    301: Inside the Housing Trends That Reshaped Greenville in 2025
    Dec 3 2025
    2025 reshaped the Upstate market in ways no one expected—buyers pushed beyond Greenville County, sellers grew more cautious, investors pulled back, and new-construction deals dominated budgets. Add in job-market swings, political uncertainty, shifting affordability, and mortgage rates that broke every seasonal rule, and the year became a turning point for how people bought and sold across Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, and Pickens. This breakdown captures the real forces that moved the market—and what they reveal about where things may be heading next.

    300: Gratitude, Mentorship & the Road to REALTOR of the Year
    Nov 26 2025
    A look back at the winding path to Realtor of the Year becomes a tribute to the people who made it possible—mentors who shared their wisdom, brokers who invested their time, family who carried the emotional weight of an unpredictable career, and clients who trusted the process. From basement training sessions to late-night calls, the journey highlights lessons in resilience, gratitude, and growth and serves as a reminder that every milestone rests on the shoulders of those who showed up, poured in, and believed long before the recognition arrived.

    299: Buyers Are Back—But the Data Isn’t Playing Along
    Nov 19 2025
    Buyer traffic is surging again in the Upstate, with crowded open houses, renewed demand for larger lots, and activity levels that look more like early spring than late fall. But the market data is telling a slower, more cautious story. Inventory continues to climb, months of supply are rising, and affordability remains stuck just shy of the ideal threshold—even as mortgage rates ease and buyer behavior shifts.

    The growing disconnect between real-time market energy and the broader statistical trendlines. From year-over-year listing spikes to unusual seasonal patterns, it breaks down the numbers shaping the current landscape and the signals worth watching as the year winds down.

  • 298: What Greenville’s Local Elections Really Mean for Growth, Traffic, and Home Prices

    298: What Greenville’s Local Elections Really Mean for Growth, Traffic, and Home Prices
    Nov 12 2025
    Local elections just reshaped the landscape in Greenville, Greer, Easley, Travelers Rest, Simpsonville, and even at the state house level—and the ripple effects won’t just be political. This episode breaks down what flipped, who got voted out, and how those decisions could impact growth, new development, impact fees, housing affordability, and ultimately what it costs to live and invest in the Upstate. From anti-growth backlash to a state house race decided by just 20 votes, Stan unpacks why these “small” elections matter way more to your daily life and real estate than most people realize.

Millennials keep waiting for a 2008-style crash that never comes. And Gen Z? They fall in love with fixer-uppers they can’t actually fix. This episode breaks down those common traps, what they cost, and how to avoid them—plus shares insights from a recent discussion with Congressman William Timmons on the ongoing government shutdown and its potential impact on housing.

  • 295: 10 Home Design Trends OUT (and IN) for 2025

    295: 10 Home Design Trends OUT (and IN) for 2025
    Oct 22 2025
    Greenville home style refresh, coming in hot. In this episode, Stan rapid-fires through ten design trends on their way out (hi, barn doors and two-tone cabinets) and the ten replacing them—like wallpaper accents, creamy whites, light floors, smarter tile, and real home offices. If you’re selling, flipping, or building in the Upstate, these shifts can mean faster offers and fewer buyer turn-offs.

    Learn which colors, trims, and finishes are resonating with Greenville buyers right now, the ceiling and wall paint trick designers are using to make rooms feel bigger, and the kitchen choices that help listings pop without scaring off half your buyers. Stan also breaks down why wide-open plans are fading and what “flow plus airy” looks like instead—along with what homeowners actually prefer between dining rooms, eat-in kitchens, and island living.

    Plus, an Amazon Gift Card Drawing! Three names are announced, and the first to confirm by the deadline wins. (Note: the date mentioned in the episode should read October 24, not October 17, with confirmation due by 11:59 PM.)
