In our two previous episodes, we talked briefly about our populations in our areas of service. Those conversations caused us to ponder about where we are now and where we came from. How did our population change, migrate, and grow from native indiginous peoples to our diverse cultural and racial mix we have today. Let's face it we all came from somewhere! Are you in the majority or the minority? Are you native to your area (as in BORN HERE) or did you transplant from another part of the country? Donna is at 20 plus year's in Arizona and Eric is approaching his 34 anniversary in Texas. Neither native to their new HOME TOWNS (and yes that is homage to the new intro music, created by Joseph Grant Reed).

Thanks for checking in and for listening!

Donna Reed and Eric Seemann are both professional real estate agents. Donna lives and works in Tucson Arizona with Keller Williams Southern Arizona while Eric lives and works in San Antonio Texas with Keller Williams Heritage. They are also siblings, and they grew up in a small Northwest Ohio village of Lindsey. Their idyllic small-town childhood laid the foundation for what would become the structure of their lives and careers in real estate. We hope you will join us as we reminisce, reflect, and correlate how our childhood and life in rural Ohio still impacts our dealings with our clients today.

Six-Seven. 6-7, Six/Seven. As real estate professionals we have to juggle (or balance) Needs-Wants for buyers and seller clients all the time. So what is a NEED and what is a WANT? That depends on each client (single or multiple). What they need maybe lots of counter space in their kitchen. What they want is granite. Or, maybe quartz. Possbily marble. No one asks for laminate or what was commonly called by the brand name Formica (first introduced as an electrical insulation product in 1913). Hopping on the 6/7 trend and how that easily translates to Needs/Wants.

A "What is your Legacy" "Saving your Memories" "The Value of Things" all are triggered by a YouTube video that focused a discussion on "Advertising" Wooden Nickels. A historian of the Near South Side of Chicago ran across a wooden nickel that belonged to our Grandfather Victor Torsberg. What follows is a story of memories, family heirlooms, inspiration, conversations and so much more. We even discuss if today's generation places any value on "things" that we have. Treasured momentos and rememberances. Thanks to @onesixfive (real identity unknown) for posting about the Magic of Victor Torsberg.

The numbers are in and 2025 was a challenging year in Real Estate. Nationally the Median Home Value increase was 0.7%. Experienced agents (43 years in) say 2025 was the toughest yet. The siblings talk about the real challenges of determining Market Value (based on all available data) and Market Price (what the parties actually agree to in a contract) and how price (high or low), impacts the value moving forward. All this and we have still have a Markets on the Eights coming up in February.

What about JOY? Do you feel the joy of the season? Do you honestly ever experience joy or is it more like happiness or contentment. What, if anything brings you JOY? We talk about life happenings and the joy of real estate. Do you have to slow down, grab a moment of peace and then feel the joy? The Joy of the season, is intended to be felt and displayed to all of your friends, family and acquaintenances (or at lease everyone you meet). It is elusive and hard to capture that time, that feeling that euphoria (dare we say Joy?) Join us for the discussion.
