    Meet Your Neighbor... Doris Mancell

    In this episode of Meet Your Neighbor, Steve sits down with Doris Mancell, whose story is rooted in hard work, generosity, and a lifelong love of helping others. Doris grew up on a farm in Minnesota’s Red River Valley, where she learned how to do just about everything, including changing oil and fixing what needed fixing. After a short time teaching in California, Doris returned to Minnesota to raise her family and continue her teaching career, a role she truly loved. Early in their marriage, Doris and her husband naturally leaned into their strengths. Doris handled the car maintenance while her husband did the cooking, a small detail that perfectly reflects the teamwork that shaped their life together. Doris also shares the unforgettable experience of appearing on a game show with her husband and winning prizes worth nearly half of their annual income.

    This is a special episode of Meet Your Neighbor, dedicated to a cause that is deeply personal and close to the heart.

    Meet Your Neighbor... Bill Barbuto

    In this episode of Meet Your Neighbor, I sit down with William J. Barbuto, a retired Battalion Chief whose life story spans service, sacrifice, and a well-earned new chapter in Arizona. Bill grew up in the Bronx playing stickball in the streets — a childhood built on grit, community, and looking out for one another. That foundation led him to serve our country as a United States Marine, and later to a long and distinguished career with the New York City Fire Department. Rising through the ranks to Battalion Chief, Bill spent decades answering the call in one of the toughest cities in the world, leading others with experience, humility, and heart. In our conversation, Bill reflects on growing up in New York, the brotherhood of the Marines and the fire service, and the moments that stay with you long after retirement. He also shares his personal journey west — what drew him to Arizona, what he was searching for in his next chapter, and how he ultimately discovered and chose Westbrook Village as the place to call home. This episode is a reminder that real estate is about more than houses — it’s about lifestyle, community, and finding the right place for what comes next. Bill’s story captures the spirit of service, transition, and the power of finding a neighborhood that truly feels like home.

    Meet Your Neighbor... Sherri Gillett

    In this episode of Meet Your Neighbor, I sit down with Sherri Gillett, a woman whose life is guided by faith, compassion, and a willingness to embrace every chapter fully. Sherri shares what she’s most proud of: the girls she walked alongside through the StreetLight USA program, offering hope, presence, and unconditional support to those who needed it most. Her story is a powerful reminder that sometimes the greatest impact we make is simply showing up for others. We also talk about reinvention and staying active at every stage of life. At 52, Sherri became a competitive ballroom dancer, and today she channels that same focus and discipline into being a highly competitive pickleball player, proving it’s never too late to find new passions. One of the most touching moments of the conversation is Sherri’s story of secretly restoring her husband’s Ford pickup truck as a surprise retirement gift, a quiet, thoughtful act of love that perfectly reflects who she is at her core. This episode is about faith, service, love in action, and finding purpose through every season of life. It’s a beautiful reminder of what it truly means to be a great neighbor.
