In this episode, we're peeling back the layers to uncover the latest trends, strategies, and insights shaping the global real estate landscape. 🌍 From innovative approaches to buying and selling properties to navigating the complexities of international markets, David shares his expertise to help you stay ahead in the game.

A realtor not only helps with the process of buying and selling homes. The relationship with a realtor starts before the transaction.

A realtor is a lifelong resource for all things home.

What is the NAR Settlement? There is no standard 6% of commission for realtors. Commissions have always been a negotiated number to help with deals and to close them as effectively as possible in favor of their clients. The settlement was a $418million settlement that the NAR must pay over the next four years. A buyer written agreement is now required for any purchase of real estate today. This has increased the level of transparency than what we have seen over the past years. A buyer may have to be able to be represented and sellers will continue to pay to be represented. The biggest change in real estate transactions is that all buyers and sellers will have actual written agreements with their relationship with their representing realtor.

In this episode you will learn about all aspects of real estate transactions, how to hire a realtor, the questions that you should know to ask, and the value of purchasing a home.

What is the latest TREND in the stone industry? The personal connection with the stone is the key to understanding what is trending. Stones are unique, whether we are talking about precious stones or countertops. They all carry a different energy and feeling that offers us a different energy and feeling. The crystal has the most amount of energy possible. The condition of the world and what is happening in the environment around us has a great influence on the colors that we select. Some colors offer a more calming feel, others influence focus, as some represent recovery or help increase our energy. People wanted life and greenery in their homes, so green stones have became popular. Due to the spiritual connection, all natural colors have become more popular.

LISTEN to LEARN when you should start looking for appliances in the remodeling process. START EARLY. Sometime before breaking ground on your new home, looking for appliances is actually suggested.

Learn how to avoid nightmare stories when buying appliances. Make sure the trades align as there are different factors that go into the proper installation of your cabinets and how the appliances will ultimately be affected based on where the spec measurements configure with your plumbing, electrical, gas and other factors. Make sure the designer, architect and all trades are working cohesively to assure no surprises arise later in the project. For example, check that your electrical lines are run in the proper locations based on the exact appliances that you are purchasing. The better you plan through the remodel, the better the appliance installation will go. Work with an appliance dealer who will consult and review your plans to make sure these challenges are avoided based on the specs.

WHAT'S TRENDING? Microwave Drawers and Steam Ovens are the two most popular items in kitchen appliances that Mike has seen grown in popularity. Smart kitchen technology has come a long way,  and is evident when looking at the evolution of the kitchen cooktops.

What's to Come: What is next in the 5 to 10 years in kitchen appliances? Where is there room to advance? Hear Mike's take on Gas vs. Induction and the evolution of where it could go.

Meet Laura Basili, The Deck Diva, of Brazilian Lumber as she explains the exotic hardwood industry, how to select the best product for your home project, the trends in the hardwood industry, hardwood maintenance, what are certified hardwoods, as well as sustainability efforts towards forestry management and SO MUCH MORE!

Why is Brazilian Exotic Hardwoods the best types of woods to use in your exterior home projects?

Learn more about Ipe, Cumuru, Garapa, Jatoba, Tigerwood, Massaranduba, Santos Mahogany and so many others. Depending on the color or workability that you want, there is an exotic hardwood for you. Cumuru is a current architects favorite here in South Florida due to the color and properties that it has.

Know the difference between the different levels of certified hardwoods and why this is so important.  FSC certified wood is important to know about when selecting product and is seen as economically sustainable, which covers social aspects of forestry and manufacturing of the product.

Why are the Sustainability efforts so important when discussing forestry management? Forestry is healthy for the rainforest and our ecosystem. Brazilian Lumber is only interested in commercially viable trees. What does that mean? Only a forestry engineer is allowed to select the trees that are no longer viable to the forest and have gone through their life cycle. These trees are no longer seed bearing trees, which allows the underbrush to receive light from the sun as the overall canopy is reduced. Without this, farming and mining would go into these forests, which would pollute and negatively impact the environment.  Forestry is controlled and helps the evolution and continuous development of the rainforest.

By doing this, forestry provides jobs, medical facilities, schools, and other aspects of naturally occurring and sustainable product that allows additional growth to occur (both in the forest and socially) that would not have been allowed to take place. The trees in the underbrush  would never have the opportunity to grow.

Learn more about selecting the best hardwood for you, the ease of installing exotic hardwoods, maintenance, and so much more from Brazilian Lumber by listening to this podcast. Did you know that there is a platinum level of hardwood? There is just too much to know about exotic hardwoods and the industry so LISTEN NOW!

Are you ready for INSULATION 101?

When people look at remodeling their home, they tend to only look at the beauty side of things, and leave out the efficiency....insulation!

Insulation helps improve your homes integrity, effects the efficiency of your utilities, as well as your indoor air quality.

Most homes have the basic fiberglass or cellulose, SunPro specializes in spray foam!

Spray Foam v.s. Fiberglass:
- Fiberglass is 1/3 of the cost of Spray Foam
- Spray Foam reduces about 30% of the work load on your a/c unit
- Fiberglass will give about a 10% reduction in the work load on your a/c
- Fiberglass only focuses on conductive heat
- Spray Foam forms a radiant barrier

With windows and doors you're only working with the walls, leaving your roof with the most exposure, which produces more heat. In many cases homeowners believe they have an HVAC problem, when in reality their system is just overworked.

For more INFORMATION on insulation contact Michael and the SunPro team.

By day, he's a high school woodshop teacher, showing students how to use tools and their hands to make something they're proud of, and by night/weekends he creates beautiful live edge furniture to sell and sometimes for himself! Between resin, cutting down trees, and creating the furniture, he keeps himself busy.
