Real Estate on Radio
Last Wednesday I was fortunate enough to be featured on The Maxon Show over at Utah’s KTALK AM 630. Host, Mark Maxon was an absolute pleasure to speak with. The man is as passionately idealistic as he is straightforwardly realistic. Add that to an over 3 decade long sales career for Fortune 500 and Fortune 50 companies and it is no wonder that Mr. Maxon is one of the most insightful, inspiring and sought after speakers in the motivational and sales training industry. His book, Achieving Excellence in Life is a definite must read for anyone serious about making the most out of themselves.
Then, just last Sunday, I was on air again. This time I got to discuss things with Kevin O’Connel for his show, Real People Real Issues which is broadcast over at NewsRadio WLAC 1510. Kevin has been involved in the real estate industry since 1976. His experiences include developing various financing options and credit underwriting, property management, property acquisitions and sales, and appraising. He also served as Director of Single Family Homeownership Programs for the Tennessee Housing Development Agency from May 1998 until October 2001. Since June 2004, he has also been the owner and CEO of the Nashville School of Real Estate. To say that this man knows real estate would be a gross understatement.
I thought both interviews went particularly well. You can expect to catch me on more radio guestings in the future. The reason for this is because I am taking every opportunity to spread some genuinely positive vibe in an industry that’s admittedly had more than it’s fair share of bad news. True, the housing market has seen better days but as I keep stressing, it’s times like these that can result in amazing opportunities for people. I believe that it is very important for us to inspire people who are in a position to invest to actually take advantage of these opportunities. Not only will they be getting some of the best deals in decades, they’re actually helping the housing market become more stable by helping lower the surplus in inventory. According to David Rosenberg , Merril Lynch chief North American economist, “Lowering housing inventory is key to solving the ailing real estate market and broader economy.”
