It is, you know, we're threequarters through the month of

Tell me about it.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
And Trish, the host, is not here today.
So I'm going to do my absolutebest to bring you guys some
great value and some great tipsand things like that as well.
And I just want to say you know, for everyone out in California
we hope you're staying safe wasanother fire yesterday which is
close to Los Angeles and Ithink a lot of us have friends,
family.
We all know someone out there,so very close, yeah, do you have
(01:15):
any friends or family?
I do.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I'm from that area.
So, yeah, I think everybody'saffected by it.
Six degrees of separation,somehow it's.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
It's really been a lot and you know we're praying
for everybody and hopingeveryone's safe and you know the
firefighters, everyone andwe're saying prayers for you all
.
You know we always like tobring you value here on this
podcast.
So I wanted to go over a couplethings first, before we get
into market numbers, and myfriend, celeste and her amazing
business and company.
So I was actually watching thenews last night and they were
(01:46):
saying that nevada is the worstor we have the worst.
Uh, we're basically the thebiggest crisis as far as the
affordable housing uh market.
So right now, nevada is.
Uh states that Las Vegas has amost significant housing
(02:06):
shortage in the nation,according to Southern Nevada
Regional Housing Authority.
So, because everybody's movinghere and it's not going to get
any better.
It's not going to get better.
No, it's not.
And I'm almost certain thatwe're going to be seeing a lot
of people from California cominghere, especially if they're,
you know, dealing with fireinsurance.
That's in the thousands, andcertain that we're going to be
seeing a lot of people fromCalifornia coming here,
especially if they're, you know,dealing with fire insurance.
(02:28):
That's in the thousands andthousands of dollars or lack
thereof.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yes, and earthquakes and fires and, you know, drought
, it's just.
And then what's going on?
Just as a state, I mean, nevadalooks really promising to a lot
of people.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
It really, really does, and it states that we have
the worst shortage right now inthe country.
So they said that the housingauthority is working on building
more affordable housing thatwill help in trying to utilize
other programs.
Donald Trump, on his first dayin office, did sign an executive
order to direct executivedepartments to deliver emergency
(03:09):
price relief for housing.
I think that is something thatwe all know.
I don't care who you are youcan go anywhere and hear people
complaining about the cost ofeverything.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, you know in housing, especially with COVID,
what happened during thepandemic and you know just the
increase in prices.
They've kind of leveled off alittle bit but they're still out
of reach for a lot of peopletrying to buy a house.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It's just really becoming I don't want to say
unaffordable, but it is becomingvery unaffordable for a lot of
people to especially younger topurchase a new home, or you know
, it's just.
We really do have a problemhere.
For sure, we really need tomake things more affordable, and
not just here everywhere, right.
But I guess what they weresaying is we are about 80,000
(03:58):
houses short of.
We need about 80,000 new homesbuilt that are considered
affordable housing, about 80,000new homes built that are
considered affordable housing,and there are 44,444 people on a
wait list right now here forpublic housing that is
affordable or affordable housing.
That's a lot, so it's kind ofscary.
I mean, it's you know, it's just.
(04:19):
I think there's going to bemore people moving in with
family members and things likethat.
It's you know, I think there'sgoing to be more people moving
in with family members andthings like that.
I think the median rent herehas got to be close to at least
a couple thousand dollars.
I think you're right about thatand that's probably for a
two-bedroom apartment.
It's expensive, it is expensive.
Also, there was just announcedrecently that they are actually
(04:41):
doing a really large developmentwith 964 new homes right around
sunset station.
Oh, that area is really kind ofstarting to really grow a
little more.
Not that it wasn't developed,but I think they're just trying
to add a whole new life to thatarea and you're like the gallery
of mall and yeah that's a goodlittle area.
(05:01):
Yeah, there's costco, they havelvac, there's a bunch of great
stuff over there, so they'regoing to be building a 964 homes
.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I don't think we can build fast enough here no, even
though it seems like we'rebuilding fast, it's, there's a
pace that we're we're being out,paced by the people that need
housing versus what?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
what's actually um getting their ceos and we better
start building faster, becauseI think a lot of people from
California are gonna be comingthat's a fact and the pricing is
not gonna go down and they canafford what they're getting
there and what they can get herefor the same price is a vast
difference, yeah, for sure.
So I'm just gonna go over somemarket numbers for this week.
(05:42):
Right now we have 5,087 singlefamily residences on the market
currently, which is up 61 fromlast week.
You know people are puttingtheir house on the market.
I don't know, maybe they'rehoping that people from
California are going to comehere and buy, but I don't know,
we'll see.
Either way, it hasn't been toomuch movement in the market.
(06:04):
We're up 25 from last.
It hasn't been too muchmovement in the market.
We're up 25 from last week.
As far as condos being put onthe market, we have 1,849.
So pretty decent.
You know we're moving up alittle bit as far as the market.
It's kind of.
You know, more people areputting their house on the
market, which is really normalfor January.
People are done with theholidays.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Right, they're ready to start.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Start looking at maybe summer moving Absolutely.
Kids are out of schoolAbsolutely.
And then, as far as some otherinventory and some numbers, we
have new listings which are down113 from last week.
We have 935 on the market, sopeople are definitely getting
ready to put their home on themarket.
I feel like a lot of times too,after an election, you know
people are ready to get movingand get things going Back on the
(06:52):
market.
We have 158.
And we have 100 less pricedecreases from last week, so 663
.
Week, so 663.
So I think pricing right inthis market is important, even
though I don't think we have somuch on the market where it's
people can't find things.
So I think being competitive isimportant.
(07:14):
But I have a feeling a lot ofthose house prices, especially
with this new fire, might startgoing up a little bit.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Yeah, and then interest rates always play a big
part in that too.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Oh, that it does.
We hope they go down because wewill get much busier, but
that'd be a good thing,Absolutely For us for sure.
Yep, Under contract this weekwe have $749, which is down $48
from last week.
So a tad bit slower, Not a hugedifference.
(07:45):
You know, pretty steady marketright now.
Things aren't changingdrastically in the last couple
of weeks or the.
You know, from the 1st ofJanuary and then sold, we are
down 94.
We have 424 that were sold thisweek.
Pretty steady from last week,no huge differences.
And a lot of that, speaking ofrates, does have to do with the
(08:06):
rates.
We were hoping that we'd see adecrease right at the beginning
of January.
The Feds aren't meeting againuntil, I think, March 19th and
that meeting we, like I saidlast week, are hoping that we're
going to see a deduction inrates.
Currently the rates aren'treally moving, which is, I guess
(08:29):
, good.
It's not going way up, butthey're not going way down
either.
I remember I bought a home backin 2001 and my mortgage was at
8.1%.
That's what I try to tellpeople when they're complaining
about 7%.
Rates used to be years ago like13, 15%, so rates are really
not high right now.
(08:50):
I think what happened was whenCOVID hit.
The rates were two and a half3% and in people's minds they're
hoping that it's going to getthere again.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
That would be a miracle, I think, if it did.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I mean, granted, what would have to happen for those
rates to get there?
Because I don't want to bestuck in my house for six months
straight, right?
So, either way, do I personallythink rates are going to get to
that again?
No, no, I wouldn't bepersonally complaining, but it
would be great for us as lenders.
But you know, I'm hoping thatthe rates are going to get down
(09:26):
into the low sixes by the end ofthe year, which would be great.
That's actually a really greatrate.
Right now we are sitting on aconventional loan Right around
our national average is about a7%, 7.1%.
And when I say national average, that's really just based on
the national average.
That doesn't mean that ifsomeone has great credit or
(09:46):
great debt to income, you're notgoing to get a lower rate.
But that's a national average.
And we're sitting right at a 30year for VA conventional right
about a 6.4, 6.5.
It's really not that high, butat the end of the day, it has to
be affordable for somebody,right?
And so we're going to get into.
This is my friend, celeste.
(10:06):
We're going to get into heramazing company and all about
what she does, and she is anddoes have a local business here
and we always like to bringpeople you know on the show that
are local and you know are herein Nevada, which I think is
awesome.
It's just such a greatcommunity and I feel like
everyone kind of knows everybody.
It gets that way.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Or you know someone, it's a big little city.
Absolutely, it really is.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
And it's just great to have you know local
businesses on the show.
So Celeste owns an amazingcompany called Lady Lux Cleaning
Co.
Yes, or company, and I love hertagline.
Her tagline is yes, or company,and I love her tagline.
Her tagline is I wrote it downand it's so cute and I love it.
It is.
You probably know it way betterthan me.
I better.
(10:50):
Yeah, right, it's wait.
Where is it?
It's oh, experience luxury,live spotless.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Yes, yes, I think that when we talk about cleaning
, right, there's a wholeconversation around.
You know, eco-friendly,non-toxic, what one person
considers clean, another onedoesn't.
So it's very subjective, right,when we talk about cleaning and
(11:17):
I wanted to create a companythat kind of disrupted and shook
things up a little bit, leaningtowards clean living, because
I've done a lot of research, I'mkind of a chemical or a
chemistry geek.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I can see that about you because I've known you long
enough to know that just byhearing you talk, I know that
you really you definitely aresomeone who talks about stuff
like that a lot.
How did you and I'm going to goback to your products and
things here shortly but how didyou like, what made you want to
start that business?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
So I previously was a landscape contractor in town
and sold artificial turf andstuff and my partner bought me
out and shut down the turf partof the company and I honestly,
courtney, I tried to get a jobin this town.
Nobody wants to hire a businessowner Because you're too
qualified.
I don't know what it is.
I applied for like sales,anyway.
(12:15):
So I just realized it was theuniverse telling me that I
needed to create jobs ratherthan take a job.
So I started asking a lot of myfriends.
I love construction.
My dad was a GC, so I grew upin the on the job sites and
things and they're like start acleaning company, like
construction cleaning, and I waslike that is what I did when I
was 15 and 16 on my dad's jobsites out in Northern California
(12:38):
Instead of going to the beachwith my friends.
I was-.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Working for your dad, working for my dad.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I can put you to work , Picking up job sites,
translating Spanish, doing allthe things.
So I just started out wantingto do construction cleaning but
then realized soon thatresidential and commercial kind
of helped pay the bills and keepthe lights on.
So that's really how thecompany was formed.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
And so when you go into a home and you do
everything right, you do office,like what I know, you
definitely do residential butwhat else do you do, what else
does your company do or focus on?
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Yeah, so the commercial division of the
company.
We do office cleaning and thenormal janitorial, but we also
clean the warehouses.
If somebody is moving out and anew tenant is moving in, we'll
come and pressure wash, wipedown the walls, get on the
scissor lifts and really cleanthe space, oh wow.
And then we also doconstruction cleanup as well.
(13:38):
So progress cleanings.
I've created a CMP plan fordust mitigation during
construction, because dust inNevada is a big deal.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
It is bad, and that's why everyone has allergy
problems Me too, yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
And then we do the final cleaning.
So we take the prog, theproject that the gc is going to
turn over to the owner, and wemake it look really good for
them so that when they turn itover the owner is wowed by you
know, just the sparkle and shine, I guess and you also will do
like.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Uh, if someone has like office like, you can do
that the company will do thatonce, twice, a week or whatever
absolutely we.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
We have customized, you know, cleaning programs for
whatever the customer wants.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
That's awesome.
So a lot of commercial agentsand agents that you know watch
this show.
If you guys you know knowsomeone who has a commercial
building or whatever and theyneed that cleaned, I feel like
there's not many companies thatreally do that here.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
There are there's not a lot of independently owned or
woman owned.
A lot of my research has beenin the franchise space.
So there's a lot of cleaningcompanies that you know carry
the right insurances and youknow have W2 employees and pay
work comp and are bonded, butthey're franchise models.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
So they're part.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
They're locally owned , but they're a franchise.
I'm actually a locally ownedstartup cleaning company in town
.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
And I love that.
I always feel like you know,not only because it's you know a
woman business right, we alwayslike to, not only because it's
you know a woman business right,we always like to, you know,
support our local women.
For sure I do, but I think it'sjust important that you know
these huge companies.
I don't necessarily know thatthey have that personal touch
and I think you know for you,being locally owned, I think you
(15:29):
know things just are a littledifferent.
There's more care put intoeverything.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
There is, it's.
You know, the team is reallyabout treating the space as if
it's their own, and I love that.
You know that is one of ourbrand pillars service beyond
expectation.
Oh I like that, really tryingto figure out how do we wow
somebody and do the thingsthat's the little things right
that people appreciate, becauseoverall, the big thing is you
(15:58):
have a clean space, but thelittle thing is, oh, I didn't
realize they washed two coffeecups in the sink, or you know,
those are the extras.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
The little special touches, the little things, yep.
So when you go into a home,like what do you you know when,
when your company, when they gointo a home, what do you guys
really try to focus on?
Or what is you know?
Speaker 3 (16:18):
what are some things you notice that maybe like
another company, just we do alot of move outs with property
managers and do the deepcleanings and we see a lot of
misses.
I mean, now do we miss?
Yes, we're, we're humans, right, like, right and, and we own
(16:42):
that Um, but we'll go back andmake it right and I think it's
just more about um, efficiencyand how many houses or
properties you can do in a day,and for us, I I'm I'm about
volume, yes, but I'm also aboutquality, so that you have to
marriage each other so that youget the result that you want,
(17:04):
which is a clean space,absolutely yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I think that's important because I think you
know if you have someone toclean your home and then it's
like it is a little thing,because sometimes, like you'll
look and the baseboards justhave dust all over them, I just
think it's those little thingsthat you know, you notice that
do make a big difference.
And usually you said you alwayssend out two people, two people
.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
We do a minimum of a team of two.
Now, there is an exception tothat.
If you have a small littlestudio.
Two people are going to tripover each other.
Yeah, not always needed, notalways needed.
The rule of thumb, though, iswe send out a team of two for
two reasons.
One is safety right.
Two people is better than one,especially when they're going
(17:49):
into somebody's home.
And then the second thing is wedon't want to spend all day in
your house or your office, right?
We want to get in, do the joband get out and give you your
space back.
So we're not about spending six, seven, eight, 10 hours in
somebody's home cleaning.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yeah, and I think that's really important.
Years ago I remember I, youknow, had someone come over and
they were there literally likeseven hours and me personally, I
just I don't like to stay there, because at one it's like, you
know, you're in their way ofdoing what they need to do, and
then it just, at what point doesit just become like, okay, I
want my house back.
So I think that's great.
What is your standard time for?
(18:29):
I guess it just depends on thesize of the house.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah, I mean, like we have a team of two on a job
this morning and it's, you know,1650 square feet, because I
priced it out by the square foot, it's about an average size
house, yeah, and they've got twoand a half hours to get that
done.
Oh, that's great, which is fivehours total of work.
That's great.
So if they do three hours,that's okay, but that's great.
(18:56):
So if they do three hours,that's okay, but you know cause
we want to get the job done.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
So that's kind of the average.
That's awesome.
Now, as far as your productscause, that is a big thing and
that's something that I thinkdoes really set you apart.
Just in general, I know youknow you use like really safe
products as well.
Can you tell us about yourproducts and that type of thing?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yeah, you know, I suffer from allergies and
sinuses.
I've always been one that umtries to stay away from, like
dyes and preservatives.
Um, I I cook at home, so I Iknow what you know is going in
my food.
Um, because I just have mywhole opinion about our society
(19:36):
and things that we suffer fromand what food does, and so I
started thinking about okay,what am I putting on my body
Like lotions and potions?
And then I started looking intobleach and ammonia and what are
these products doing as weinhale them?
I have two dogs and myhousemate has three cats and
(19:57):
they're walking on these floorsafter we clean them.
What's happening to them?
And so I started looking intothe adverse effects of all of
these cleaners.
Lysol Fabuloso, which is a bigone, bleach and it's not good
and we all know it's not good.
It's like eating, having a dietCoke with McDonald's.
(20:17):
You know, big Mac and fries.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
It's crazy because when you use certain products
like, the smell is so strongit's just strong.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
So I started doing some research and figuring out
okay, how do we, instead ofpaying another big corporation
money to use products that Iknow that are bad for us, how do
I formulate products that cando a very similar job, maybe
with a little bit more elbowgrease, but that aren't going to
leave that bad smell, that aregood to use on surfaces?
(20:48):
And also I want to protect myemployees.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
And animals, and animals, all of it.
Yes, I imagine that whensomeone's using bleach or all
these strong ammonias over and,over and over again, it can't be
good.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
It's not good.
Actually, with bleach you'resupposed to use gloves, a mask
and goggles.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Wow, it's actually on the bottle, that's one of my
next questions, I'm going to askyou some interesting things.
Okay, maybe most of us don'tknow, so.
So you did a ton of researchand started coming up with your
own stuff, right and and so soyour products are just all
natural, all of them.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah, so I mean I use .
I mean you can go out there andyou can, it's no secret.
Um, you can use like thevinegars and the baking sodas
and the Castile soaps or Dawnsoap.
Dawn soap's actually a reallygood product.
Um.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I love Dawn.
I know it's's versatile it'sgood for grease on your clothes.
If you didn't know that that'sgood.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
It does work, but the formulation like how much of
what ingredient.
That's where the real sciencecomes in and how to figure out
how to make it work.
And I tell you, I have a friendthat's got these beautiful
vinyl floors, like the high-endvinyl floors, and my friend,
charity, and so I said, okay,look, I'm developing the floor
(22:03):
product.
I want to use your vinyl floorsas the guinea pig, like the
tester.
Okay, well, we failed miserablythe first time, the first time
we did it.
She's like I had to clean thatfloor four times because there
was so much sudsiness on it andI was just okay.
So 14 iterations later, thefloors are streak free, they're
(22:26):
clean like you can take a ragafter we're done and there's not
the dirt.
And I've talked to a lot ofmanufacturers.
So I went to stone and flooringmanufacturers and I said, okay,
what products are not to beused on your surfaces?
And I got all of thatinformation and use that to make
(22:46):
sure that my products are safefor that specific surface.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
So that's awesome.
So can people buy your products.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Yes, we have a brand new website we just launched
last night.
It's ladyluxcleaningcom andit's L-U-X, and on there are the
five products that we alreadyhave that have launched.
And then it takes people to ouronline store and we're not set
(23:16):
up for shipping yet.
But it's local.
You can pick it up or if we'reout in the area, we can just
bring it to you.
But yeah, it's all for sale,it's all ready to go.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Thanks, is there any interesting facts about cleaning
or certain things that mostpeople wouldn't know about?
Speaker 3 (23:34):
No, I mean cleaning is cleaning, but different.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
things that people would be surprised about are
different little tips or thingsthat you so don't use vinegar on
stone, because vinegar isacidic and it will etch your
stone over time.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
So don't do that.
When you mop and clean vinylflooring, you really want to
keep your mop as dry as possible.
So really wring it out good,because the moisture will seep
in through the cracks and thenbuckle it and that voids the
warranty.
Oh, that's kind of interesting.
Yeah, very interesting.
So you just the pink stuff, Ineed them to be a sponsor
(24:11):
because I have that they have.
It's amazing.
It's all natural, I'm not aboutto oh is it?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, I'm not about to recreate the wheel.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
So the scrubby paste is we use that because it's just
, I can get behind that company.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
How do you scrubby paste?
What is it?
Speaker 3 (24:29):
So it's in like a little jar, a little yeah, a
little tub, and you use it likeyou would use soft scrub in the
same situations as you would usesoft scrub.
One of the things, though,courtney, that I don't talk a
lot about, that I really want totalk about is our workforce
development.
So, lady Lux, we hire secondchance employees, meaning
(24:57):
they're post-incarceration gonethrough their program.
So we partner with Hope forPrisoners.
We're working with EmployNV topeople who are reentering the
workforce.
We have um a few that are sober, going through sober programs,
um and it.
It requires not only um anunderstanding of what's going on
(25:19):
, but also when life happens tothem, because it seems to happen
more to that demographic thananybody else.
So the understanding, and as anowner, I got to pivot and I've
got to make sure that thecustomers are always taken care
of Absolutely Our hope forprisoners we put on our
construction projects.
We don't have them in theresidential homes just because
(25:42):
and we don't bring anybody thathas any violence or sexual based
offenses into our company,because we're women, owned
Absolutely.
So I got to make sure thatthere are some defining metrics
that we follow.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
You're helping give someone literally a second
chance, and that helps thecommunity and I'm sure it makes
a huge difference in their lifeas well.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
It does I actually didn't know that.
That's really awesome, yeah, soout of that comes our new
nonprofit sector of the business, which is Second Chance
Enterprises.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I love that that we're launching this quarter.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
I love that.
Yeah, Is that going to besimilar to what?
Is that totally different?
Speaker 3 (26:20):
It's a whole new thing for us, but it's where we
can then, you know, get somegrants and really help affect
people of that demographic thatare looking for ways to reenter
the workforce.
I love that the vehicle toteach workplace we get certified
, certify them, we can give themjob skills.
(26:42):
That's awesome, get them off tothe next level.

And I just want to say you know, for everyone out in California
we hope you're staying safe wasanother fire yesterday which is
close to Los Angeles and Ithink a lot of us have friends,
family.
We all know someone out there,so very close, yeah, do you have
(01:15):
any friends or family?
I do.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
I'm from that area.
So, yeah, I think everybody'saffected by it.
Six degrees of separation,somehow it's.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
It's really been a lot and you know we're praying
for everybody and hopingeveryone's safe and you know the
firefighters, everyone andwe're saying prayers for you all
.
You know we always like tobring you value here on this
podcast.
So I wanted to go over a couplethings first, before we get
into market numbers, and myfriend, celeste and her amazing
business and company.
So I was actually watching thenews last night and they were
(01:46):
saying that nevada is the worstor we have the worst.
Uh, we're basically the thebiggest crisis as far as the
affordable housing uh market.
So right now, nevada is.
Uh states that Las Vegas has amost significant housing
(02:06):
shortage in the nation,according to Southern Nevada
Regional Housing Authority.
So, because everybody's movinghere and it's not going to get
any better.
It's not going to get better.
No, it's not.
And I'm almost certain thatwe're going to be seeing a lot
of people from California cominghere, especially if they're,
you know, dealing with fireinsurance.
That's in the thousands, andcertain that we're going to be
seeing a lot of people fromCalifornia coming here,
especially if they're, you know,dealing with fire insurance.
(02:28):
That's in the thousands andthousands of dollars or lack
thereof.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yes, and earthquakes and fires and, you know, drought
, it's just.
And then what's going on?
Just as a state, I mean, nevadalooks really promising to a lot
of people.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
It really, really does, and it states that we have
the worst shortage right now inthe country.
So they said that the housingauthority is working on building
more affordable housing thatwill help in trying to utilize
other programs.
Donald Trump, on his first dayin office, did sign an executive
order to direct executivedepartments to deliver emergency
(03:09):
price relief for housing.
I think that is something thatwe all know.
I don't care who you are youcan go anywhere and hear people
complaining about the cost ofeverything.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, you know in housing, especially with COVID,
what happened during thepandemic and you know just the
increase in prices.
They've kind of leveled off alittle bit but they're still out
of reach for a lot of peopletrying to buy a house.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
It's just really becoming I don't want to say
unaffordable, but it is becomingvery unaffordable for a lot of
people to especially younger topurchase a new home, or you know
, it's just.
We really do have a problemhere.
For sure, we really need tomake things more affordable, and
not just here everywhere, right.
But I guess what they weresaying is we are about 80,000
(03:58):
houses short of.
We need about 80,000 new homesbuilt that are considered
affordable housing, about 80,000new homes built that are
considered affordable housing,and there are 44,444 people on a
wait list right now here forpublic housing that is
affordable or affordable housing.
That's a lot, so it's kind ofscary.
I mean, it's you know, it's just.
(04:19):
I think there's going to bemore people moving in with
family members and things likethat.
It's you know, I think there'sgoing to be more people moving
in with family members andthings like that.
I think the median rent herehas got to be close to at least
a couple thousand dollars.
I think you're right about thatand that's probably for a
two-bedroom apartment.
It's expensive, it is expensive.
Also, there was just announcedrecently that they are actually
(04:41):
doing a really large developmentwith 964 new homes right around
sunset station.
Oh, that area is really kind ofstarting to really grow a
little more.
Not that it wasn't developed,but I think they're just trying
to add a whole new life to thatarea and you're like the gallery
of mall and yeah that's a goodlittle area.
(05:01):
Yeah, there's costco, they havelvac, there's a bunch of great
stuff over there, so they'regoing to be building a 964 homes
.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I don't think we can build fast enough here no, even
though it seems like we'rebuilding fast, it's, there's a
pace that we're we're being out,paced by the people that need
housing versus what?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
what's actually um getting their ceos and we better
start building faster, becauseI think a lot of people from
California are gonna be comingthat's a fact and the pricing is
not gonna go down and they canafford what they're getting
there and what they can get herefor the same price is a vast
difference, yeah, for sure.
So I'm just gonna go over somemarket numbers for this week.
(05:42):
Right now we have 5,087 singlefamily residences on the market
currently, which is up 61 fromlast week.
You know people are puttingtheir house on the market.
I don't know, maybe they'rehoping that people from
California are going to comehere and buy, but I don't know,
we'll see.
Either way, it hasn't been toomuch movement in the market.
(06:04):
We're up 25 from last.
It hasn't been too muchmovement in the market.
We're up 25 from last week.
As far as condos being put onthe market, we have 1,849.
So pretty decent.
You know we're moving up alittle bit as far as the market.
It's kind of.
You know, more people areputting their house on the
market, which is really normalfor January.
People are done with theholidays.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Right, they're ready to start.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Start looking at maybe summer moving Absolutely.
Kids are out of schoolAbsolutely.
And then, as far as some otherinventory and some numbers, we
have new listings which are down113 from last week.
We have 935 on the market, sopeople are definitely getting
ready to put their home on themarket.
I feel like a lot of times too,after an election, you know
people are ready to get movingand get things going Back on the
(06:52):
market.
We have 158.
And we have 100 less pricedecreases from last week, so 663
.
Week, so 663.
So I think pricing right inthis market is important, even
though I don't think we have somuch on the market where it's
people can't find things.
So I think being competitive isimportant.
(07:14):
But I have a feeling a lot ofthose house prices, especially
with this new fire, might startgoing up a little bit.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Yeah, and then interest rates always play a big
part in that too.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Oh, that it does.
We hope they go down because wewill get much busier, but
that'd be a good thing,Absolutely For us for sure.
Yep, Under contract this weekwe have $749, which is down $48
from last week.
So a tad bit slower, Not a hugedifference.
(07:45):
You know, pretty steady marketright now.
Things aren't changingdrastically in the last couple
of weeks or the.
You know, from the 1st ofJanuary and then sold, we are
down 94.
We have 424 that were sold thisweek.
Pretty steady from last week,no huge differences.
And a lot of that, speaking ofrates, does have to do with the
(08:06):
rates.
We were hoping that we'd see adecrease right at the beginning
of January.
The Feds aren't meeting againuntil, I think, March 19th and
that meeting we, like I saidlast week, are hoping that we're
going to see a deduction inrates.
Currently the rates aren'treally moving, which is, I guess
(08:29):
, good.
It's not going way up, butthey're not going way down
either.
I remember I bought a home backin 2001 and my mortgage was at
8.1%.
That's what I try to tellpeople when they're complaining
about 7%.
Rates used to be years ago like13, 15%, so rates are really
not high right now.
(08:50):
I think what happened was whenCOVID hit.
The rates were two and a half3% and in people's minds they're
hoping that it's going to getthere again.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
That would be a miracle, I think, if it did.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I mean, granted, what would have to happen for those
rates to get there?
Because I don't want to bestuck in my house for six months
straight, right?
So, either way, do I personallythink rates are going to get to
that again?
No, no, I wouldn't bepersonally complaining, but it
would be great for us as lenders.
But you know, I'm hoping thatthe rates are going to get down
(09:26):
into the low sixes by the end ofthe year, which would be great.
That's actually a really greatrate.
Right now we are sitting on aconventional loan Right around
our national average is about a7%, 7.1%.
And when I say national average, that's really just based on
the national average.
That doesn't mean that ifsomeone has great credit or
(09:46):
great debt to income, you're notgoing to get a lower rate.
But that's a national average.
And we're sitting right at a 30year for VA conventional right
about a 6.4, 6.5.
It's really not that high, butat the end of the day, it has to
be affordable for somebody,right?
And so we're going to get into.
This is my friend, celeste.
(10:06):
We're going to get into heramazing company and all about
what she does, and she is anddoes have a local business here
and we always like to bringpeople you know on the show that
are local and you know are herein Nevada, which I think is
awesome.
It's just such a greatcommunity and I feel like
everyone kind of knows everybody.
It gets that way.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Or you know someone, it's a big little city.
Absolutely, it really is.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
And it's just great to have you know local
businesses on the show.
So Celeste owns an amazingcompany called Lady Lux Cleaning
Co.
Yes, or company, and I love hertagline.
Her tagline is yes, or company,and I love her tagline.
Her tagline is I wrote it downand it's so cute and I love it.
It is.
You probably know it way betterthan me.
I better.
(10:50):
Yeah, right, it's wait.
Where is it?
It's oh, experience luxury,live spotless.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Yes, yes, I think that when we talk about cleaning
, right, there's a wholeconversation around.
You know, eco-friendly,non-toxic, what one person
considers clean, another onedoesn't.
So it's very subjective, right,when we talk about cleaning and
(11:17):
I wanted to create a companythat kind of disrupted and shook
things up a little bit, leaningtowards clean living, because
I've done a lot of research, I'mkind of a chemical or a
chemistry geek.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I can see that about you because I've known you long
enough to know that just byhearing you talk, I know that
you really you definitely aresomeone who talks about stuff
like that a lot.
How did you and I'm going to goback to your products and
things here shortly but how didyou like, what made you want to
start that business?
Speaker 3 (11:49):
So I previously was a landscape contractor in town
and sold artificial turf andstuff and my partner bought me
out and shut down the turf partof the company and I honestly,
courtney, I tried to get a jobin this town.
Nobody wants to hire a businessowner Because you're too
qualified.
I don't know what it is.
I applied for like sales,anyway.
(12:15):
So I just realized it was theuniverse telling me that I
needed to create jobs ratherthan take a job.
So I started asking a lot of myfriends.
I love construction.
My dad was a GC, so I grew upin the on the job sites and
things and they're like start acleaning company, like
construction cleaning, and I waslike that is what I did when I
was 15 and 16 on my dad's jobsites out in Northern California
(12:38):
Instead of going to the beachwith my friends.
I was-.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Working for your dad, working for my dad.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
I can put you to work , Picking up job sites,
translating Spanish, doing allthe things.
So I just started out wantingto do construction cleaning but
then realized soon thatresidential and commercial kind
of helped pay the bills and keepthe lights on.
So that's really how thecompany was formed.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
And so when you go into a home and you do
everything right, you do office,like what I know, you
definitely do residential butwhat else do you do, what else
does your company do or focus on?
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Yeah, so the commercial division of the
company.
We do office cleaning and thenormal janitorial, but we also
clean the warehouses.
If somebody is moving out and anew tenant is moving in, we'll
come and pressure wash, wipedown the walls, get on the
scissor lifts and really cleanthe space, oh wow.
And then we also doconstruction cleanup as well.
(13:38):
So progress cleanings.
I've created a CMP plan fordust mitigation during
construction, because dust inNevada is a big deal.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
It is bad, and that's why everyone has allergy
problems Me too, yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
And then we do the final cleaning.
So we take the prog, theproject that the gc is going to
turn over to the owner, and wemake it look really good for
them so that when they turn itover the owner is wowed by you
know, just the sparkle and shine, I guess and you also will do
like.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Uh, if someone has like office like, you can do
that the company will do thatonce, twice, a week or whatever
absolutely we.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
We have customized, you know, cleaning programs for
whatever the customer wants.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
That's awesome.
So a lot of commercial agentsand agents that you know watch
this show.
If you guys you know knowsomeone who has a commercial
building or whatever and theyneed that cleaned, I feel like
there's not many companies thatreally do that here.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
There are there's not a lot of independently owned or
woman owned.
A lot of my research has beenin the franchise space.
So there's a lot of cleaningcompanies that you know carry
the right insurances and youknow have W2 employees and pay
work comp and are bonded, butthey're franchise models.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
So they're part.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
They're locally owned , but they're a franchise.
I'm actually a locally ownedstartup cleaning company in town
.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
And I love that.
I always feel like you know,not only because it's you know a
woman business right, we alwayslike to, not only because it's
you know a woman business right,we always like to, you know,
support our local women.
For sure I do, but I think it'sjust important that you know
these huge companies.
I don't necessarily know thatthey have that personal touch
and I think you know for you,being locally owned, I think you
(15:29):
know things just are a littledifferent.
There's more care put intoeverything.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
There is, it's.
You know, the team is reallyabout treating the space as if
it's their own, and I love that.
You know that is one of ourbrand pillars service beyond
expectation.
Oh I like that, really tryingto figure out how do we wow
somebody and do the thingsthat's the little things right
that people appreciate, becauseoverall, the big thing is you
(15:58):
have a clean space, but thelittle thing is, oh, I didn't
realize they washed two coffeecups in the sink, or you know,
those are the extras.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
The little special touches, the little things, yep.
So when you go into a home,like what do you you know when,
when your company, when they gointo a home, what do you guys
really try to focus on?
Or what is you know?
Speaker 3 (16:18):
what are some things you notice that maybe like
another company, just we do alot of move outs with property
managers and do the deepcleanings and we see a lot of
misses.
I mean, now do we miss?
Yes, we're, we're humans, right, like, right and, and we own
(16:42):
that Um, but we'll go back andmake it right and I think it's
just more about um, efficiencyand how many houses or
properties you can do in a day,and for us, I I'm I'm about
volume, yes, but I'm also aboutquality, so that you have to
marriage each other so that youget the result that you want,
(17:04):
which is a clean space,absolutely yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I think that's important because I think you
know if you have someone toclean your home and then it's
like it is a little thing,because sometimes, like you'll
look and the baseboards justhave dust all over them, I just
think it's those little thingsthat you know, you notice that
do make a big difference.
And usually you said you alwayssend out two people, two people
.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
We do a minimum of a team of two.
Now, there is an exception tothat.
If you have a small littlestudio.
Two people are going to tripover each other.
Yeah, not always needed, notalways needed.
The rule of thumb, though, iswe send out a team of two for
two reasons.
One is safety right.
Two people is better than one,especially when they're going
(17:49):
into somebody's home.
And then the second thing is wedon't want to spend all day in
your house or your office, right?
We want to get in, do the joband get out and give you your
space back.
So we're not about spending six, seven, eight, 10 hours in
somebody's home cleaning.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yeah, and I think that's really important.
Years ago I remember I, youknow, had someone come over and
they were there literally likeseven hours and me personally, I
just I don't like to stay there, because at one it's like, you
know, you're in their way ofdoing what they need to do, and
then it just, at what point doesit just become like, okay, I
want my house back.
So I think that's great.
What is your standard time for?
(18:29):
I guess it just depends on thesize of the house.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Yeah, I mean, like we have a team of two on a job
this morning and it's, you know,1650 square feet, because I
priced it out by the square foot, it's about an average size
house, yeah, and they've got twoand a half hours to get that
done.
Oh, that's great, which is fivehours total of work.
That's great.
So if they do three hours,that's okay, but that's great.
(18:56):
So if they do three hours,that's okay, but you know cause
we want to get the job done.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
So that's kind of the average.
That's awesome.
Now, as far as your productscause, that is a big thing and
that's something that I thinkdoes really set you apart.
Just in general, I know youknow you use like really safe
products as well.
Can you tell us about yourproducts and that type of thing?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yeah, you know, I suffer from allergies and
sinuses.
I've always been one that umtries to stay away from, like
dyes and preservatives.
Um, I I cook at home, so I Iknow what you know is going in
my food.
Um, because I just have mywhole opinion about our society
(19:36):
and things that we suffer fromand what food does, and so I
started thinking about okay,what am I putting on my body
Like lotions and potions?
And then I started looking intobleach and ammonia and what are
these products doing as weinhale them?
I have two dogs and myhousemate has three cats and
(19:57):
they're walking on these floorsafter we clean them.
What's happening to them?
And so I started looking intothe adverse effects of all of
these cleaners.
Lysol Fabuloso, which is a bigone, bleach and it's not good
and we all know it's not good.
It's like eating, having a dietCoke with McDonald's.
(20:17):
You know, big Mac and fries.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
It's crazy because when you use certain products
like, the smell is so strongit's just strong.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
So I started doing some research and figuring out
okay, how do we, instead ofpaying another big corporation
money to use products that Iknow that are bad for us, how do
I formulate products that cando a very similar job, maybe
with a little bit more elbowgrease, but that aren't going to
leave that bad smell, that aregood to use on surfaces?
(20:48):
And also I want to protect myemployees.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
And animals, and animals, all of it.
Yes, I imagine that whensomeone's using bleach or all
these strong ammonias over and,over and over again, it can't be
good.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
It's not good.
Actually, with bleach you'resupposed to use gloves, a mask
and goggles.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Wow, it's actually on the bottle, that's one of my
next questions, I'm going to askyou some interesting things.
Okay, maybe most of us don'tknow, so.
So you did a ton of researchand started coming up with your
own stuff, right and and so soyour products are just all
natural, all of them.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Yeah, so I mean I use .
I mean you can go out there andyou can, it's no secret.
Um, you can use like thevinegars and the baking sodas
and the Castile soaps or Dawnsoap.
Dawn soap's actually a reallygood product.
Um.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
I love Dawn.
I know it's's versatile it'sgood for grease on your clothes.
If you didn't know that that'sgood.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
It does work, but the formulation like how much of
what ingredient.
That's where the real sciencecomes in and how to figure out
how to make it work.
And I tell you, I have a friendthat's got these beautiful
vinyl floors, like the high-endvinyl floors, and my friend,
charity, and so I said, okay,look, I'm developing the floor
(22:03):
product.
I want to use your vinyl floorsas the guinea pig, like the
tester.
Okay, well, we failed miserablythe first time, the first time
we did it.
She's like I had to clean thatfloor four times because there
was so much sudsiness on it andI was just okay.
So 14 iterations later, thefloors are streak free, they're
(22:26):
clean like you can take a ragafter we're done and there's not
the dirt.
And I've talked to a lot ofmanufacturers.
So I went to stone and flooringmanufacturers and I said, okay,
what products are not to beused on your surfaces?
And I got all of thatinformation and use that to make
(22:46):
sure that my products are safefor that specific surface.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
So that's awesome.
So can people buy your products.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Yes, we have a brand new website we just launched
last night.
It's ladyluxcleaningcom andit's L-U-X, and on there are the
five products that we alreadyhave that have launched.
And then it takes people to ouronline store and we're not set
(23:16):
up for shipping yet.
But it's local.
You can pick it up or if we'reout in the area, we can just
bring it to you.
But yeah, it's all for sale,it's all ready to go.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Thanks, is there any interesting facts about cleaning
or certain things that mostpeople wouldn't know about?
Speaker 3 (23:34):
No, I mean cleaning is cleaning, but different.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
things that people would be surprised about are
different little tips or thingsthat you so don't use vinegar on
stone, because vinegar isacidic and it will etch your
stone over time.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
So don't do that.
When you mop and clean vinylflooring, you really want to
keep your mop as dry as possible.
So really wring it out good,because the moisture will seep
in through the cracks and thenbuckle it and that voids the
warranty.
Oh, that's kind of interesting.
Yeah, very interesting.
So you just the pink stuff, Ineed them to be a sponsor
(24:11):
because I have that they have.
It's amazing.
It's all natural, I'm not aboutto oh is it?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah, I'm not about to recreate the wheel.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
So the scrubby paste is we use that because it's just
, I can get behind that company.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
How do you scrubby paste?
What is it?
Speaker 3 (24:29):
So it's in like a little jar, a little yeah, a
little tub, and you use it likeyou would use soft scrub in the
same situations as you would usesoft scrub.
One of the things, though,courtney, that I don't talk a
lot about, that I really want totalk about is our workforce
development.
So, lady Lux, we hire secondchance employees, meaning
(24:57):
they're post-incarceration gonethrough their program.
So we partner with Hope forPrisoners.
We're working with EmployNV topeople who are reentering the
workforce.
We have um a few that are sober, going through sober programs,
um and it.
It requires not only um anunderstanding of what's going on
(25:19):
, but also when life happens tothem, because it seems to happen
more to that demographic thananybody else.
So the understanding, and as anowner, I got to pivot and I've
got to make sure that thecustomers are always taken care
of Absolutely Our hope forprisoners we put on our
construction projects.
We don't have them in theresidential homes just because
(25:42):
and we don't bring anybody thathas any violence or sexual based
offenses into our company,because we're women, owned
Absolutely.
So I got to make sure thatthere are some defining metrics
that we follow.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
You're helping give someone literally a second
chance, and that helps thecommunity and I'm sure it makes
a huge difference in their lifeas well.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
It does I actually didn't know that.
That's really awesome, yeah, soout of that comes our new
nonprofit sector of the business, which is Second Chance
Enterprises.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I love that that we're launching this quarter.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
I love that.
Yeah, Is that going to besimilar to what?
Is that totally different?
Speaker 3 (26:20):
It's a whole new thing for us, but it's where we
can then, you know, get somegrants and really help affect
people of that demographic thatare looking for ways to reenter
the workforce.
I love that the vehicle toteach workplace we get certified
, certify them, we can give themjob skills.
(26:42):
That's awesome, get them off tothe next level.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I love that well as your friend and someone who
knows you personally.
I just want to saycongratulations because I think
even six, seven months ago, fromwhere you are now, it's came so
far, so fast.

can for your business and thepeople involved in your business
