    Ep. 163 - The Myth of East Boca vs. West Boca: There's Only One Boca Raton

    Is there really such a thing as East Boca and West Boca? According to Boca Raton real estate broker Matthew Maschler, not exactly. In this episode of the Real Estate Finder Podcast, Matthew tackles one of his biggest Boca Raton real estate pet peeves: the idea that East Boca and West Boca are two completely different places. He explores where these labels came from, how Boca Raton's growth shaped local perceptions, and why ZIP codes, city limits, country clubs, and even mailing addresses have created confusion over the years. Matthew also shares the fascinating history behind Boca West Country Club, explains why many communities with Boca Raton addresses aren't actually inside the city limits, and discusses how buyers often let perception influence major real estate decisions. Whether you're relocating, buying your first home, or simply curious about Boca Raton's neighborhoods, this episode offers valuable local insight into what really matters when choosing where to live. If you're buying or selling a home in Boca Raton—or you're a real estate agent looking to join a growing team—Matthew and Signature Real Estate Companies are ready to help.

    Ep. 160 - Business Cards

    In this episode, Matthew Mashler of Signature Real Estate Finder dives deep into a topic that continues to spark debate among Realtors, sales professionals, and young entrepreneurs: Are business cards still relevant in 2026? Spoiler alert—yes, they are. Matthew breaks down why the traditional business card remains a powerful networking tool, especially in a world dominated by digital contact exchanges, QR codes, and virtual profiles. From networking events to casual conversations on an airplane, the physical card still wins when it comes to memory, follow-up, and first impressions.

    Ep. 156 - Rent to Own - Will Seller Make Repairs?

    In this episode, we break down a listener question about a common — but often misunderstood — housing scenario: rent-to-own. What happens when the roof is falling apart and the buyer-to-be wants the landlord to fix it before closing? We discuss: Why rent-to-own contracts are tricky for both landlords and tenantsThe importance of understanding your agreement before negotiating repairsHow to use the appraisal strategically to lower the purchase price or push for repairsThe hidden incentives (or lack thereof) that drive both parties' behaviorWhether you're a tenant dreaming of ownership or a landlord considering this setup, this episode offers a grounded look at what really happens when "rent now, own later" meets real-world problems.
