E71-S4 Blast from the Past a follow up to E67, right now on REAL Siblings, It Ain’t Easy

Yesterday at 6:00 AM

Texas Real Estate Commission - Information About Brokerage Services

Blast from the Past, is a special follow up the hosts conversation, in Episode 67 Season 4 about being a Young Boomer or an Old Gen X.  The siblings talked about their dad Bob Seemann and Eric specifically talked about how his dad was just an old soul. While Bob was a teen and young adult coming of age in the 1950's he cherished old songs, music and that he just didn't like 'Modern Music' and that "Rock & Roll".  Here is the proof in Bob's own voice and speach.  From 1955, Rob...


E70-S4 Under New Management is today's subject on REAL Siblings, It Ain’t Easy
#70
06/29/2025

Many business, when sold or there has been some other change in control, will advertise:  UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT.  These signs are posted to attact attention and in many cases this is to imply that the NEW MANAGMENT will be great and anything related to the old management is done and gone.  What is certain is that changes are coming and as a rule, most of us humans, don't like change.  If this is related to your residence in a Townhome Community, Condominium, Apartments or even the Owners Association Management Company for a Planned Urban Developement  (PUD) things are getting a sha...


E69-S4 Unpacking Eminent Domain, with real life examples; coming up on REAL Siblings, It Ain’t Easy
#69
06/16/2025

A simple definition of Eminent Domain is when the Government uses its power to acquire or seize private property.  This may be like land or a house with the intent to use that property for something that helps the public.  Compensation (that means money) is offered but what could be long some of the lasting impacts to the seller?  Current market value does not necessarily equate to long term appreciate or loss of value on remaing value to private property.  That is what the Real Siblings discuss on their latest episode. 

Donna Reed and Eric Seemann are both...


E68-S4 Home Inspections a MUST; coming up REAL Siblings, It Ain’t Easy
#68
05/28/2025

A significant part of the home buying process is the time allocated or afforded to the buyer to select an inspector (or inspectors) of their choice to come in an check out the home.  This independent impartial party and their findings and report are an integral part of the process for the buyers.  As of this recording both of the siblings, have active buyers who are just completing their inspections.  What better time to discuss: Why this is important and How it assists the buyers and their agents in determining to "Walk Away" because of major hidden defects or to...


E67-S4 Young Boomer & Old Gen X-Relocation Considerations; coming up on REAL Siblings, It Ain’t Easy
#67
05/20/2025

There are a lot of things to consider when you prepare to relocate to a new area of the country or world.  This may be exponentially more difficult if you a Baby Boomer or Gen X.  The implications are considerable.  New Doctors, New Church, New Specialists.  Today, the siblings leverage a conversation Donna had with a national group of BNI real estate agents about the challenges, opportunities and considerations that are required to help a Young (or Old) Baby Boomer relocate to new town, new state, new time-zone, new, new new.  Everything that was comfortable and familiar is possibly long...


E66-S4 Buyer's be READY (with your finances); next on REAL Siblings, It Ain’t Easy
#66
02/28/2025

Sometimes, despite all of the discussions and planning, buyer finances can experience a jolt as they approach closing day.  At a minimum the financial institutions involved in a transaction for approving a buyer for the purchase of a property is simply not as simple as we all would like to beleive.  Both of the Real Siblings related recent stories about buyer's that were impacted by lending and finances.  Delays in closing.  Addtional costs.  We try to always point out that this business "Aint Easy".

Donna Reed and Eric Seemann are both professional real estate agents. Donna lives and w...


E65-S4 Talking CRAP, Septically Speaking; next on REAL Siblings, It Ain’t Easy
#65
02/16/2025

Septically speaking we are "diving in" (okay maybe not) in a discussion about On-Site Sewer Systems (OSS).  Regular listeners know Eric lives remotely and that requires certain items on the hillside to live.  Commonly know as a Septic System the OSS is absolutely critical to being able to safely live in a remote (or maybe not so remote location).  From laundry water, to shower water to toilet water and all it's contents it all has to go somewhere when you don't have access to a public sewer system (like most residential homes).  When you draw water from a well on t...


E64-S4 Guest Dustin Runyon w Donna Reed (Eric is still AWOL) next on REAL Siblings, It Ain’t Easy
#64
01/28/2025

Eric is still AWOL so Donna brings in Coach, Entrepreneur, Real Estate Agent, Business Owner & Developer Dustin Runyon from Lake Havasu City, Arizona as a guest.  Like many of our episodes the conversation covered went many directions. From small town of 45,000 (size is relative), school days, academics, career opportunities, going through hard times and coming out on top.  Dustin seamlessly jumps into coaching mode as he "Takes Donna to Church" discussing owning the downfalls in life, not accepting Victim Mindset and coming out on the other side Stronger and Better.  You will want to listen to the entire inspiring dis...

Donna takes the opportunity of Eric being MIA to interview her two youngest sons.  They both live in Denver, CO, have similar interests and likes/dislikes but they live strikingly different lifestyles.  Who got to Denver first?  Which one is married?  Who rents and who owns?  So much to break down in this lively 3 way discussion. And...both are regular contributors to this podcast as Adam composed and recorded our opening music and Caleb provides the "riveting" opening segment to our every episode.  So much to talk about and so much talent.  Oh, and Eric was laying in a hospita...

#58
10/28/2024

It has been a very busy, nay almost overwhelming, three weeks since the hosts last saw each other and recorded together in San Antonio.  We thought we would flashback to our first season and blend episodes 9 and 10 from season one as we talked about all things Fall.  The best content and liveliest conversation from those episodes have been edited, blended with new content (hey blending is our thing: real estate and lifestyle).  Its a little about autumn, fall, hometown, trick or treat, costumes, of course pumpkins and....  Well if I told you everything you may not listen.
