I'm your host, Bill Nappick. Thank you for joining us

let's get down to business as we welcome. As you

to hear and if you're on the YouTube channel, you
get to see our guests and our team from Stuart Title.
But today we're extra honored as we have not just
business development people, but we have top management. That's right,

(01:44):
two of our great A plus plus team managers are here.
We have Jennifer Shemidas. She is Houston's division president for
Stuart Title. In addition the sales manager of the North
Houston division, Mike Snyder. Hey, guys, welcome to the show.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
Thank thank you, Bill, glad to be here, good to
be here.

Speaker 6 (02:02):
Well, it's good to see you both and also to
hear because people want to know what's going on with
Stuart Title. We're a household word, not just here in Houston,
but beyond, and it's just great to hear from visionaries
as you lead the team here in Houston, Texas. So, Jennifer,
let's tell people about your role in what you're doing
for Stuart Title.

Speaker 7 (02:20):
So I'm a division president over North and Southwest Houston Territory.
I've been with Stuart for thirty two years. It's seeing
the historical house Stuart's coming from the past and where
we're going in the future and trying to grow. So
I manage thirteen offices and spend a lot of time
supporting those people. That's my whole job description.

Speaker 6 (02:39):
The key there, it's people, right, It's all about the people.
In thirty two years, what longevity? What has kept you
at Stuart Title for these many years? Because I'm sure
along the way it could have been a time where
you said, oh, someone else wants you to come here
or there. What is it about Stuart that's special?

Speaker 7 (02:54):
Stuart just has been around for one hundred and thirty years.
We're solid. We're a household name. Like you said, I
love the people I work with, I love the people
I work for, I love the management that we're under.
Right now. So it all comes back to the people.

Speaker 6 (03:10):
And as far as keeping Stuart on the top, and
you mentioned the people and business development people. We have
escro officers that you're overseeing. What is it about the
keys that make these people do well in let's say
the escro officer role, because a lot of people that close,
whether they're at Stewart or elsewhere, we hear the escro
officers kind of mysterious. So what are some of the

(03:31):
things that are the keys to great escro officers and
then business development people?

Speaker 7 (03:37):
So our escro officers have to really care about the job.
It's not for everybody, but it's also somebody's most important day.
When you buy your first house, or you sell your
first house, or you're transitioning to another location. You have
to be there and you have to be business like
and detail oriented and take care of all those details
that nobody cares about. But then you also have to
be happy for them and care and celebrate this milestone

(03:58):
in their life.

Speaker 6 (03:59):
It is a big and it's so great at the
closing table when everything comes together like a Swiss watch.

Speaker 8 (04:05):
I mean all the it is a lot of moving parts.

Speaker 6 (04:07):
The different pieces and when we talk about your longevity
thirty two years and our es Grow team. We have
people that are with the company thirty years plus and beyond,
especially on the Scrow team.

Speaker 7 (04:20):
Yes, we have a lot of longevity. I'm One of
the things that I'm working on right now though, is
not forgetting that we need to bring the younger people
in and train them up to replace these people when
they get to the point where they want to retire.
So my focus right now is bringing younger people to
grow with the business and learn from these people that
have all that experience.

Speaker 6 (04:38):
It's exciting and some of our best days are ahead.
I'm very excited as the humble radio host here for
our show. And Mike Snyder, you don't quite have thirty
two years, but you're beginning your first of maybe beyond
thirty two years. Let's tell people about your role with
the company.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (04:53):
Sure, So I'm five weeks in to my role as
as managing a sales team for the North Houston division.
So my focus is primarily the sales reps and leading
six reps across eight offices. So it's great for me
because I know the sales part. I've been doing that

(05:14):
for a long time, been in title for seven years,
and then I have Jennifer to lean on, who's been
doing the ESCRO part for thirty plus years.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
And when listeners are out there, certainly those that are
in Houston that are familiar with the city, maybe they've
been here a long time. And I think a lot
of our listeners have also had the experience to close
its steward title through these many years. But when you
say North Houston, Mike, what give us an idea where
that is? And some of the offices that you're helping?

Speaker 5 (05:39):
Sure, so I the offices that I lead are Sugarland
and Richmond, Katie Fullscher Memorial Cyprus office on Kirby Grove
and Kirby and then up in Kingwood. So those offices
I leave. We've got some other offices kind of Magnolia
Tombaugh area, but I lead. I lead those eight offices

(06:02):
in the six reps there.

Speaker 6 (06:04):
It's a lot again, a lot of people, and we
do have fantastic people all the way around, and people
hear on the show as we talk to our business
development people, and every once in a while, Jennifer, as
you know, we'll have an ESCRO officer on and it's
always fun to hear their perspective, Mike, what are some
of the things as far as sales? I mean people
that are listening, Many of them certainly are in the
sales world, but there's all in real estate, but also

(06:27):
there are people that are in the selling profession in
other things. Whatever it may be. But give us an idea.
As you have studied the sales process and know the
mechanics of the sales process, and you could probably recognize
pretty well when you talk to someone, Hey, that could
be a good salesperson for this or that. What are
some of the basics that you look for when you
assemble a team of salespeople?

Speaker 5 (06:48):
Sure? So one of the things I'm really interested in
is do you have a willingness and have you shown
a willingness to master the industry. I've worked in several
different industries and I've always tried to master each one,
and so I came into Title knowing nothing about real
estate or title, but I tried to learn everything I could,

(07:10):
and I want to I want to know what I
feel our customers should know, so that when I hear
them mention something, I know what they're talking about and
I know how to incorporate that into the resources that
Stuart offers. And that's one of the things I really
look for in sales reps is do you know this industry?

(07:31):
On top of that, do you really know what your
company does? Do you know what Stewart does? Do you
know what resources we have? And do you know them
backwards and forwards? So that if you're sitting in a
radio show and you get a call that says, I,
how do I work this tool you showed me about
four months ago? I can do it without even without
even looking. So those are a couple of things. The

(07:55):
other thing I really look for is just do you
have a do you have a willingness? Do you have
the guts? Do you have the discipline to follow a
process and do all the things that you need to
do to generate new business? Which is what as a salesperson,

(08:15):
that's what we're here for, is to generate new business.
And that's different than just having clients that you're taking
care of. So I really focus on do you have
that desire, do you follow the process to generate the
new business and all the things that come with that.

Speaker 6 (08:32):
And it's interesting we were just talking about systems and
procedures on last week's show. So whether you're flying a
Boeing seven forty seven or whether you're trying to attract
new business, there is a process and sometimes I know
in my own sales career, but we see it all
the time. Sometimes we make things more harder than they

(08:52):
need to be.

Speaker 9 (08:53):
We do.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
I mean, when you think about it, there's three things
we have to do. It's create opportunities, advance them, and
then close. And regardless of the industry that you're in,
there are checklists for that. Just like an airplane. You
know who am I calling today? Why am I calling
that person? How did that person end up on my
prospecting list or as a target? What homer did I do?

(09:16):
How do I know what? Probably because I know my
industry and I know what's on their mind right now.
How do I know what is top of mind for them?
And how do I know what resources that I have
We're going to be able to solve a problem for
them or make something more efficient for them, take something
off their plate, and just add value to their to
their business. And then setting up, hey, what am I

(09:39):
going to do next? What does this lead to? What
am I going to do next? And what's the end
goal in mind?

Speaker 6 (09:45):
Well, Jennifer, give us an idea if were turning the
clock back thirty two years now. There's a lot of
winding back to do that. But how did you even
find Stewart Title or how did you get in this profession?

Speaker 7 (09:57):
So I was looking to move to Houston. I had
a friend and whose father had an attorney friend at
Stuart Titled, and I gave him my resume. I interviewed
with a couple of different offices. I had no experience,
so I was lucky that I got hired in a
builder unit and I started my first job with shooting copies.
I did that for two days and then they made
me a funder and I had no idea what I

(10:17):
was doing. I was just rolling checks in because somebody
told me to do it, and probably about six months in,
I figured out, okay, this is what we're doing. We're
clothing on houses, we're handling people's funds. And just worked
my way up to processor to ESCRA officer, to managing
an escrow unit and then taking on multiple offices.

Speaker 10 (10:34):
So you step out for another.

Speaker 6 (10:37):
As you're leading ESCRO officers and the team at our
various office offices. I think you have to be in
tune to what people want, as Mike was saying, what
customers want. But you have a great perspective to be
able to see what's going on in terms of the mechanics,
because again, I think the ESCRO process is somewhat mysterious
to people. So you know what makes the ESCRO officers tick,

(11:00):
so they can help the clients with each and every transaction.

Speaker 7 (11:03):
Well, and I pride myself on being able to physically
sit down in an office and help them with whatever
they need help with. In fact, when I leave here today,
I'm going to go to an office in Richmond, Texas
and fund a file because the person who funds the
files is out of the office and I can support
them in that way. I don't have to do it often,
but when I do, I can get my hands dirty
and do the work.

Speaker 6 (11:21):
We're talking with Jennifer Shemidas. She is Houston's division president
right here for Stuart Title and Mike Snyder. He is
the sales manager for our Northern Houston division. Mike, before
we close this segment, what else do you want people
to know about Stuart Title or anything else?

Speaker 5 (11:37):
Well, what I want people to know is Stuart is
I mean Jennifer mentioned earlier it's been in business one
hundred and thirty years, which, by the way, it is amazing.
I think is pretty cool as a as a native
Texan joining a Texas company that's so significant and been
around for one hundred and thirty years, I think, I
think is kind of cool. But I just people need
to know that Stuart is a place where if I'm

(11:59):
a real estate a I can walk into any one
of our offices around town and feel like and feel
proud that I can bring my clients there, whether they're
buying or selling, whether it's a thirty thousand dollars lot,
a three million dollar home, or three hundred acres in
prime development area. So people can feel really good and

(12:23):
really proud about bringing their clients there because we feel
proud about the offices. We feel proud about the company
and the people that are managing those transactions for our clients.
And I feel like, in the short time I've been here,
I sense that pride in our teams and our people
and the way they handle their clients and our clients clients.

Speaker 6 (12:42):
And Jennifer, what else should we know?

Speaker 7 (12:45):
Stuart's a great place to work, is a great place
to be. We're always looking for good people. So anyone
who's interested in increasing their career or growing their career,
they need to talk to people at Stuart Title.

Speaker 6 (12:56):
And we have a website Stuart dot com. Is that
a good place to to find that out. So let's
tell people how they may reach you, Mike.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
So I can be reached. My email is Mike dot Snyder,
which is s n y d er at Stewart dot
com or by phone at seven one three two six
one zero four seven to.

Speaker 6 (13:17):
Two and Jennifer, what's the phone number?

Speaker 7 (13:20):
Phone number is eight three to two four one nine
seven four three seven.

Speaker 6 (13:25):
Guys, thanks for being with us and we'll hear from
you again at the end of the show.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
Thank you, Bill Grey, thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Bill.

Speaker 6 (13:30):
As we continue, let's talk to Britney Burns for company
is EXP Realty. Britney, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 8 (13:36):
Thank you so much for the hoar and welcome.

Speaker 6 (13:39):
Well, we're just glad to have you because we've heard
so much about you. You're doing tremendous things. So first
of all, let's tell people about your company.

Speaker 8 (13:45):
E XP. Yes, so I joined XP in January of
twenty nineteen. I was moved here from Remax, and so
I've been really thankful to have joined XP right before
the pandemic, and it was a real great move because
they're a cloud based brokerage and so just really made
sense and was a very not strategic move because we

(14:08):
didn't know about the pandemic at the time, but just
a really great move considering the world shut downs, like
you know, shortly after that. But yeah, I've been in
business for thirteen years as a real estate agent so far.

Speaker 6 (14:20):
Well as far as geographically. As people are listening, they
may be thinking, now, wonder what area Britney covers as
she helps buyers and sellers. What would that be?

Speaker 8 (14:28):
So I'm based in the clear Lake League City area.
I cover quite a bit of Houston area, but that's
my primary location is clear Lake area.

Speaker 6 (14:37):
And right now, if someone's listening on the internet, certainly
here in Houston we know about clear Lake, or at
least most of us, but you know a lot of
people have moved in recently. But if someone's listening from
afar and they're wondering, wonder what clear Lake is like?
Is it a lake? Is it paint a picture for
what this area and some of the drivers in the
area sure.

Speaker 8 (14:58):
So clear Lake is southeast of Houston. It's in between
Houston and Galveston, about halfway between. It's where NASA is
based at and kind of literally centrally located around a lake.
So where I mean clear Lake is kind of the midpoint,
and so it's going to be very coastal area, very

(15:22):
just kind of laid back and kind of beachy vibes,
boating activities, paddleboarding, that sort of thing.

Speaker 6 (15:30):
So you're painting a very nice picture, Brittany, because I
think with those elements people could get no matter where
they're at, they could kind of see yes, some of
those things that are happening there. As far as real
estate right now, how would you describe the market as
you help buyers and sellers in the clear Lake area.

Speaker 8 (15:46):
Absolutely so. Market trends down there right now are high
inventory currently, as I think most of Houston is experiencing
higher inventory for sure, more stable market, more leaning towards
a trends for sure right now with the higher interest
rates at the time, we're going into summer market and

(16:07):
things are starting to move a little bit more now.
Spring market was a little bit more of a dud,
not as great as we had expected. With just economic
uncertainty in the market and not as exciting as we
were hoping. But summer is giving us a little bit
more activity and interest, So it's a positive.

Speaker 6 (16:27):
And at this point, are you helping more buyers or sellers?

Speaker 8 (16:30):
It's probably about fifty to fifty right now, so I've
probably got about fifty to fifty buyers and sellers under contract.

Speaker 6 (16:36):
That's kind of them. Do you feel good when it's
a fifty.

Speaker 8 (16:38):
To fifty I do, Yeah, I do, because primarily my
book of business for the last couple of years has
been heavy sellers. But when it's a slow listing market,
you really want to have a little bit more buyer
activity during that time because listings just haven't been moving
as quickly as they used to.

Speaker 6 (16:57):
So keeping everything stirred up as is the type of
price points that are in the area. Is there because
it sounds like there's water, So a lot of people
when they think of that beachy vibe as you described,
they they think, oh, I might want to go to
clear Lake so I could have a view of some
kind of water. So what are some of the price
points if that's what someone's looking for.

Speaker 8 (17:17):
Yeah, So there's really great school districts out there as well,
So you're going to have a median price point of
actually in the three fifties for non waterview, non waterfront,
but if you want to be on the water, you're
generally looking upwards of eight fifty nine hundred thousand, So in.

Speaker 6 (17:35):
The three fifty range you could be not have the view,
but you can have a nice home.

Speaker 8 (17:40):
Yeah, nice home within a good school district for sure.

Speaker 6 (17:43):
So that's why all these people are moving.

Speaker 8 (17:45):
That's exactly right. Yeah, that's exactly right.

Speaker 6 (17:48):
They were saying that there's like two hundred I think
the figure I heard was it's two hundred a day.
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (17:53):
Yeah, I mean, we still have a huge influx of
people moving here, and I think that that's going to continue.
And I think most people are just kind of still
sitting on the fence right now, waiting to see what's
going to happen with the interest rates and everything going on.
But once things start going down with the rates, I
do think people will get off the fence and start

(18:14):
making moves again. And I think that's going to spike
the home values again and kind of create that competitive
situation that we had during the pandemic. And that's not
going to be a really great situation for the people
that have been sitting on the fence during this time,
because they could get really great deals right now while
things are kind of stagnant and not moving.

Speaker 6 (18:34):
So when's a good time to buy?

Speaker 8 (18:36):
Honestly, anytime's a good time to buy. Now. Now is
a good time to buy. Anytime is a good time
to buy, depending on what you're looking for right so,
like now is a great time to buy because while
the rates are not ideal, now is a great time
because you can get a really stellar deal because homes
are sitting on the market.

Speaker 6 (18:54):
And I would imagine being in the profession now thirteen
years or so, you're getting a lot of referrals and
things like that. But you probably still use social media,
I would imagine absolutely, And as you do, what are
some of the platforms that you like and what do
you do with those platforms? Like, for example, I would
imagine you use Facebook.

Speaker 8 (19:11):
And I'm primarily on Instagram and Facebook. I do use
TikTok a little bit, but not as active on there.
I'm kind of at the I'm a millennial, so I'm
kind of at the age group where we're dabbling in TikTok,
but not quite as active on there, but trying to be.
But yeah, I do use those, but primarily Instagram is

(19:33):
where I'm most active.

Speaker 6 (19:35):
And is when you're not in the Cleara like area.
What other parts of Houston do you? Are? You a lot?

Speaker 8 (19:41):
I honestly go all over It's kind of crazy and
people think I'm really insane for doing this. Like my
listing appointment that I just came from was in Magnolia.

Speaker 6 (19:51):
And even near clear Like, so you're nowhere.

Speaker 8 (19:53):
Near clear Like. But for referral based clients, I'll go
all over town and because I want to be the
one to take care of those people. So yeah, if
I get personal referrals, I usually will be the one
taking care of them, and I don't care that I
have to drive so well.

Speaker 6 (20:11):
Then I noticed this yesterday as I went a pretty
good distance, but thanks to belt Way eight, I was
surprised that I got to this particular place in like
thirty five minutes. Yeah, because it looks so far away
and then once I started the trip, boom. Those are roads,
of course, when they're not so busy, I think really
help us get around well.

Speaker 8 (20:29):
And not only that, but it's Houston. My mindset is
kind of like anywhere you go as an hour, So
I mean, regardless of where you're driving, you're driving an hour.

Speaker 6 (20:38):
We're talking with Britney Burns with exp Realty. So what
are some of the other things that you do from
a market a marketing standpoint. If someone, let's say, has
not been in the business thirteen years, or you're advising
someone that's just started six months a year, what are
some of the basic things that maybe one or two
things that you would tell this person to say, hey,

(20:59):
here's the things you need to do at least these
two things.

Speaker 8 (21:03):
What would that be Definitely building your brand, getting your
name out there, start building your brand from the beginning,
not just building your brokerage brand. I mean you really
need to get your name out there individually, regardless of
if you're on a team or whatever the case may be.
And also collecting reviews. Those are the places that most

(21:25):
people look and if you have that those built up
reviews and that stack of good reviews, that's where people
are going to judge based on what you have. Building
your social media reviews, review count, those are going to
be the most important things to make sure that you're
getting yourself out there and then just not being like

(21:46):
secretive about being a real estate agent because it's kind
of embarrassing sometimes. I know I experienced that when I
was a newer agent. Everybody knows a real estate agent,
and so you don't want to be like too, oh, hey,
I'm a real estate agent, like to advertise about it.
But for me, just bringing value to people and not salesy,

(22:07):
but just reminding people like, hey, yeah, I'm in real estate,
like how can I help you? Is very important and
for me I've gotten a lot of business from that.
Just offering value to people, not asking for the business,
just giving them something of value.

Speaker 6 (22:22):
Sounds like you have a Britney Burns special technique to
doing this, because it sounds a little tricky because you're right,
everybody knows a realtor or. Well, my brother in law
is a realtor, a my sister right, you hear that,
So you it's always maneuvering a way to be distinctive
and to be unique, but get to connect as well.

Speaker 8 (22:42):
Right, Definitely offering something of value and just being yourself,
finding whatever makes you special.

Speaker 6 (22:49):
And before being a realtor, tell us again, what did
you do before real estate?

Speaker 8 (22:53):
Well, I got into real estate really young. I got
my license at twenty one, so I didn't do a
whole lot before getting into real estate. I was waitress
and then I worked at a newspaper and then I
got my real estate license. So not too much of note,
but I got my real estate license because I was
a single mom and I needed a way to provide
for my son, and so that was what got me

(23:15):
into this business. I needed a flexible job that paid
really well. And it's not the easiest business to jump
into full time, for sure, and I learned that really quickly,
but it worked out well for me.

Speaker 6 (23:27):
So yeah, I don't think there's anything easy about it,
but there's a lot of rewarding.

Speaker 8 (23:32):
There's a lot of rewards, and flexibility was one thing
I really wanted. But I will tell you, whenever you
try to go for flexibility, you end up working twenty
four to seven as well.

Speaker 6 (23:43):
I'm flexible out twenty four hours exactly. Yeah, that sounds
good to me.

Speaker 9 (23:47):
Britany.

Speaker 6 (23:47):
Before we close the segment, what else do you want
people to know?

Speaker 8 (23:51):
Yeah, I mean just that I am always here for
people's questions and anything that they, you know, happened to
need real estate wise, I definitely would love to help.

Speaker 9 (24:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
Well flash cells that's once where you can find me,
uh like flash flash Gordon. Yeah, so ran with that
early and find me a hashtag flash cells on Instagram
or flash tags on TikTok.

Speaker 6 (24:55):
That's awesome. So meanwhile, the Woodlands people hear about the
Woodland far and wide, not just in Houston but around
the country. Give us an idea what's happening in the
Woodlands real estate wise.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Everything's happening in the Woodlands. Well priced home sell, quick
overprice houses. Sid It said, destination. It's a lifestyle. You've
got lake living, you've got the mall, you've got Market Street.
It's the quintessential small town America.

Speaker 6 (25:24):
Say that again, overpriced, that's a good quote. We've not
heard that yet.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
I'm good glad to bring some value. Over price houses
sit and well priced homes sell.

Speaker 6 (25:35):
That's awesome. Socrates said that. I think there you go.

Speaker 9 (25:39):
Yeah, so in the mean way.

Speaker 6 (25:40):
Another thing, there's also a waterway in the Woodlands, because
certainly people outside of Houston don't know with each suburb
all the beauty that it has. But tell us about
that waterway. That's a great place.

Speaker 9 (25:51):
Waterway special.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
And you've got nightlife, you've got shopping, you've got movies,
fine dining, you've got patio life. Down the water way,
you can ride the boats a little bit. Everything sounds good.

Speaker 6 (26:04):
And also how far from Lake Conroe, because we do
have some lakes here in Houston.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, so the heart of the Woodlands, it's probably twenty
minutes to Lake Conroe, which you can.

Speaker 6 (26:13):
Go north forest. All sorts of things. Absolutely, and right now,
as far as what you're doing Are you helping more
buyers or more sellers?

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Like the previous guest, Brittany, I do fifty to fifty
pretty split business.

Speaker 6 (26:26):
It's pretty good.

Speaker 9 (26:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (26:27):
And what trends are you seeing in the Woodlands? What's
happening up there right now?

Speaker 2 (26:31):
I mean again back back to price sells houses, Things
that are well priced tend to move. I mean just
nice decorated places tend to attract more buyers and will
get you a better price point.

Speaker 6 (26:44):
As far as social media, what are some of the
things that you're doing to the further your brand.

Speaker 9 (26:49):
Me personally, I like it raw.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
I don't do any editing, tend to go off the cuff,
live and whatever comes out comes out, and I tend
to get a good reaction, you know, good following. My
kids like to make fun of me and tell me
that nobody watches my videos, but I show them to them.

Speaker 6 (27:05):
And but that's right, that's right, no doubt about it.
But also because I think for a variety of reasons, now,
Compass is well known, but also, as I said previously,
the Woodlands is well known, not just in Houston. Do
you so that I'm thinking you're getting people from other
states that seek out the Woodlands and thus find Compass

(27:26):
and end up finding you Andy.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Yeah, well I'm at the end of that line, which
is fine. Yeah, Compass is a nationwide, worldwide company. The
Woodlands is recognized worldwide. I'm always looking for business. I
tend to cater to a smaller clientele. I run a
real niche service type business, extremely service oriented, and it's

(27:49):
a way I like my business.

Speaker 6 (27:50):
Now, when you go outside, if you go outside of
the Woodlands, what other areas do you end up going to?

Speaker 2 (27:55):
So, I mean I can service anywhere in the greater
Houston area. I tend to specialize on where I feel
most competent and able to serve the client. But to
answer that, Magnolia, Montgomery, Conroe, willis into Porter Kingwood, pretty
wide geographic north of town.

Speaker 6 (28:15):
And let's tell people about those areas, because again Montgomery
and Magnolia, not everybody knows about that, even some people
that live right here. As we're in the center of
the loop of Houston. What are some of the things
that are the drivers say for Magnolia.

Speaker 9 (28:32):
You got small town feel.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
It's great small town you know, still local people, local influence,
and it's very family oriented. But it's got all the
you know richness of having the woodlands super close by.
It's in a you know rich area of growth. There's
lots of stuff happening in that Magnolia Corridor.

Speaker 6 (28:55):
And as far as if someone said they give you
a call and maybe again from another city and other
state and they find you Andy Gordon, they say, hey, Andy,
I got your number, I saw your face whatever it is,
and they said, hey, Andy, I'm looking for something with
a little elbow room. Which one of those suburbs would
you direct them to. Let's say I want an acre

(29:16):
and I want a nice house with that acre. Where
are you going to send them?

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Well, I'm going to direct them to my neighborhood, Westwood,
in the heart of Magnolia, Texas. It's a half acreage community,
but very minimally restricted hoa's. People like to have boats,
they like to have RV's, and that is allowed, right.
So that's a big draw to the area in that
neighborhood specifically because you can have your outdoor.

Speaker 9 (29:40):
Stuff and not be hassled by the ho.

Speaker 6 (29:42):
A I think right now people their ears are perking
up because there's not many places. Well, the further out
we go, maybe there are in terms of acreage. But
I know there's a trend every now and then for
someone to say, I want a little bit of elbow room.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Sure, well, I mean that's every but he likes a
little space, and you get out in the country and
that's a great opportunity. I mean, you look into Montgomery
and the two Step community being built. It's incredible. You know,
half acre to full acre lots and beyond it's going
to be an incredible opportunity with lots of growth and
development happening out towards Montgomery, in between Magnolia and Plannersville.

Speaker 6 (30:21):
And back of the Woodlands. As far as the price points,
it's an established area. What are what would say, five
hundred thousand gets somebody if they wanted to live in
the Woodlands in the nicest part possible with a five
hundred thousand dollars budget. Is that possible?

Speaker 9 (30:36):
Sure, it's feasible.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
I mean, five hundred thousand will probably get you twenty
three to twenty four hundred square feet four bedroom, single story,
maybe a two story, eight thousand square foot lot, nicely appointed,
a nice comfortable place to little.

Speaker 6 (30:49):
Let's say that's same. Another person has seven hundred and
fifty thousand. Do the options open up?

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Sure, I mean put you into a different neighborhood, little
enclave of the woodlands, you know, get a little more
real estate and more square footage, nicer amenities in the area.

Speaker 6 (31:07):
So people are still going to the woodlands. They love
the woodlands. And as far as the resources, going back
to Compass real Estate, big company, I would imagine you
have a lot of resources, and you have meetings where
you hear from other locations around the country. What are
some of the things that you hear from Compass that
that you could tell us about. They give us an

(31:28):
idea of some real estate trends out there right now,
what are they talking about like at your at your
last meeting to get you excited about real estate?

Speaker 2 (31:37):
I didn't go, yeah, I'm gonna leave that in.

Speaker 6 (31:41):
Because that's okay too.

Speaker 9 (31:43):
That's okay.

Speaker 6 (31:44):
So but they talk about that stuff, don't they sure?

Speaker 2 (31:47):
I mean, yeah, market trends, local, nationally, I mean all that,
all of that matters on a.

Speaker 6 (31:52):
Mile by the way. I didn't go yeah, yeah, I
mean a lot of meetings I missed too.

Speaker 9 (31:56):
The joys are being self employed.

Speaker 6 (31:57):
Well that's true, but boy, they have resources this Compass,
right yes, sir, So as far as the rest of
the year, we're at the halfway point. Andy. Here, we are,
Andy Gordon, halfway point. How do you see things unfold
if you just go buy a crystal ball and buy
your gut feeling.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
No crystal ball. But the market's going to do what
the market does. Houston is a great place to be.
I mean there's a lot of you know, a lot
of life that happens here. There's medical, there's oil and gas.
So people are always going to be buying and selling
real estate in this market.

Speaker 6 (32:29):
And if someone's in the Woodlands and they're living there
and they say, oh, but I want to go downtown,
it's not that far. If someone wants to hit the
uptown or downtown area, about hal far is it without
a lot of traffic.

Speaker 9 (32:41):
Forty five minutes to an hour.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
Like Britney said, I always tell clients we don't travel
by distance, that we travel by time in the Houston
area because everything's you know, forty five minutes to an
hour pretty much is.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
So.

Speaker 9 (32:52):
It could be the kid's school, it could be the
grocery store.

Speaker 6 (32:54):
Oh, I'm glad you mentioned that the schools every no
matter what subdivision we say that, people say, Oh, that's
because it's they have a great school. So I'm gonna
guess the Woodlands has great schools.

Speaker 9 (33:05):
Of course.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
I mean it's conra isd and it's funded with the
same tax dollars as every other school. But there's you know,
a great opportunity for the kids and the parents to
be involved, and it's great to see.

Speaker 6 (33:19):
And correct me if I'm wrong. But one of the
things I think about when I think of Montgomery Magnolia.
I don't know so much of the Woodlands, but there
are we want to tell people there are certain Again
I may be wrong, but there are certain areas there
where the tax rates a little bit lower than say,
the rest of Houston. Would that be true, Andy.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Absolutely, case in point, the neighborhood that I live in Westwood,
we pay one point nine to eight percent.

Speaker 6 (33:45):
Yeah, but one point eight sounds a lot better than
three point two. Where I've seen that.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Yeah, we all have, and I mean you've seen a
lot of that in new construction. These new communities bring extremely.

Speaker 6 (33:56):
High tax rates, Andy Gordon. Andy, let's tell people how
they can reach you.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
You can find me on Facebook, at your veteran realtor,
you can find me on TikTok at flash cells. You
can find me on Instagram at flash cells, and you

Thank you behalf of all of us as Stewart Title,
Stewart Insurance, and any veteran listen listening. We appreciate your service,
and thank you Andy Gordon.

Speaker 9 (34:36):
Thanks for having me appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
If you're a real estate professional, then listen closely. Cyper
criminals start targeting our industry. They are impersonating real estate professionals,
home buyers, sellers, and title agents. Their goal is to
gain access to your inboxes, computers, and clients so they
can steal information in funds. Does your business insurance offset
these risks? Not sure? Contact Stewart Insurance to determine if

(35:00):
your business is properly insured. Visits Stuart Insurance dot Com
are called eight six six seven ninet eight twenty eight
twenty seven. Visit Stuart Insurance dot Com are called eight, six, six, seven,
ninety eight, twenty eight, twenty seven.

Speaker 6 (35:14):
Real Estate matters with Stuart Title would not be possible
without our partner, Stuart Insurance. With a focus in real
estate and a special focus on real estate broker Stuart
Insurance creates insurance plans to address the risks facing our
industry today. They invest a significant amount of time helping
real estate broker owners offset and manage their risks. Here
he is once again from Stuart Insurance, John Bramlet, John,

(35:36):
welcome to this show.

Speaker 11 (35:37):
Thank you, Bill, always a pleasure.

Speaker 6 (35:39):
Well here at we have great Stewart associates in management
today that you've invited. What a brilliant move on your part.

Speaker 11 (35:45):
Well, it's always nice to see Jennifer and then to
have Mike join the team. That's fantastic.

Speaker 6 (35:50):
A dynamic duo they are, they are no doubt about it. Well, John, people, and.

Speaker 11 (35:55):
Just so you know, Mike is also a graduate of
that fine institution in College Station, Texas. Yes he is.

Speaker 6 (36:01):
Well, I knew there's something special about it.

Speaker 11 (36:03):
Well, I'm sure that's why he was hired.

Speaker 6 (36:06):
I would imagine. I mean, there's a whole network of
people recognition of the Texas A and m graduates because
they are awesome. Indeed, yes, they are the Aggie Network
and people await every week John for golden words about insurance.
So here you are.

Speaker 11 (36:22):
Well today, I'd like to just kind of remind our
listeners again of some of the ways that we can
support their families and their businesses. One of the programs
that we've established over the last maybe half year is
providing insurance policy assessments for our clients, whether it be
a business or a family or an individual, so at

(36:45):
no cost to them, being able to go in and
take a look at whatever coverages that you may have
and see if they meet you know, the objectives and
needs that your business or your family has at this
point in its life. And you know, there are going
to be times and we see really great policies and
they're very solid, and we'll let the clients know that,
and there'll be times when we may see a little

(37:06):
bit of a gap. We worked with an attorney recently
that on her airs and omissions coverage and it was
a good policy, but it wasn't specific to her business
because most of her business was in and around real estate,
so there was some a vagueness to the policy that
could have been an issue, so we were able to
place her in a different type of coverage where it's

(37:27):
very specific in and around real estate, so we were
able to help her that. And then there's sometimes we
see some fairly significant gaps and then that's the case,
we'll share that with our clients or the families that
we're working with as well.

Speaker 6 (37:38):
And of course, the key for individuals and companies is
to be properly insured.

Speaker 11 (37:43):
It truly is. It's just you know what is important
for you at this point in your life, or what's
important for your business at this point in its life.
So it can be a very robust policy, it can
be very conservative policy, but it's understanding what coverages you
feel like you need, you know how risk averse you are,
and then understanding what you do and don't have, and
as long as you're comfortable with that, then, as you said,

(38:03):
that's what we call indicate that people are properly insured.

Speaker 6 (38:07):
And that's and that's so great because we talk about
it every week. And I'm gonna guess, before we got
on the airwaves talking about insurance, I bet people never
really put it into those two words that really sum
up the goal for all of us.

Speaker 11 (38:19):
Well, I think it is and it goes along with
our culture that you know, we want to make sure
that when something bad happens, and it's going to happen
to us at some point, that we can get back
to normal as quickly as possible, and that we do
want to be the insurance resource for real estate. So
part of the way that we can do that is
by making sure that people understand the coverages that they have,

(38:42):
understand the options that they have, and then allow them
to make a valid and smart decision. So we want
we want people to have that VIP experience. We want
them to have that jaw dropping experience. So when they're done,
they felt like that we're the only folks that they
were dealing with.

Speaker 9 (38:59):
They thought like that.

Speaker 11 (39:00):
They were empowered to make smart decisions, and they come
away saying, Wow, that was insurance. That was really a
great experience. So that's where we strive to do every
day and that's ultimately what properly insured will occur.

Speaker 6 (39:13):
And it goes back to the beginning of the show
as we talked about how important people are, and at
Stuart Insurance, the associates there are incredible because to get
the experience you're describing happens because we have longevity on
the team, we have a passion to exceed expectation at
each and every turn. That's what's happening. And we're going

(39:34):
to give the phone number here in a minute or two,
but all they have to do is call that number
to get the experience Stewart Insurance.

Speaker 11 (39:41):
Well, Mike mentioned it earlier about this idea of being
subject matter experts, and we really push our team to
be subject matter experts. So you're reading new policies when
they're coming up and understanding what's happening within the industry
and how things are changing in a marketplace. So that's
really critical because you know, being able to provide that
type of guidance for our clients is key. So that's

(40:03):
why we have insurance advisors versus insurance agents, and that's
why we write and build plans versus selling policies. You know,
that's why we deal with clients and not customers. So
it's very much a part of our DNA to provide
that type of service.

Speaker 6 (40:20):
Well, John, as here we are again the halfway point
of the year, and I know you have meetings at
Stuart Insurance on a regular basis, and these are team
building meetings or meetings where you share information, what's coming
around the core and things like that. Can you give
us an idea of some of the things that the
team at Stewart Insurance are excited about?

Speaker 11 (40:39):
Well, I think I don't know if I would use excited.
I think that we're not going to see, on the
first aligned side, any significant drop in premiums. More than likely,
I guess there is. The one area of excitement is
we have seen one of the larger clients, or of
the larger companies that writes home and auto that for
a while did not have an appetite for Houston. That

(41:02):
appetite has come back and they've made the commitment that
they will not be raising premiums in this year for
the Eastern market for auto at home, and then they're
hoping to trend some of the increases in the renewals
down so that that won't be so tight. They're using
some really unique technology to evaluate roofs, so there should

(41:24):
be areas of the city where maybe we couldn't write
before because they just declined it. Now they'll be willing
to quote and write those roofs and those that they
would write, we might be able to get more beneficial premium.
So I think the exciting thing is that we're seeing
some of the insurance companies be a little more creative.
We're starting to see some companies come back into the market,
so we're excited about that. On the business side, we've

(41:47):
got some partners that we're working with now that have
some really interesting terms on the cyberside, some really interesting
coverage capabilities on the cyberside, as well as some additional
partners on airs and emissions.

Speaker 6 (42:00):
That we're able to write.

Speaker 11 (42:00):
So we're excited about having those new partnerships.

Speaker 6 (42:04):
John, and you mentioned the word roof. I have never
been personally so roof centric as we have had our
real estate professionals here on the show, they talk about roofs.
I find myself, for no good reason, looking at roofs
on people, houses on houses and say that person needs
a new roof. What's going to happen when they get

(42:25):
their insurance renew all these sorts of things. Roofs have
been so important, especially the last couple of years.

Speaker 11 (42:31):
Well they are, and that's why it's important to have
a good insurance advisor that you work with so as
you work through the life of your home policy that
we can talk about things that are important, things that
are going to be considered. You know, what are the
elements that are in your neighborhood, because it's getting that
granular that are going to be portant in the evaluation
of what the premium might be or even if coverage

(42:51):
is available.

Speaker 6 (42:53):
Well, John, what else should we know?

Speaker 11 (42:54):
Well, if you would like to be properly insured, we
would love to have that conversation. And that can be
for a family and individual. It could be their home, wind, auto, flood, watercraft, motorcycle, investment, property,
and we can help with that and you can reach
us at eight sixty six seven ninety eight two eight
two seven. For our business clients, you know, real estate brokers, realtors,

(43:15):
independent title attorney, agents, property management firms, we can help
with your airs in a mission, cyber liability, general liability,
business owners policies, commercial property, commercial auto workers comp and
you can reach us at eight sixty six seven nine
eight two eight two seven. And I guess, as Jennifer
had mentioned, we're also looking for good people as well.
So we've got a couple of opportunities for folks that

(43:37):
if they have an interest in insurance. We would like
to have an interest in insurance or are in the
industry and have a passion for it, We would love
to visit with you.

Speaker 6 (43:45):
What numbers should they call?

Speaker 11 (43:46):
They should call the Career Hiring Hotline at eight six
six seven niney eight two eight two seven.

Speaker 6 (43:52):
And John, I understand you also have a Texas A
and M Graduate hotline.

Speaker 11 (43:57):
Actually, Bill, it's the Texas A and M Former st
Student Excuse Hotline and that's eight six six seven nine
eight two eight two seven.

Speaker 9 (44:04):
John.

Speaker 6 (44:04):
Thanks for being with us. Always a pleasure.

Speaker 1 (44:06):
Bill.

Speaker 6 (44:06):
As we continue, we talk about the great people that
are there here and there to serve you. It's Stewart Title,
not just in Houston, but even beyond and from time
to time. You know, if you're a regular listener, you
will hear from our business development people. But here is
Hope Moy developing business in a tremendous way up there
in Magnolia and Conro Hope. Welcome to the show.

Speaker 10 (44:27):
Hey Bill, good to see you.

Speaker 6 (44:29):
Well here you are so things. I understand that the
construction is getting better when they want to go to
the office there in Magnolia.

Speaker 10 (44:36):
Right, yes, on fourteen eighty eight. So it's a much
better not yet, not smooth selling yet, but we are
so close. We are so close.

Speaker 6 (44:44):
We'll give us an idea. What are some of the
things we should know about your two offices right now?

Speaker 10 (44:48):
So my offices are Magnoia and Conro. My Magnoia office
is off of fourteen eighty eight and twenty nine seventy eight,
and I have two fantastic ASCRO officers there, Kelly Ernst
and Courtney. And in Conro we have three ASK officers
there as well, and.

Speaker 6 (45:06):
Those are growing like crazy though. Right Yeah, And we
talk about Conroe. I know people that used to live
kind of near the center of the city. They bought
places in Conroe. What's the attraction you think there in Conroe?

Speaker 10 (45:18):
Conro is great like life, there's Margaritaville, There's like Conroe,
There's there's space, and so I believe people really come
from Houston and surrounding areas just to get a little
bit of air, so to speak.

Speaker 6 (45:32):
Well, hope, what else should we know?

Speaker 10 (45:35):
You know, give me a call. I'm here to support you.
I'm here to add value to what you do as
real estate agents in all relator industry. Folks out there
where we're happy to help you. We'd love to see
you in our offices and give us a shot on
your next contract.

Speaker 6 (45:50):
The phone number is My.

Speaker 10 (45:52):
Number is three four six two two four one nine
zero eight three four six two two four one nine
zero eight.

Speaker 6 (46:00):
Hope, thanks for being with us.

Speaker 10 (46:02):
Thank you, Bill, It's good to see you.

Speaker 6 (46:04):
So as we continue, we are going to go back
and talk with Jennifer Shemidas and Mike Schneider. Jennifer, let's
remind people your role at Stewart title is I'm.

Speaker 7 (46:13):
Division president over the North Houston territory, and.

Speaker 6 (46:15):
It's going to be exciting to see as things change
and the markets are moving in so many different directions.
What's going to happen here between now and the end
of the year. I know you're excited, and so is
the team, right.

Speaker 7 (46:26):
I'm so excited. It was nice driving around this weekend
and seeing open house signs all over the place. It
feels like we're going into busy summer, so I'm very
excited about that.

Speaker 6 (46:35):
I think you're right because in my neighborhood in the
Green Trails Katie area, I've seen more open house signs
than ever before. Mike, before we close the show, here
give us an idea and your role as sales manager
for North Houston, which is gigantic in northern States. That
might be Rhode Island or Connecticut, but Northeastern is a
country all its own. Give us an idea of some

(46:56):
of the things we should know.

Speaker 5 (46:58):
Well, you know, Bill, our our clients and our prospects
are they're primarily real estate agents, and those agents are
choosing Stuart when they're not getting the service that they
want from their current title company. They're choosing us when
they want to make sure that their clients and their
transactions are in good hands. And they're choosing us when

(47:19):
they want a partner in their business, a partner that
provides value and helps them with their business. And I
think if you haven't taken a look at Stuart in
a while, you should, because those are the things that
we are doing in every Stuart office across the city.

Speaker 6 (47:35):
And of course reminding people too what it means we're
over one hundred and thirty years old. And that's great
to say bragging rights and so forth, but what that
does for someone that closes at Stuart Title is that
should there be a situation down the road, maybe it's
five years, ten years, there's a real good chance we're
going to be around in the next twenty fifty years, right, Jennifer.

Speaker 7 (47:57):
Right, it's definitely a great time to be at Stuart.
