“If real estate is your profession, politics is your business.” – Richard Courtney

Real estate is more than just making a living—it’s an opportunity to make a difference. This special episode of the Real Estate Mailbag explores how civic and charitable engagement can enrich both communities and careers in ways that go far beyond financial success.

Our panelists—Nathan Weinberg, Jacob Kupin, and Richard Courtney—share how public service has shaped their lives and offer insight into getting involved in causes that truly matter. From volunteerism to board service, we discuss the power of real estate professionals in driving change.

And if that’s not reason enough to tune in, they’ve got plenty of great stories and some seriously good jokes. Try not to laugh—we dare you!

“It’s called title insurance but it acts more like a guarantee. It guarantees that when you buy a property, you are not going to have a problem; but if you do have a problem, there’s going to be a Fortune 500 company behind you to help resolve the problem.” — Brandon Miller, Wagon Wheel Co-Founder/Attorney

In a first of its kind episode of The REM podcast LIVE, our hosts perform double duty as the guests who unravel some of the complexities of title insurance and also discuss some of the most important issues being addressed in the context of real estate closings. On this episode you can learn about the latest fraud and cyber-scams happening in Music City and how to protect yourself from falling victim, options for title insurance, insights on remote online notarization closings, the state of the current real estate market in Middle Tennessee, and what things a consumer should consider when selecting a title and escrow company.

So, tune in to learn more about the real estate closing journey, and enjoy some laughs as our host guests are quite adept at making fun of each other.

“You absolutely need to serve the Hispanic community, or else your business will not be set to succeed.” — Giovanna Murillo

It’s often said that a business should reflect the communities it serves. In this episode of the Real Estate Mailbag, we go beyond the platitude and dive into the real implications for real estate professionals.

Our powerhouse panel includes three leaders from the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP), including a founding member of NAHREP Nashville. Eva Romero, Debra Beagle, and Giovanna Murillo join us to discuss what the rapidly growing Hispanic population means for Nashville’s real estate and cultural landscape.

We’ll unpack unique insights into working with Hispanic buyers and sellers, why this demographic is already essential to the market, and why its importance will only grow—especially since Tennessee boasts the fastest-growing Hispanic population in the U.S.

Our panelists also highlight key findings from NAHREP’s 2024 State of Hispanic Wealth Report, exploring the metrics of Hispanic wealth growth, the vital role of homeownership in building generational wealth, and why culturally competent, professional services are essential for serving this community.

Tune in to Real Estate Mailbag to hear from top real estate leaders, gain actionable insights, enjoy some laughs, and join us in celebrating the drive to win in real estate!
