One of the biggest reasons why small contractors struggle in getting signed contracts is because they do not offer financing options to clients. Many property owners prefer to not spend cash on construction jobs but refinancing their home to obtain the cash can be very costly and time consuming. Financing options for contractors, through companies like Hearth Financing, solve this problem and help contractors gain an edge over competitors.

Signed into law on September 1, 2020 by Governor Newsom, AB3088 is widely known as the COVID 19 Tenant Relief Act of 2020. This law enacted many safety measures for tenants and requires landlords to comply with various requirements in order to evict or have the ability to pursue past due rents. But the new law also allowed for local jurisdictions to place stricter requirements. This has created large confusion amongst many landlords trying to keep up with rules that may or may not apply to their specific property. In this episode, I help alleviate the confusion with a summary of the law and a landlord’s duties to comply with the COVID-19 Tenant Relief Act of 2020.

The 2020 election sparked many emotions in American citizens. Besides voting for the next President, Americans also voted on many local propositions. In California, Proposition 19 was one of those. Even though it passed with approximately 51.5% majority vote, there is still a lot of confusion on this proposition and what it exactly does to property taxes. In this episode, I break down Prop 19 and how it will work. If you are a senior citizen or plan on transferring property to your children or grandchildren or if you are the child receiving the property, this is an episode you will need to hear.

As the son of Roger Waters, who cofounded the band Pink Floyd, and a mother with a bigger record collection than his dad, it’s no surprise that Harry Waters became an accomplished musician. His childhood consisted of touring with his father, learning the piano, and you’ve probably heard his voice as a child in Pink Floyd’s song Goodbye Blue Sky. Today, along with sporting an incredibly long red beard, Harry has become an expert piano and Hammond Organ player, scores films, and performs with his band McNally Waters. He joins me on the podcast to discuss his unique upbringing with music and his techniques in scoring a film.

The smooth and relaxing rhythms most often associated with a cool New Orleans night form the basis of America’s Classical Music: Jazz. Over the years as America fell in love with rock n roll, hip hop, punk rock or K-Pop, the jazz scene has always held a place in our nation in the 100 plus years since its creation. What makes jazz so special is that as it has grown and spread, it has molded with the world around it, creating different genres and moods that perfectly match the wide diversity in America. Each new generation offers a chance to create its own spin on the genre, further growing it for the worlds enjoyment. Our guest today is one of those next generation jazz musicians, Nora Stanley. Not even 24 years old, Nora is the latest jazz phenom on the Bay Area scene.

With the awards season having come to a close last week with the Oscars, it seems as good a time as any to talk about one of my favorite subjects: movies. The art of storytelling is not easy to master. There are many nuances to the craft that many are not aware of and are difficult to learn. Our guest today is Professor joseph McBride, who teaches the art of screenwriting as well as film history at San Francisco State University. Over his 40 plus year career, Professor McBride has written books about Steven Spielberg and Frank Capra, and worked alongside the legendary Orson Wells. Today, Professor McBride is on our podcast to share with us his journey and experiences in the film industry.

On a clear night, when looking up at the stars, it is hard not to be amazed at the vast universe that exists around us, and how small we are comparative to everything around us. Every now and then, it is important to reflect on the sheer magnitude of what goes on beyond our planets atmosphere, and remember that we are just a pale blue dot in the infinite expanse of space. Today we welcome back friend of the podcast Ben Burress, astronomer at Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland. Ben will break down for us the latest goings on in space, as well as discuss some of the great and vast wonders of the universe,

On this episode of Keeping it REALTY, Brian and Marc breakdown the latest attempt to solve the housing and homeless crisis in the Bay Area: The Fair Housing Ordinance in Oakland aimed at eliminating background checks for prospective tenants. Next, Brian explains the most common reasons as to why a building development will fall through. We also take a moment to reflect on the biggest real estate development in the last decade. Also, the New York Time published an article warning of future abuses by landlords using technology. Are these fears something to give notice too?
And in the property analysis, we have our eyes on a 4-Plex located in the heart of Richmond, CA.

You may not know who Howard Jarvis is, but if you live in California, he has had a major impact on your life without you even realizing it. Back in the 1970s, Jarvis was a Republican lobbyist who resented the power of big government. He led a massive campaign to slash property taxes in California, and succeeded in 1978 with the passing of Prop 13.
With its passing, property taxes were slashed to 1% of the purchase price, while also setting a cap of 2% on how much property taxes could be raised year-to-year.
While the initiative has saved Californians thousands of dollars, its long term impacts have had seriously negative consequences for many programs in California, chief among them being education.
Today Prop 13’s popularity in California has made it a Third Rail, threatening political death to any politician aiming to curb it.
Our guests today are Jason Cohn and Camille Servan-Schreiber, who have produced a film called “The First Angry Man,” which captures Howard Jarvis’ quest to put Prop 13 on the ballot, and further explores the long lasting consequences it has had on the state.. The film will can be seen at the SF Urban Film Festival as well as the SF Indie Film Festival, taking place February 2nd through the 9th. Later this year, a measure on the 2020 ballot will seek to roll back some of Prop 13s protections on commercial and industrial properties. In this episode, Jason, Camille and I discuss their film, as well as Prop 13s impact on California, and it’s future.

This might shock you, but not everything you see in movies is real. There really is not a real life Infinity Gauntlet for you to snap your fingers with. But that doesn’t mean movies have no themes and lessons that actually translate to the real world. Our guest today is Philosophy Professor Wayne Yuen of Ohlone College in Fremont, who has written many books about the various ethical lessons presented in movies. Today we talk with Professor Yuen about how movies and tv shows can teach us ethical real world lessons and consequences.

Laughter is the best medicine, and in today's world of political angst, that statement has rarely been more true. From newspaper cartoons to late-night comedians, politics and humor have been hand-in-hand with each other since the dawn of our nation. Our guest today, Charlie Varron, is a part of that. An on-stage performer who found his theatrical home in the Bay Area, Charlie stars in a production called The Great American Shit Show, which uses monologues chock-full of humor that examine America in its current political climate, while providing you with the laughter you need to distract yourself from the nuttiness in Washington, at least for a few hours.

San Francisco has a way of impacting all your senses: the beautiful sights of the city, the smell of the ocean air at Pier 39, the warm taste of sourdough bread, and the feel of the cold fog nipping your nose on the coast. But nothing captures the Soul of San Francisco quite like the sounds it has produced over the years. Ever since the Summer of Love and the birth of the San Francisco Sound, the City has boomed with a vibrant musical culture that rivals anywhere else in the world.
Our guest today, Rudy Colombini, is the creator of the Music City Hit Factory on Bush St. Rudys dream is for Music City Hit Factory to “honor and reignite the rich musical history of San Francisco and foster the burgeoning renaissance in musical talent while offering a space to unite, educate, mentor and entertain musicians of today and tomorrow.”

Unless your name is a Smith or a Jones, there is a good chance that you have had your name mispronounced at some point in your life. For our guest Irma Herrera, mispronounced names carry a much deeper meaning. With a 30-year background in civil rights law, Irma has gotten a firsthand view of the cultural, social and societal struggles in America, and the impacts those struggles have had on the changing world. Her experiences led her to write and perform her own one-woman show, “Why Would I Mispronounce My Own Name,” which shines a light, and some shade, on the assumptions around names, where they come from, and what they mean. You can catch her next show on Sunday, October 13th at 7pm at the Marin Center’s Showcase Theater.

It’s been 55 years since America was introduced to The Beatles, changing music forever. The musical writings of John Lennon and Paul McCartney had multiple generations of Americans hooked on the British Invasion. In the years since The Beatles, their music has lived on through hundreds of different tribute bands and songs. One of those bands is lead by Joe Anastasi, our guest today. Joe’s band is not your typical Beatles tribute band though. His show, Stroll Down Penny Lane, focuses on the songwriting brilliance of Paul McCartney with a masterful blend of music and visuals guaranteed to leave you fully entertained.

In the 2 years that I have been doing this podcast, I have had the joy of learning firsthand of the wine and craft beer revolution that has swept through the Bay Area over the last few years. None of our guests truly represented this movement quite like Noel Diaz. We last had Noel on to discuss the making or organic wines, and in the process learned how Noel turned a small group of wine lovers into a large collective of wine growers in Richmond known as Purity Wines. Noel returns today to talk about how his business has grown in the last year and a half, and the many more exciting things Purity Wines.

50 years ago, America and the world stood transfixed as Niel Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon, inspiring a generation of wonderment and achievement. This podcast is a collection of people's stories from that day. Each story is different, but captures how we can all be interconnected by one moment.

On this weeks episode, we break down how exactly one can lose over a billion dollars in 10 years, as well as the idea floating around that includes privatizing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The California Association of Realtors backs a new tax credit, and ReMax and Redfin are ending a partnership after it barely began.
Instead of a property analysis this week, Brian talks about his latest investment ventures: Gas Stations.

This week on Keeping it REALTY, we discuss one of the greatest threats to Californias future: NIMBYs. They may come off as complainers simply looking out for their neighborhoods, but the “Not In My Backyard” phenomenon is starting to cause serious harm to the State of California and exacerbating the housing crisis.
We break down the NIMBYs arrival on the scene, and the real world consequences that their actions are causing.

Zillow and Compass Real Estate have opened up a new era of real estate competition, and the housing crisis is having serious consequences on Bay Area living.
Instead of analyzing a property this week, we also take an in-depth look at one of the biggest problems the Bay Area has ever faced: the dreaded NIMBY. Can they be reasoned with? Or will their stubbornness spell doom for the future of the Bay Area.

Also, the City of San Francisco is taking over its own Housing Authority. Will it lead to better housing policy, or will half of it disappear in the snap of a finger?
Meanwhile, Millennials aren't getting involved in the stock market, meaning everything is NOT perfectly balanced, as all things should be. And robots are coming to the Real Estate Universe! How long until Vision is helping you process transactions?
Finally, we analyze an 8-unit property out in Fairfield. Fairfield happens to be Marc's home, and it was beautiful.

The Bay Area is a unique sports market with 6 different professional sports teams for fans to follow and root for. While much can be made about the Giants and 49ers in San Francisco, the City of Oakland has played a major role in crafting its own contributions to the history of Bay Area Sports. That is all set to change soon, with the impending moves of the Oakland Raiders and Golden State Warriors to Las Vegas and San Francisco respectively, on top of the ongoing saga of the Oakland A’s Stadium Hunt. These moves are striking at the heart of Oakland sports fans, who are some of the most loyal and passionate fans out there.

It all started over a cup of coffee. Both Stephanie Castaneda and Jeanette Valdez had similar goals of starting their own businesses in fields that allowed them to follow their passions. These two met and quickly formed a supportive friendship as two young Latina-American women hoping to carve out a spot in the world of fashion and cosmetics. They may make it look easy, but they will be the first to tell you it was anything but. Today, Stephanie and Jeanette join us on the podcast to talk about their businesses, Munecas Vintage, and Labio Mios, as well as the challenges they faced as two Latinx women trying to start their own brand in today's America.

America is not just a land of opportunity, but a land of second chances. But not all second chances are created equal, and for some, they can be hard to come by. For a single mother overcoming abuse and/or addiction, that second chance can seem impossible to achieve. That is why people like Kim Carter, our guest today, are so vital to the community. After dealing with her own bouts with homelessness and addiction, Kim found her second chance and turned it into the Time For Change Foundation, which works to get homeless mothers off the street and reunified with their children. A true agent of change, Kim works hard to ensure that no mother has to choose between getting the help she needs and keeping her children.

Crime dramas are a staple of American television culture. For decades, shows like CSI, How to Get Away with Murder, Magnum PI and many others have captured our imagination and given us a peek at the world of criminal science. But like with anything you see on TV, what happens in these shows is not always the same as what happens in real life, no matter how “accurate” the shows may seem. Our guest today is Jennifer Mihalovich, a DNA Technical Leader with the Oakland Police Department for almost 20 years. In total, Jennifer has over 35 years of experience in forensic science. Today we are going to have her shed some light on the real world of forensic crime solving.

We also talk about the prospects of rebuilding Paradise, as well as pick Kerri’s brain about her favorite board game, Monopoly.

Very little is more important for your overall well-being than your mental health. Yet, mental health and the issues that can arise from it are still not always taken as seriously as they should in today's society. People everywhere are dealing with issues, and simply telling someone to “get over it” is not how it works. Today, my guest is Dr. Sheila Addison, a therapist who specializes not just in family matters, but in counseling LGBTQ patients as well. With 21 years of experience behind her, we talk to her about mental health in America today, as well as the misconceptions that society has about communities that struggle every day with their well-being.

Last week, the United States Government released a report with some of the starkest warning yet of the risk of climate change and the impact it could have on our country and planet. Most of those effects have already been felt here in California, where winters are becoming warmer, and wildfires are becoming larger and more destructive. The basic principles of climate change are simple, but some of the deeper science and impacts can be complicated. Today, we talk to Faith Kearns, a scientist at the California Institute for Water Resources, about our changing climate, water shortage and other ways a warming planet will impact California.

It’s becoming all too normal in the Bay Area lately: you look up, and instead of blue sky or fog, you see nothing but smoke. Governor Jerry Brown said the other day that massive wildfires and smoke filled skies are becoming the “new abnormal” here in California. The environmental impacts of these wildfires run deep, but they also could have a significant impact on housing here in the Bay Area. Today we welcome Colin Davies from Security Pacific to talk about how Bay Area housing is impacted by all the smoke. We also do a quick recap of the midterm elections impact on housing, and look back 10 years ago at a time when the country was in the middle of a massive recession.It’s becoming all too normal in the Bay Area lately: you look up, and instead of blue sky or fog, you see nothing but smoke. Governor Jerry Brown said the other day that massive wildfires and smoke filled skies are becoming the “new abnormal” here in California. The environmental impacts of these wildfires run deep, but they also could have a significant impact on housing here in the Bay Area. Today we welcome Colin Davies from Security Pacific to talk about how Bay Area housing is impacted by all the smoke. We also do a quick recap of the midterm elections impact on housing, and look back 10 years ago at a time when the country was in the middle of a massive recession.

We live in an era of breaking barriers. Men and women everywhere are taking on jobs that 20 years ago they never might have considered. Our guest on the podcast today is Sam Gubera. At 27 years old, she has already established herself as an elite level farrier. A Farrier is a craftsman, or woman, who trims and shoes the hooves of horses. It’s not a job most people think much about when it comes to working with horses, but is an important job nonetheless. Today Sam talks to us about what it means to be a farrier, and how she broke into a field once dominated by men and taken it by storm.

Like any city, growing up in Oakland can have its challenges. For Pendarvis Harshaw, he turned his experiences of growing up in Oakland into the book “OG Told Me,” a collection of advice he got over the years, in hopes of passing that knowledge down to kids to make their growing up experiences a little bit easier. Today we have him on the podcast to talk about his book, and dive into his experiences in Oakland and how he hopes to see a better world for the next generation of Oakland youth.

We are just 13 days away from the mid-term elections, when Californians will decide the fate of Costa- Hawkins. Voting Yes for Prop 10 will overturn Costa-Hawkins, allowing cities to implement rent control however they want. Voting No on Prop 10 will keep the current status quo. Recently, Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society at UC Berkeley released a report stating why rent control is needed. Today on Ask Marc Anything, I take a look at this report and give my thoughts on it, as well as point out the flaws in the findings of the report.
Growing up in Richmond can be hard for a child. At least it was for a time. We’ve talked to many people who have helped changed Richmond’s reputation for the better. Our guests today, David Rosenthal and Peppina Liano are the latest guests we’ve had that fit on that list. In 2004, David Rosenthal founded Richmond College Prep with the hope of providing the youth of Richmond a secure, safe location to build their education and achieve a life they could once only dream about. Today, we sit down with David and Peppina, who is the school’s CEO, to hear the incredible story behind the schools founding, and the impact it has had on the community around it.

Her works over the years have covered all sorts of scientific advancements, outdoor activities, medicine and the environment. This past summer has seen her spending hours in Northern California covering the wildfires ravaging the state.

The 2018 election is just a month away, and as you probably know, California’s Prop 10 is among the biggest issues on the ballot. Each day you’re probably seeing ads saying that Prop 10 won't solve the housing crisis, or Prop 10 will help out low-income families. So what will California look like after the Prop 10 vote? We ask Cynthia Peterson of Alain Pinel Realtors, and Eva Elderts of Duhdam Real Estate, to weigh in on the issue. We also dig more into the current Bay Area housing market, as well as discuss up and coming neighborhoods in the region.

Last winter, we had Nick Ishimaru on the podcast to talk about A Noh Christmas Carol, a retelling of the classic tale with a mix of traditional Japanese theater forms of noh, kyogen, kabuki and avante garde dance. This year, Nick has another play set to release at the Theater of Yugen: Seen /By Everyone, which opens this week on October 5th. This production takes a look at how the world expresses emotions of grief and loss, but through the hyper-connected world of social media. We’ll talk to Nick about the production of the play, as well as how he brought the themes explored into the story.

We asked comedian Chris Riggins what his funniest bathroom story was. His answer did not disappoint.
Now that marijuana is legal in California, there are a few misconceptions about it that need to be addressed.
- The term "Market Correction" has been used on this podcast a lot. What does a Market Correction mean? 2. What does it mean to sell a foreclosure? 3. What Bay Area city would you consider an "up and coming" place to live?
The Bay Area housing market has been scorching hot over the last year, as high demands and low supplies have created a seller’s market unlike any seen in over 10 years. But in August, this trend started to slow. As prices trickle downward and selling slows, is this just a temporary hiccup, or a sign of something else to come? Today we welcome back Alex Lopez to talk about how recent housing trends could impact the future market.

With 6 professional teams and several Division 1 college sports teams, the Bay Area Sports Scene is one of the largest and most vibrant in the country. In the last 60 years, Bay Area teams have combined to win 18 championships, and numerous other incredible seasons. With so much greatness, the athletes who made it possible had to be remembered. That led to, in 1980, the establishment of the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame. But BASHOF is more than just honoring sports legends. It’s also about giving back to the Bay Area community. Today, our guest is Kevin O’Brien, president and CEO of BASHOF, to talk about the impact sports has had on Bay Area culture, and how BASHOF strives to get the youth of the Bay Area involved in sports as a way of bettering their lives.

A good Realtor has their finger on the pulse of local real estate trends. Part of the reason I started this podcast was to showcase these real estate professionals.

Ever wonder what the world looks like from above? Usually you need to be looking out a small airplane window to get that kind of view.

Ideally, renters should not have to pay more than 30 percent of their annual income on rent. Unfortunately, that idea is not always a reality. To combat that, California Senator Kamala Harris is proposing the Rent Relief Act, which would provide low income families that are paying more than 30 percent of their income to rent a tax credit to offset those payments. Today on Highest and Best we welcome back Eric Meyers of WestPro Realty. We get his thoughts on how the Rent Relief Act might impact the Bay Area housing market and how it might fit in with the upcoming Costa- Hawkins vote this November.

Everything starts as an idea. For Alex Nerguizian, his idea was to start a food truck that sells gelato and espresso. For a while, this idea was just that, an idea. Until it wasn’t. Alex decided that the time for talking about his idea had come and gone, and now, he owns and operates Nissa Espresso and Gelato Bar, which made its debut on July 4th at the Berkeley Marina. Today we talk to Alex about how he made his dream a reality.

I started this podcast to showcase the various communities I work in and what makes those communities unique. I manage many properties in Richmond, and it is no secret that Richmond’s past has cast the city in a negative light. I’ve had several guests come on in the past, Melinda McCrary and Bill Lindsay, whom have played a role in making Richmond a better place to live over the past decade. Today, our guests are Cici Gordon and Stephanie Medley from the Ryse Center. Located on Macdonald Ave and 41st St, the Ryse Center provides the local youth a safe location to learn about the community and the world around them, giving them the tools to shape their own future. For the last 10 years, Ryse has steadily made Richmond a much better place to raise a family. Ryse is a program that everyone in Bay Area should know about, and today we talk about just some of the many great things the Ryse Center does.

A home is one of the most expensive and important investments you will make in life. So when buying, you will want to make sure that the home you are getting is up to code and be a warm, comfortable place to live in.

My guests today are Kimberlee Lizarraga and Dave Lovelace with HomeGuard.

Rarely does a week go by when the California Housing Crisis is not brought up. This week is more of the same, as once again, more and more news is coming out regarding Bay Area residents leaving the Bay Area, citing the high cost and lack of housing available. Today on Highest and Beat, we have Steve Peterson of Infinity Investments. For the past 10 years, Steve has been one of the more involved real estate professionals in the Bay Area market. We ask him why he thinks residents are being crunched out of the Bay Area, as well as what can be done to keep them from moving. We also discuss commercial real estate, as well as his involvement in the California Association Real Estate Brokers, which seeks to provide opportunities for minority brokers and home buyers.

For the past 19 years, Congressman Mike Thompson has represented the 5th district of California in the US House of Representatives. One of the first moves he made when he joined The House was to create the Congressional Wine Caucus, which is composed of over 140 members of Congress, and works to educate the American People on the importance of wine growing in America, while working to fight for the rights of American Wine Growers everywhere. Today, Congressman Thompson is our guest, and we will talk to him about his involvement in the Wine Caucus, and what it is doing to help wine growers. We will also dive into the political process itself and get a first-hand account of what life on The House Floor really looks like. This is a can’t miss episode that we hope you find not just entertaining, but informative and educational.

There are many ways one can be a leader, but not every way is an effective method of leading. There are many aspects as to what makes a good leader, and one of those traits is listening. Our guest today is Shane Safir, who wrote the book “The Listening Leader: Creating the Conditions for Equitable School Transformation.” Her book focuses on primarily on education and the educational system, but her takes on leading and listening can still be applied to many different fields. Today, we talk with Shane about the importance of listening as well as the effect that it can have on those around you, and the educational system.

Ask Marc Anything:
Today Marc talks about various marketing and business topics, as well who to trust with a home inspection. Have a question for Marc? Let us know in the comments now.
1. Marketing is a must in business but time is an issue. I only have a time budget for one. Should I do a Podcast or should I create videos?
2. I self manage my rentals, but I am looking for new property management software to help me get organized. What software do you recommend?
3. I’m buying a multi-family building. Should I get a home inspection? If so, who do I go with?
On June 5th, Bay Area voters will be faced with a decision, and not just in primary elections for several state leadership positions. Next months ballot includes Regional Measure 3, which seeks to raise bridge tolls by $3 to help funds 35 projects that include expanding and fixing highways and improving mass transportation. This would give Bay Area transportation a much needed boost and could bring even more people to the Bay Area. But is this the correct way to do it? How would this move impact housing and living in the Bay Area. Today we have Zulien Morales from State Farm to talk about how Regional Measure 3 could impact the real estate market in the Bay Area.

Back before there was Garage Band, Audacity or other digital audio editing software and programs, there were music synthesizers. Chances are you have seen a movie or heard a song that utilizes a synthesizer. From rock bands like The Who and Rush, to creating the classic sounds of R2D2, synthesizers have played a major role in creating the sounds of pop culture. Our guest today is Lance Hill, curator of the Vintage Synthesizer Museum in Emeryville. This is not your average museum however. His massive collection of synthesizers are all live and able to be rented out to artists looking to add that special sound to their tracks. Today, Lance joins us over the phone to share the story of how his love music synthesizers turned from a small obsession, to a lifetime of work and accomplishment that he hopes to share with the world.

Going over a few common questions I get:
1) Tenant has given their notice to vacate. Gave notice in the middle of the month to leave at the end of the same month. Tenant is on a month to month agreement. Is the tenant required to give a 30-day notice?
2) How should every seller prepare to sell their home?
3) What’s the biggest overlooked item from investors buying multi-unit buildings?
Going over a few common questions I get:
1) If a neighborhood 'appears' to be dangerous, is the landlord suppose to disclose criminal/drug rate information to the tenants if asked?
2) Can a landlord raise my rent in the middle of my lease?
3) Can a tenant be held responsible for a complaint (made by another tenant) without any substantial proof?

The Bay Area, like any other metro area in America, is changing. Some of these changes impact who lives here, or how people go about their lives while they live here. Todays episode of Highest and Best focuses on some of these changes. We talk with Keith Robinson of NextHome Real Estate, which is utilizing new technologies and methods to help clients find their dream home. We also dig into changing demographics in the Bay Area, as well as how an expanded BART service could impact the Bay Area.

When one thinks of smoked meats, you can’t fault them for thinking of meats from Texas or other parts of the south here in America in terms of where the best meats come from. What you may not know however, is that there is a great source of smoked meats just north of the border in Canada. Earlier this year, Lex Gopnik-Lewinski brought that taste of Canada to the East Bay, opening up Augies Montreal Style Deli in Berkeley. As our guest today, he’ll tell us the story of how he brought this smoked taste of Canada to the Bay Area.

Each guest has had the same thing to say about the city: That it is becoming a better place to live and is a city on the rise. Today, we have on the man who is responsible for that: Richmond City Manager Bill Lindsay. Last month, Bill announced his retirement, leaving behind a city that was posting all-time lows in crime and unemployment.

Growing up in the Bay Area, you learn a lot about the many ways the history of the Bay Area has impacted the rest of the world. In fact, many social movements that changed our country originated right here by The Bay. Social culture is not the only thing the Bay Area has provided the world. The Bay Area, especially the East Bay, saw the rise of a musical revolution that began in the 1970’s: The introduction of Punk Rock. Today on the podcast, we have East Bay natives Corbett Redford and Anthony Marchitiello, whom wrote, produced and directed the documentary Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk, which captures 30 years of punk rock history. One the headlining films in the Albany Film Festival, we discuss their documentary, as well as their time growing up in the East Bay and the influence it had on them.

The Bay Area Real Estate Market is always changing in some way or another. The latest change could come in the form of rent control. The future of Costa Hawkins could rest in voters hands this November. If it is repealed, it could have major implications here in the Bay Area.

Every year, the Albany Film Festival brings together filmmakers from around the Bay Area to share their own works of film. For 8 years now, the Albany Film Festival has showcased the best of what amateur film makers have to offer. After starting off with one film in a theater with free popcorn, the festival has grown into a week long affair with a diverse collection of movies. Today we welcome Naomi Sigal, the coordinator for the festival, as well as Jack Kenny and Ellen Toomey, to talk about how the festival has grown and impacts the community. And to be clear, this is Albany, California, not Albany, New York.

For this episode, instead of the usual Highest and Best episode we release on Wednesday’s, I decided to do an #AskMarcAnything episode. As a property manager, many landlords will ask me how to properly prepare their rental to list on the market. It’s very similar to preparing your home to sell. In this episode, I break down some techniques and give you tips on how to prepare your rental property whether it is a single family home, condo or multi-family building.
RENTING OCCUPIED OR VACANT
Always Rent Vacant
Property is empty, appears bigger
No mess or personal distractions to prospects
Awkwardness of walking into random people’s home
Allows for simple and good looking 3D virtual tours
Allows for staging
Easy for prospects to measure
Easier to show = More showings = If more demand then higher price
Occupied By Owner
Sometimes due to budget or other reasons, cannot vacate prior than being on market
If you have a manager, leave during showings
Similar to selling home
Allow flexible showings times
If not flexible on time, create open house blocks
Occupied by Tenant
Reduce turnover by showing a rental occupied by tenant
Troublesome if tenant refuses entry = notices = will you evict?
Difficult setting up showings
Same issues as previously mentioned with owners
CURB APPEAL AND INTERIOR APPEAL
Curb Appeal
Lawn - Cut It
Landscape - Keep landscape looking good. No need for big upgrades
Trend is moving to low maintenance
Drive up to other rentals or homes for sale, take photo and compare to your home
Exterior of building
Windows/Doors/Garage Doors and anything visible
Multi Family (MF) - Building appearance to neighborhood
Interior Appeal
If vacant, look at needed repairs
Colors - Dont forget paint job and neutral colors
Staging
Matching Look - Cohesive
Matching features - fan in each room? Cable in each room?
PROPERTY CLEAN UP
Exterior
Cut the lawn & handle landscaping
Trim bushes and cut back tree branches
Schedule landscaping as owner - avoids violations & headaches
Garbage/debris cleaned up
Replace anything missing - garden lights/backflow caps
Interior
If occupied, clean up all mess (clothes, toys, counters, etc)
If tenant occupied, difficult - cant force cleanliness
Broom swept condition is good enough, full cleaning prior to tenant
Light bulbs

AskMarcAnything | Are real estate agents sales people or consultants? Many consumers view real estate agents as nothing more than sales people. They are viewed as only trying to make a commission check. But I believe that we have been seeing a lot of changes in the 21st century and a trend of agents becoming more like consultants. Here I break down the difference and how the future of an agent will change.

AskMarcAnything | Despite the technological advances we have made as a society, the majority of the public does not understand how the technology works. We know what it can do and how it can help our lives but for the most part we do not know how cookies, IP addresses, and other “behind the scene” data work. Some companies and marketing firms use this ignorance to their advantage by selling off a perception of “good work” when it is fake marketing. Here I explain how some companies do this.

AskMarcAnything | The real estate industry has operated in a very traditional way with real estate agents being self-employed independent contractors. However, companies like Redfin have been making the news recently with their recent IPO and a valuation of $1.73 Billion. The controversial question is, should real estate agents be employees to the broker? Here I go into detail as to why I believe the future brokerage will be a hybrid of the traditional and new model.

AskMarcAnything. Real Estate is a tough business. When competing for a listing, you are sometimes up against 5 or more other agents. If you are new to the business, or very young to be taken serious by many, it becomes even tougher to win a listing. I dealt with the same issues when I started. Here is my advice on how to win listing presentations every time.

The old adage is that the Bay Area lives within a bubble, with so many people leaning the same direction both politically and socially that contrasts with much of the rest of the country. That can make it difficult to find and learn more about opposing viewpoints. My guest today, Helena Brantly, decided to combat that with Uncharted: The Berkeley Festival of ideas. She has also spent considerable time in the publishing business, working with noted publishing company HarperCollins before starting her own publishing company, Red Pencil Public Relations and Marketing.

AskMarcAnything. I began my real estate career in 2003. I have helped owners and buyers in over 900 transactions and currently manage over 300 rental units. I love my career so much and have easily clocked in 60 to 90 hour work weeks. I have experienced “burn out” many times. I was recently asked about this “burn out” and how to cope with it. Here are my $0.02.
AskMarcAnything. The City of Richmond has recently passed one of the strictest rent control ordinances in the State of California. As a property manager and Realtor whose office is located in Richmond, CA, I was in the center of a heated debate. Now that the ordinance has passed, I am often asked if the recent passage of the ordinance has hurt my business.

AskMarcAnything. Real estate agents are allowed to call themselves a “Realtor” when they join the National Association of Realtors and subscribe to the Code of Ethics. The Association of Realtors is broken up into State Associations and Local Associations. As of today, I currently serve as a Director for my Local and State Associations. But many real estate agents do not understand the benefits of our associations. So I am here to answer my “WHY.”
