Drawing from their own experiences, they guide you through the highs and lows of handling a leak within their home, offering valuable insights for your own preparedness.
As the hosts share their journey from leak discovery to insurance contact, they provide a roadmap for what to expect and considerations to keep in mind. What steps should you take immediately after discovering a leak? How can you navigate the process once you've contacted your insurance provider? Are you adequately prepared for such an unforeseen event?
Tune in as Leon and Rachelle go over a comprehensive checklist of crucial tips for managing a stressful leak situation. From identifying the source and turning off water to documenting damage and contacting professionals, they break down each step with practical advice.
Join the discussion as they share the nitty-gritty details of the repair and demo process. Learn from their successes and areas for improvement, and discover the proactive measures that can make a significant difference when you hear those dreaded words: "We have a leak!"
But the education doesn't stop there! Stick around for their bonus content:
. **Identify the Source:** Determine the origin of the leak – whether it's a burst pipe, roof damage, or another issue.
- sometime obvious
- other times you may need to hire a professional
2. **Turn Off Water:** Locate and shut off the main water supply to prevent further damage.
- this is good to know for a variety of reasons...earthquake, leak, repairs
3. **Document the Damage:** Take photos or videos of the affected areas for insurance purposes.
- This is BEFORE and DURING the repairs.
- Keep all receipts starting from this point and forward for your insurance for claim purposes and reimbursements.
4. **Call Professionals:** Contact a plumber or relevant professionals to assess and fix the issue.
5. **Mitigate Water Damage:** Use towels, buckets, or a wet-dry vacuum to minimize water damage until help arrives.
- This can be tough depending on where the leak is...so only option might be turning off the water.

Why you should hire a full-service REALTOR® vs a discount real estate brokerage.
Educate Real Estate Podcast
08/29/22 • 48 min
We've all seen the commercials...watched the ads on social media...and even had the mailers sent to our address in bulk. The discount real estate brokerages promising all the services that a full-service REALTOR® will provide, but at that amazing "1%" price tag. It sounds too good to be true! And that's because it is. It's the marking tactic that draws you in, but often fails to deliver.
In this episode of the Educate Real Estate Podcast, we dive into the misleading advertising and the UGLY TRUTH behind the discount real estate brokerages and the promises they make that are hard for them to keep. We discuss the differences between the "discount agent" and the skill set and expertise of a full-service Realtor. We'll address a few options that discount brokerages offer, and shine a spot light on just what you can expect with their plans. We also offer advice on what you should do if you're in the market to hire a Realtor, and what to consider when hiring a qualified agent.
