What the he*$! is going on with interest rates?

When interest rates rise — and other things impact the purchasing power of potential homebuyers — you need someone who’s been there, done that to see you through. 

That’s why Wendy Ross engaged Dennis Hensling for this episode about mortgages. He is a full-service mortgage banker/broker with over 29 years of experience serving 14 states, offering the most comprehensive array of products in the marketplace.

He discusses with Wendy how he provides clients with the right solutions to close transactions at competitive rates and breaks down what we need to know about the impact of rising interest rates on home buying and selling.

But do I really need a contract?

That’s one of the evergreen questions seemingly every homeowner asks when embarking on construction – a question that far too many contractors even ask! 

Wendy Ross has seen it all from her perspective and dishes on residential construction with Mahyar Ghassemian in this episode.

Mahyar is the founder and managing attorney of Ghassemian Law Group, a boutique law firm that focuses on construction and business law. She also has a masters’ degree in physics and spent a year as a faculty member at California State University, Long Beach, where she taught physics and electronics laboratory courses before moving into the corporate world. Her technical expertise is the reason why she focuses on construction law.

Is the devil really in the details when it comes to residential real estate?

Nothing can ruin a dream home faster than residential legal disputes.

As Wendy Ross’ guest Anthony W. Burton shares in this episode, California’s thorny and overlapping web of state statutes, local regulations, zoning ordinances, homestead laws, tax codes, lease and rental agreement laws, eviction laws. and other rules and regulations — we did say thorny and overlapping, didn’t we? — make it untenable to engage in real estate transactions without the advice of a competent attorney. 

That’s why Wendy counts on Tony. Together, they dive into residential purchase agreements and “the good, the bad and the ugly” surrounding these issues.

If health is the first wealth, then how can our homes support our wellness?

During the pandemic lockdown, fitness moved from crowded gyms to spare bedrooms — and experts say we may never go back. 

But what happens when homes are suddenly called to serve multiple purposes, as we’ve experienced since March 2020? We adapt, of course. 

Few people have had to adapt more than inventor and natural bodybuilding champion Hannes Sheen. 

This renaissance man not only invented leather technologies, a type of adaptation born of innovation, he’s also had to adapt to life-threatening illness, including two emergency brain surgeries, rebuilding his mind and body one dedicated decision at a time. 

During this interview with Wendy, Hannes lends practical and inspiration information about physical fitness and how to build a home gym, regardless of the space available.
