    This is EZ with Jen & Deb - Real Estate Chat

    Jen Mejan and Deborah Danhof came highly recommended by several people that I love and trust. Ralph and I were shopping for homes at the height of the COVID real estate bubble, and we had just about given up on homeownership. We went through several different agents that were unresponsive, sometimes flaky, and seemingly out for themselves. We understood that it was a business transaction, but we also wanted to work with someone who understood that buying a home is an emotional process as well. It’s stressful, and for us, it was brand new.  They helped us find a home that was perfect for us, answered all of our questions, and negotiated a killer deal during an unprecedented time in which folks were being outbid by hundreds of thousands of dollars for homes that didn’t seem worth what people were paying.  One of the lessons I learned during the home buying process was that I should have done my homework a lot sooner. I could have bought a home YEARS before I actually did, but I lacked the resources and the know-how.  I bring you an episode that is as fun as it is informative. You had questions, I asked them, and I got your answers! I even got answers to the questions you didn’t ask, such as “do you have any favorite real estate stories.” I got chills hearing about a haunted house situation, and you probably will too.  It’s a great episode. It was so much fun to record. I’ll admit that I don’t feel optimistic about the current state of the real estate market, but I still think it’s possible to get educated on what you can afford and figure out where you’ll need to go to land that house you’ve always wanted.  What are you doing still reading this? Go press play!

    This is EZ - A Solo Experience

    Greetings, loyal followers far and wide! I was going to release an episode today with the homie Miguel Sandoval, but I felt inclined to keep it real with y’all about what’s been going on in my personal life. Today I bring you a solo episode, and with it, a piece of myself. I’ve had to postpone some of my episodes due to being in a state of overwhelm. This happens to me sometimes, and I’ve learned to be kind to myself through it. I thought that if I shared a vulnerable story about myself some of you might see a little of yourselves in it, and thus feel less alone. That’s the whole point of the podcast, afterall. It’s a safe space. A place where people can share and not be judged. As part of my healing process, I’m sharing loudly and proudly. I’m not okay right now, and that’s okay. I will be.  Thanks to all of you who listen, who reach out, and who make space for me in your lives. I appreciate you so much. It can be lonely on this end of the mic, but even if I feel lonely, I know I’m not alone. Special thanks to my therapist, Cynthia, who doesn’t even follow me on here but has added so much color to my life and given me the freedom to be kind to myself, unapologetically. I know therapy isn’t for everyone, but it’s definitely for me and I encourage any of you who have been wanting to give it a try to go for it. And understand that your first therapist might not be the one, but the one is definitely out there. There is so much power in being heard and understood. We all need to feel like our story matters. And it does matter. Your story matters. Whoever you are. The fact that you read this far means you needed to hear this. Sending you love and light. Releasing this episode earlier than usual because I want to go to bed early. LOL! Besos.
