themto be, then of course you can
refinance when interest rates godown.
But instead of waiting for theinterest rates to go down.
You're looking at thepossibility, most likely, of the
prices going up and then itwouldn't be worth the wait.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
There is no time like the present, and especially if
you're looking for your home,right, the house you're going to
live in, maybe your foreverhome.
Yeah, the right time is whenyou're ready, like when you made
the decision to buy a house andyou find the house that you
fall in love with and the restwill just fall into place,
because if you own that houselong enough, like you said, it's
going to appreciate over time.
(12:07):
And then, if you're from theother lens of picking up
investment properties, what I'vefound from my experience is
that if you could just make surethat you're having some monthly
income from that property, someprofit above your mortgage and
your expenses, and you just havesome positive cashflow coming
in, if you own that property forlong enough, you're going to
(12:29):
accumulate so much equity I meantalk about like a secure
retirement plan.
I said this many years ago andI didn't stick to it.
When I was younger I wanted topick up like a property a year,
starting in my twenties so thatwhen I was 50, I owned a
portfolio of 20, 30 propertiesand you're good for retirement.
Haven't quite gotten there yet,but it's been on my radar now
(12:51):
and I'm actively looking for newopportunities because it is so
powerful.
My best friend, brian, hisparents, picked up a bunch of
real estate.
They're already, I think,getting close to 70s and they're
60s.
They started buying propertiesbefore COVID and I think
obviously COVID is an outlierevent, but still, I mean, I
don't know how much they'reworth right now in real estate,
but they have like probablynorth of $10 million in real
(13:13):
estate holdings and they Airbnbthem and they have positive
income coming in.
They're really building a lotof wealth through real estate.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
I think that's great, and it's not because I'm a
realtor or I love real estate ingeneral why I say that, but I
think that when you purchase aproperty, it's just like you
said if you just wait longenough, even if the property
value goes down, it will go backup.
And look at the crash of 2008,2009, where people were doing
(13:44):
some people had no choice, theyhad to do short sales.
They ended up in a situationwhere they were upside down.
But those people who were in asituation where they could
afford their mortgage and theycould hang in there, look at the
way the values of their homestripled, quadrupled, since then.
I mean that was just not toolong ago.
(14:06):
It really wasn't that long ago.
So the people who just held onto that property some of them
may have sold it in 2020 or 2021, or even if they sold it this
year I mean the value of thathome is just the amount of
equity they have is justastronomical.
And you just don't see thatwith you know, with much else.
(14:27):
I mean real estate is justyummy.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Yeah, yeah, and I said, I said earlier, covid it
was an isolated incident.
It's incident, obviously it was.
But if you look back through along enough time period, there's
always it seems like everydecade or so there's always some
catastrophic thing that happens, whether it was the 2008
collapse with the subprimelending and all that, or COVID.
(14:49):
So, given a long enough periodof time, that always seems to
happen.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yeah, it's a cycle, it's like this, it's like that.
And if it makes sense for youto hold onto that property and
if you're living in it and youcan afford it and you just
wanted to hang onto it, or youwant to rent it out because
passive income is really greatfor investors, you can.
There's so much that you can dowith that, so much is possible,
so that's what.
(15:17):
I love about real estate.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
So you speak to tons of people.
You do this full time for aliving.
What are some of the biggestmyths or misconceptions things
that you typically hear frompeople about the real estate
industry in general?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Well, it's not even a question.
That's really the biggest myththat I find, I think even though
I can think about it and comeup with some but I think the
biggest myth when it comes toreal estate and realtors is that
it's easy what we do.
That is the biggest myth.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
You just show up and you get your 3% right.
Yeah, yeah, that's what youknow they don't understand.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Most people don't understand how much it takes to
guide somebody through theprocess of buying or selling a
home and what it means for thatperson who's buying or selling
to have them safely go throughthat process.
A lot of people don't know itand that's why, according to the
National Association ofRealtors, the most litigation
(16:24):
between a buyer and a seller isusually when a buyer and a
seller are trying to do it in afor sale by owner situation,
where the seller is representingthemselves.
It's not because they weretrying to get one over on the
buyer or the buyer was trying toget one over on the seller.
It's just that they didn't knowwhat they didn't know and
(16:44):
because and because of that,they ended up in a situation
where it became litigious.
So I think that the biggestmistake is that, or the biggest
myth is that people think thatit's simple.
It's not simple.
It might not be that hard to getthe license at first.
You know you do your 62 hoursand you pass the test, you pass
(17:11):
the state exam, and then youhave to do a few more hours
after that, 18 months later orso.
But that's just to get you inthe possibility because you've
become a realtor or a licensedagent, but that's just.
That's just.
That's the very beginning ofwhat it takes.
(17:32):
So what my clients always sayto me is I even had lunch with a
client on Sunday and sheinvited two of her friends and
she said to her friends Tanyamade it so easy, she made it so
simple, and it's something thatcould be challenging.
And it's something that couldbe challenging, but if you do it
(17:52):
in a way that you understandwhat your clients' needs are how
to guide them, how to once youknow what they need, you know
how to guide them properly, andin doing so, that takes skill,
it takes knowledge and it takesexperience.
So that is the biggest mythno-transcript.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
everybody has their real estate license, but the
truth of the matter is like 70%I think the post said 70, and
who knows if it's accurate ornot but like 74% of people that
have their real estate licensesold like no homes in 2024 or
one home or something like that,and the ones that have sold
like more than 45% or like 0.14%or 0.014% of all realtors.
(18:57):
So there's a lot of people thatdo this as kind of like a side
hustle or a hobby, if you will,and there's very few that do it
professionally, to the pointwhere they do a lot of
transactions every year.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Actually you're right , and that is a statistic for
2024.
About 70% didn't sell one homein 2024.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, because it ain't easy right.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
You can't make a living that way.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Something you said I want to touch upon because I
think this is very important forlisteners to hear anybody
that's trying to sell theirhouse you mentioned for sale by
owner going at it alone.
Yeah, listeners to hear anybodythat's trying to sell their
house you mentioned for sale byowner, going at it alone.
Unless you have experience andI would say, even if you've had
experience now, there's stillemotion attached to that because
it's your house you need to gethelp with that process.
(19:43):
You're selling your house inmany cases for many, many
hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions of dollars.
It's probably one of thelargest transactions, if not for
many people, the largesttransaction that they're going
to undertake in their life.
And to think that you're goingto just do it on your own to
save the realtor fee and you'regoing to go about marketing it
and dealing with the contract.
You need a good real estatelawyer to make sure the
(20:05):
contract's good.
You need a good title company.
You need a good realtor.
You need a team that's going tohave your best interest at
heart to make sure that youdon't get into a legal situation
with somebody and have problemsalong the process thank you,
jeremy.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
I wish I could just take that.
In fact, I'll just take thatand you are that.
That is everything you justsaid is perfect.
It's like I I you know when,when, when someone is introduced
to me, I do predominantly mostof my business is by referral,
because my clients are happy,they refer and so on, and even
(20:39):
in say even though that's thecase.
When someone calls me, I saythe first thing we're going to
do is a consultation.
And they say why it's notnecessary?
I say it's absolutely necessary.
This is your biggest could be,like you just said, your biggest
investment of your life, and weneed to honor that.
We need to treat it with therespect that it deserves and you
(21:03):
need to understand what thisprocess is going to look like.
So we absolutely, without adoubt, have to have a
consultation, as we cannot moveforward.
And they are so shocked of whatthey learn inside of that
consultation.
All these questions come upbecause of what I'm sharing with
them and then they start torealize, oh, this is a big deal.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
So, yes, I'm sorry to cut you off.
It's not just a transaction.
No, I'm sorry to cut you off.
It's not just a transaction.
I mean it might seem like it ison its face, but it's an
unbelievably impactful andimportant life change for
someone.
Whether you're moving or buyingor selling your house, or even
if you're just buying investmentproperties, you really want to
have a good relationship and youwant to have a good team in
(21:47):
place, and the same rings truenot just for real estate.
I mean, I say this all the timewhen I interview all sorts of
professionals.
My dream situation is that Ihave a go-to professional in
every aspect, every trade, thatif I have a problem with
something, I don't have tostress out about going to Google
and reading reviews or askingfor referrals or going on
crowdsourcing on Facebook hey,does anybody know of anybody?
(22:07):
I want to go to my phone andknow I have John, who I've known
for 30 years, who I feelcomfortable, when I reach out to
John, that he's going to havemy best interest at heart and
he's going to take care of me.
It just takes so much pressureoff because I'm not an expert in
any of this shit.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
You know, I do what I do.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I want to have a team of experts around me in every
aspect, and it just makes mylife a lot less stressful
Absolutely.
Absolutely, and that makessense and that's why it our
(22:59):
biggest motivator is often ourfamily.
I mean, for me I have a10-year-old and a 12-year-old
and really is the driving forcebehind everything that I do, and
I know we talked briefly aboutthis when we spoke on the phone.
You have one child that'salready spread the wings.
They're grown and gone.
I think you mentioned they'rejust going into college, right?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
She's in her first semester, her first year, her
second semester of college.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
So tell everyone a little bit about your family.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Yeah, so thanks for asking that.
So my daughterira is, you knowI call her.
I say she's the love of my lifebecause, of course, when you
have a kid, everything changes.
Indeed, it does.
I'm very proud of her.
She's doing mechanicalengineering, that's her major
(23:52):
and she's doing really well.
Yeah, I told you that she gotall A's her first semester and
now she's God bless her soul.
Yeah, I was on the phone withher last night and I was asking
her about one of her classes andshe's like, yeah, I'm just
teaching myself that one,because what he's saying isn't
making sense to me, but I'mfiguring it out.
So I said so, how is everything?
(24:12):
She said fine, and that's all Ineed to hear.
She's she's got it figured outand I'm I'm really proud of her
for figuring it out.
And I said remember, you canreach out for help, there are
people there.
And she's like yeah, mom, Iknow I got it.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
So she's doing great and um.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
And then there's my mom, who is also I call her my
secret weapon on my team becauseeven though she does have a
real estate license and she doesrefer clients to me so that I
can serve them so she doesn't dothe day-to-day at all, but I
call her my secret weaponbecause whenever I have
(24:50):
something that I need to write,because I like to write so I
have a magazine that I and she'smy editor in my for for where
the portion of the magazine thatI write, she's also the person
whenever, like if there was anHOA issue and we have to write a
strongly worded letter oranything like that, she's my.
She's my bulldog.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I mean I'm sure she's great, but talk about secret
weapons Like have you met chatGPT Jeez.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
GPT is something that .
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I'm so lazy with it though, like I, ever since I
started using it, like literally, like I'll do, I'll be doing a
just just for like a podcast.
Right, if I have somebody comeon and I want to get some
questions together, you couldjust take the URL for their
website, throw it in there andsay, hey, I'm doing a podcast
and like, obviously it knows mepretty well by now because I've
been interacting with it.
It just spits out in twoseconds, crawls their website
(25:44):
and pulls out 15 poignantquestions I could ask.
It's such an unbelievableshortcut.
I remember I introduced my wifeis from Peru, so she speaks
English fluently, but it's stilla second language for her to
some degree and we havesometimes issues communicating
because of the language.
You know that, that it's mildlanguage barrier, so sometimes
she, we, we just can't, shecan't just get me right.
(26:05):
And then I introduced her tochat, like eight months ago,
maybe a year ago, and shestarted using it and she told me
she goes she goes, I think I'mgoing to leave you for chat.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
She gets me better than you ever have.
That's hysterical.
Yeah yeah, chat GPT is greatand my assistant uses a chat GPT
a lot for some of the stuffthat we're doing.
We've even created a clone ofTanya so that we so she asks it
stuff to as Tanya you know, sowhen we're pulling up stuff we
can use it sounds like Tanya andthen we take that information
(26:44):
and help with whatever it iswe're going to send out.
It sounds a lot like me andthen I put my tweak on it.
So it's very good, a very goodsupport, this chat gpt I haven't
, I haven't heard of cloningmyself.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
I think I think one of me is quite enough.
I don't know if we want toclone myself well, it's just
having chat.
Gpt ask questions like you,like jeremy, would I know so,
tanya, I don't even know ifwe've ever talked about this in
us just chatting.
Maybe we have, maybe we haven't.
What do you do for fun whenyou're not out there helping
(27:18):
people find their dream home andpurchase investment properties
and the real estate game?
What do you do for fun in yourdowntime?
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Well, I like to read a lot.
And I find that to be a lot offun.
So I do a lot of reading andalso I like to hang out with my
significant other.
We we tend to.
We travel a little bit, go tothe Bahamas quite sometimes I
have a condo there, so we likegoing to the Bahamas, to
(27:47):
Freeport.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Condo in the Bahamas.
I'll wait for my invitation toFreeport.
Condo in the.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Bahamas.
I'll wait for my invitation.
Yeah, it's right on the beach,it's beautiful, it's gorgeous
actually there, and I love.
You know, sometimes I likegoing to try out different
restaurants because I like toeat I tend to, even though I'm
very health conscious.
I'm always finding somewherethat's really good to check out.
When COVID came, I reallydiscovered St Augustine.
(28:19):
I like going there, sometimesbecause we couldn't travel far,
so we started to like go withinFlorida and that was really cool
, you know, going to Palm Bay,going to St Augustine, going to
Anna Maria Island, so I likedoing things like that.
And I love to dance, so that'salso another thing.
(28:40):
And and I like working out, but, um, it's nothing, you know, I
like, uh, lately I've been justdoing a lot of walking.
Um, yoga is my biggestchallenge, so I've been doing
that.
I like to be challenged.
Yeah, I don't consider myself aflexible person, so my mom is,
and she helps me a lot with thattoo.
(29:01):
So those are some of the thingsthat I love to do.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
That's one of my bug aboos is the stretching.
I'm a runner now.
I run a lot but I have a hardtime.
I'm always stiff and stretchingis always tough Before I go to
sleep.
I try my best to stretch for alittle while and I recently I
had never really done yoga and Irecently did one and it was
great.
And I said to myself during theyoga I got to do this more
often.
I haven't been back.
It's just like anything elselife happens.
So thank you for bringing thatto my attention again.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
The yoga is on my mind.
It's really really important.
People think it's really reallyimportant.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
People think it's easy, but it is.
Oh, it's not easy, it's brutal,especially the hot yoga, where
you're going to the sweatfactory and the oh my gosh, it's
challenging.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
Yes, go back, jeremy, go back.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Speaking of challenges, I always ask this
question when I have a guest onthe show and I think this says a
lot about a person Looking backthrough your journey.
This says a lot about a personlooking back through your
journey.
I want you to talk about a lifehardship or a challenge,
because one of the things thatI've learned throughout my life
as I've gotten older, is thatthe difficult times, as as
(30:05):
horrible as they seem whenyou're going through them, are
often the things that shape usthe most.
And it's it's all good and wellto have fun experiences and all
that, but those, you know.
I'm talking about thoseexperiences where, when you're
going through it, it feels likethe end of the world, it feels
like you're, it just feels likeeverything's ending and you
(30:26):
don't know how you're going toget through it.
But then you get through it andyou look back at that
experience.
I mean, man, am I part of thefrench grateful for having
experienced that thing?
Because I wouldn't be where I'mat today without going through
that experience.
What comes to mind for youthroughout your journey?
That fits that bill.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Well, as you asked that question, the first thing
that came to mind was actuallywhen my father had cancer in
2012.
It was challenging because mydaddy was in Jamaica, which is
where I'm from, and I was hereand it was.
(31:06):
You know, that wasn't the bestof times where real estate was
concerned, because I had youknow we were dealing with.
Of course, we had the crash andall of that stuff, but I wasn't
doing that well, I had to bedealing with being a single mom,
(31:30):
taking care of making sure mydaughter was taken care of as
well as making sure that I wastaking care of my father in
Jamaica.
So it was really challenging.
I had to be going back andforth.
I hired somebody who I ended uphaving staying with him full
time and while that washappening, I was trying to make
(31:50):
a living and the emotions of itright, and that started actually
the tough part of what hisjourney started in 2010-11.
So then, unfortunately, in 20122012 my father passed away and
that in you know.
So just imagine those emotionstrying to make sure that I build
(32:14):
, you know, my business in a waythat I could and dealing with
my father passing.
So I'm not glad, obviously,that my father was sick and that
he passed away.
But what I am happy about isthat I just remember the day
that sick and that he passedaway.
But what I am happy about isthat I just remember the day
that I heard that he passed.
I was literally at a closing sothe phone rang.
(32:36):
My mom called me.
I picked up the phone and shesaid where are you?
And I just knew, you know, and,um, I stepped out and I'll
never forget who I was with atthe closing because she knew
something was wrong and she saidto me what's wrong.
And I told her and she she hadgone through that with her own
father.
So I was with the right peopleat the right time when that
(32:58):
happened.
And when that happened I wasdepleted, obviously, and then I
had to go through the motions ofhelping, you know, go through
planning a funeral and all ofthat.
But after that, wow, I cameback and I just knew that I
wanted to make my father proudand I knew that, having him the
(33:21):
influence that he was in my life, it just was with me.
And it was just so weird,jeremy, the following year it
was like I just soared, you know, and it was because I had, you
know, gone through thatexperience.
But also I just felt myfather's presence every minute
of the way and I felt him.
(33:42):
They say sometimes you can feelyour loved ones.
In technologies, weird stuffused to happen where I just knew
that he was championing me onand that was a tough time for me
, but I'll never.
I appreciate that journey.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
That's the word I was looking for.
I was actually.
I had a thought and I lost thetrain of thought.
I've never experienced the lossI've experienced like the death
of a grandparent.
I've never had aside from mydog getting hit by a car I've
never had a human being reallyreally close to me pass away.
So I haven't experienced it.
But I could imagine that, havinggone through that experience,
(34:22):
that it must give you such anunbelievably deep appreciation
for life and for the time thatwe have left.
So obviously the loss of aparent or a loved one is
horrible, but it really justputs things into perspective
about how fleeting time is andhow important it is to not get
caught up with all the bullshit,all the stress and all the
(34:44):
negative emotions and allow itto skew your judgment and just,
yeah, you're going to havenegative emotions and you're
gonna have thoughts that pop up.
Feel it Right, but let it goaway Absolutely.
Just approach everything.
The older I get, the more I tryto bring patience, love,
empathy, understanding all thesethings to every situation, like
(35:05):
nothing good ever comes fromconflict.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Absolutely.
I agree, 100%, and that'sreally how I live my life,
because I realized that all ofthat energy that you put into
being angry, into just notreally having that good energy
go out to others, that's whatdepletes you the anger, the
(35:32):
upset, the not realizing howimportant life is like every
single day, you know.
That's why I practice gratitudeevery morning with my gratitude
journal and really connecting.
I have to start my day withgratitude and connecting to that
source that I call God and thenmy day can begin, because
(35:57):
that's what's important.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Grateful, so very grateful.
I had another thought and itevaded me, so maybe it'll come
back, maybe it won't.
I had another thought and itevaded me, so maybe it'll come
back, maybe it won't.
What would be one thing thatyou'd like to leave our
listeners with?
It could be about your business, if you want to leave a little
plug for the business, it couldbe just something about life in
(36:21):
general, a little piece ofwisdom.
I'll give you one thing Tanyawhat do you?
Speaker 3 (36:29):
got.
Wow, okay, I think that the onething that comes to mind is
that authenticity is reallyimportant.
Yeah, authenticity is the keyto even inside of this
conversation I'm you know youbring your authentic self.
(36:52):
You bring your authentic self,whether it be to your loved ones
or to the people who are inyour, who you're working with as
clients.
I think that is the number onekey to having people really get
who you are people understandingthat they've been gotten in
(37:15):
terms of you understanding them,because people want to be seen,
people want to be heard, andvulnerability is not a negative
word.
Vulnerability is actually thekey to authentic communication,
and I think that a lot of peoplefeel like they have to be
something else, especially withsocial media and all of these
(37:35):
things.
They have to be something elsethat they're not.
But at the end of the day, whenyou bring your real self, who
you truly are, to whatever it isyou're doing, that's when magic
happens.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Well said.
I love you touching uponauthenticity.
It's something that I try mybest to strive for, and we all
put on masks and in differentinteractions.
But what I've come to learn isthat when you do that, you're
ultimately surrounding yourselfwith people that don't reflect
who you are as a genuine person,and you're not going to be
(38:08):
happy.
But if you just act as yourauthentic self, you're going to
attract people that appreciateyou for who you are and you're
going to feel comfortable inyour own skin.
And, like you said, that's whenthe magic starts happening.
That's when you get to trulyunlock your inner creativity.
So many people I'm myself sayingthis all the time so many
people live their whole lifewithout tapping into their inner
(38:29):
potential, their potential forgreatness, and I think every
human being has within themsomething that they could offer
this world that's unique andbeautiful and unfortunately,
everybody gets caught up in therat race and we're miserable all
the time and you live yourwhole life without accessing
that and I'm so grateful forstarting to tap into that at
this stage of my life.
(38:49):
At four I just turned 45.
And it just the perspective hasgone from like oh, I'm halfway
through my life to like, hey,I'm just starting my life.
This is where all the magicreally is truly gonna happen,
and I'm so grateful for it.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Absolutely, and that time, that if you choose to
spend time reflecting that'swhat I do first thing in the
morning and I told you aboutthat Then you actually will
become clear about who yourauthentic self is.
Because that's where you mightthink you are going this way and
you might think this is whatyou are supposed to be doing,
(39:28):
think this is what you weresupposed to be doing.
But once you take that time tobe present and be in the silence
, that's when you really areclear on who you are and what
you ought to be up to.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
Yes, just sitting with the emotions.
I had a conversation with mywife the other day and we were
walking the dogs and oftenshe'll want to explain how she's
feeling She'll want to, andoften she'll want to explain how
she's feeling She'll want tovent her frustrations.
Many times it's with mybehaviors and I find myself, as
she's talking, like wanting todefend myself, like I find
(39:56):
myself like my blood boiling andI'm just wanting to correct her
.
And she told me before theconversation and she said please
, I need you not to say anythingand just sit with everything.
I tell you.
So just don't say anything,just listen to me.
And she's going through and Iforcibly restrained myself from
saying anything and I sat withit and I reflected upon it and
what I realized was that therewas quite a bit of what she was
(40:19):
telling me in there that wasdirectly related to things that
I need to work on myself, that Idon't want to work on because
it's uncomfortable, it's painful, and so my natural defense
mechanism to that was to getdefensive and to cut her off.
But because she told me, don'tdo that, just sit with it, it
really hit home and I came outof that experience with like
(40:40):
some incredibly deep insights.
And then I went back later whenI was kind of calmed down and
addressed some of the things inthere that I thought were needed
to be addressed with her.
Speaker 3 (40:50):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Yeah, that's great.
I mean, when people feel heardand you know they really feel
heard, it makes a difference andyou really.
It might have been difficultbut you ended up doing what she
asked you to do and then shefelt hurt, you know, yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
It was a win-win ultimately.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
Totally, and you discovered things about yourself
.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
Yep, okay.
