REAL Smart is a podcast about real estate for real estate industry folks — REALTORS®, real estate agents, lenders, closing and title folks, real estate investors, and hey, anyone looking to learn a little more about real estate…and get REAL(ly)* Smart.
Join REALTOR® Maura Neill and Real Estate Attorney Cheryl King as they discuss all things real estate — sometimes they agree, and sometimes they don’t (but it’s more fun that way, isn’t it?).
*Fellow grammar nerds…we hear you.
