    Legislative Update: How to Tackle the Housing Supply Problem w/ Azim Jessa & Keith Lynam

    The Nevada legislative session has reached a key milestone - the bill introduction deadline is now behind us.  That means all proposed bills should have been submitted to the Assembly or Senate by now.  However, the process isn’t over yet.  The bills will now move from the Assembly to the Senate, where they may be amended, and we'll take a look at those changes once they come back. One bill we’re paying close attention to is AB 540.  This bill intends to find a solution for the supply side of real estate and encourage move-up home buying, which will free up much-needed entry-level inventory. Ultimately, the supply issue needs to be tackled from multiple angles, and we believe this bill will make a huge difference.  What other bills are we keeping up with as an association? In this episode, current Legislative Chair Azim Jessa and past Legislative Chair Keith Lynam return. They talk through the latest updates from the 2025 session.  We always had a history of truly entry-level homes, we don’t have that anymore. Without it, you can’t have step-up home ownership. -Keith Lynam   Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  It’s not soup yet Just because we’ve passed the bill deadline doesn’t mean the process is done. What happens next? We need affordable and attainable housing  Housing supply is an ongoing issue that needs to be addressed on multiple fronts. How can the state encourage move-up home buying? The insurance crisis As homeowner’s insurance becomes harder to get, we’ve seen the rise of fragmented or piecemeal coverage. How would this harm the consumer and our housing market?

    Legislative Recap: Fire Insurance, Corporate Buyers & Revitalizing Our Inventory w/ Azim Jessa & Keith Lynam

    We are a third of the way through the 2025 legislative session, and there are a few more key bills we’re monitoring. These bills affect us as real estate professionals, but also protect consumers and support private property rights.  A really important bill that’s moving through legislation is centered on secondary fire insurance and how it’s affecting homeowners’ insurance.  In light of the recent uptick in fires in Nevada and California, insurance companies are increasing rates or even canceling their coverage. As we know, homes can’t be sold without insurance. This will affect the health of our market and people’s ability to achieve and hold onto the dream of homeownership. The last thing our market and consumers need is a rash of foreclosures because homeowners’ insurance has become unaffordable.  How can this issue be addressed? What other bills do we need to be aware of right now?  In this episode, Nevada REALTORS® Legislative Chair, Azim Jessa is joined by former Legislative Chair and real estate legend, Keith Lynam. In this weekly legislative recap, we put the spotlight on 4 bills that have come up in the legislative session.   Insurance companies are withdrawing, canceling and increasing rates, and it’s causing an affordability issue in real estate. We certainly don’t want to see a rash of foreclosures because homeowners’ insurance is too expensive. -Azim Jessa   Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  Insurance and affordability  In the last couple of years, homeowners’ insurance has gotten harder for consumers to get. How does this affect the health of our real estate market? The problem with limiting corporate buyers  While we certainly don’t want Nevada to turn into a town of renters, why is it important not to limit who can buy homes and why? How to improve our inventory There are many neighborhoods in the state that require revitalization. How can this be achieved?  Guest Bio Azim Jessa is a highly accomplished real estate professional, currently serving as the Team Leader and Broker of The Jessa Group at Urban Nest Realty in Nevada.

    How to Build a Successful Real Estate Business Without Burning Out w/ Christal Allen-Harrahill

    Real estate is a high-visibility, high-pressure industry that requires us to go out and create business for ourselves.  Unfortunately, the demands of the job often leave agents suffering from burnout and struggling to balance family, business and their wellbeing.  How do we break out of burnout and set and achieve our goals but in a healthier way? For better or worse, whatever our current reality is, our mindset got us here. In order to run a business that doesn’t wear us down, we have to fix our mental hygiene first.  From there, we can start to set better goals - goals that won’t destroy our health and compromise our families.  Ultimately, mindset is the key to success in every area of our lives.  We can have all the right real estate strategies in the world, but without mindset, we won’t be able to hold onto that success long-term.  How do we get the buy-in of our families in our goals?  In this episode, we’re joined by mom, wife, REALTOR® and certified Life Coach, Christal Allen-Harrahill. She shares how agents can avoid the trap of burnout and how to build a business that won’t break you down later.  If we’re going about strategy with a messy mindset and not paying attention to our mental hygiene, we can have all the strategies in the world, but it’s not going to work. -Christal Allen-Harrahill   Things You’ll Learn In This Episode  Clear communication = kind communication  As agents, we often communicate while trying to manage the other person’s reaction or control the outcome. How do we allow the other person to have the dignity of their own process?  How to collaborate with your family for your success Entrepreneurs often struggle with not being there for their children and disappointing them. What causes disappointment and how can we avoid it? Work with your fear  Most people think they need to avoid fear or shut it down. Why do we need to create a way to process our negative emotions and use them to get better?  Slow down to speed up  In real estate, it’s easy to get caught up in the pressure and fast-pace of the business. Could we get better results by slowing down? Guest Bio Christal Allen-Harrahill is a mom, wife, REALTOR® and certified Life Coach. As a REALTOR®, Christal specializes in homeowners looking to sell West of the 15, and buyers looking to buy West of the 15. As a native Las Vegan she’s seen the Valley grow over the years.

    7 Housing Bills You Can’t Ignore in Nevada’s Legislative Session w/ Azim Jessa

    In the current Nevada legislative session, there are several housing and real estate related bills agents need to be aware of.  We believe some of these bills are exactly what the state needs in order to keep our housing market healthy.  Other bills, on the other hand, might do more harm than good and actually end up hurting the market and ultimately, the consumer.  From bills that deal with single family investment to rent control, what’s our perspective on these bills as an association?  What are the implications of each bill? In this episode, Legislative Chair and Treasurer at Nevada REALTORS®,  Azim Jessa returns to give us the latest update on the legislative session.  Rent control won’t do anything to lower housing prices.

Would it help or hurt the consumer in the long run?
