Real Estate in the 608

Very useful podcast whether you already own a home, are wanting to sell, or are looking to buy (even for the first time). They also do a good job of being entertaining. And the hosts are professional and use good enough sound recording/editing as to not be distracting (not always the case with local podcasts). The transition to Asher being a full time co-host has gone more smoothly than this kind of change usually goes! Bonus points for promoting local musicians. It can go a little long, and I'd kill for chapter markers so I could skip past segments that aren't relevant to me, or directly to ones that I might want to share with others, but many podcasts have that issue still.

The Madison area has seen incredible growth over the last 20 years and you learn all about how it continues to grow and evolve, but you also learn so much more. Adam and Ben bring on great, insightful guests and you always learn something new no matter what kind of roof you currently have over your head.

I’m a property owner and investor in the 608 area. I get very little out of this podcast. There are useful tidbits scattered within, but there is so much useless cutesy fluff that i rarely listen, and when I do it’s only to hear a specific person or segment and I skip forward to that section. If they cut out all the banter and dumb games this could be a useful podcast, but frankly there’s like 5min out of a 60min episode that’s worth listening to.

I love this hyper-local podcast. —- It’s useful, relevant, and ethical. Real Estate in the 608 is concerned about more than just profiting from buying, selling, flipping, and land lording. All of that is important, but are taking care of a home, affordable housing, and equal access to housing. —- Interesting comments about UW’s “Sifting and Winnowing and Film Burning” film about landlords discriminating based on race. The Madison rental homes in this 1962 documentary look familiar, like neighborhoods I drive through today. —- I’m guilty of “poaching tradespeople” recommended by Ben Anton & Adam Elliot, for my own rolodex of contractors. —- Great intro tagline! How to take care of a house might seem like common sense, but there are a lot of us who could do better at “living in a house.” ;-) —- Such a cool podcast logo Jason Klein designed! —- I’ve learned a lot of things from this podcast, but have yet to figure out who Mona is. Ben lives in Mona’s house. Who is this very special Mona perdon? —- Looking forward to many more episodes!
