As we’re guiding our real estate sailing ship through the choppy economic seas of the past few years, we’ve learned the wisdom of having a lookout watching the horizon for threats and opportunities.
We also like to compare notes with other sailors – especially those whose lookout platforms are higher up than ours. They can see more and farther than we can. That’s very helpful when trying to catch a wave or avoid a storm.
So we dove at the chance to interview some high profile people – to find out what they can sea, sea, sea from their higher vantage point.
In beautiful Miami, sitting on the dock of our radio bay, watching the tide roll away:
- Show host and captain of the good ship Equity, Robert Helms
- The cut rate first mate, co-host Russell Gray
- Chief Economist of the National Association of Realtors®, Dr. Lawrence Yun
- Vice President and Associate Director of Research for the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Thomas Cunningham, Ph.D
- President Elect of the National Association of Realtors®, Moe Veissi
Wow! What an all star line-up! After watching each of their presentations to the Congress, we decided to chase them down for a quick conversation that we could share with our listeners. Though they’re all busy men, each was gracious enough to sit down for some one on one with Robert.
Dr. Yun kicks off the show with some comments on the US housing market. He’s the first economist on earth to see and analyze the housing data gathered by the National Association of Realtors®. He’s also able to combine the statistical data with lots of relevant anecdotal data – since he interacts regularly Realtors® around the country. He points out some of the reasons he believes the worst of the storm is past.
Next, we talk to Thomas Cunningham of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Unless you’ve been in a coma the last two years, you know that the Fed has been very active in trying to stimulate the economy with lower interest rates, expanded credit facilities to banks and that mysterious “quantitative easing”. What does it all mean? Our mission is to find out!
While economics and monetary policy is interesting, it’s pretty high in the clouds. So we wrap the show up with a lively conversation with the energetic President-elect of the National Association of Realtors®, Moe Veissi. Moe shares his thoughts as he transitions from local real estate practitioner to the helm of the world’s largest trade association.
It’s all good stuff, so listen in – and be sure to tell a friend!
