If you are building a new home or remodeling your existing one, most cities throughout the country require building permits. If you are one of the lucky ones building in rural areas or in a county that only requires a few permits then just smile and enjoy life while listening to this episode!!

Those of you in the city, here's a person that can make your life so much easier!!! Joining us today is Ramie Elizondo, owner of Permit Pros. She is a permitting professional whose entire job is working to get you that permit in an expedited fashion. With her specialized running shoes, JK, she is online pushing the paperwork or when needed showing up at the permit office with a smile and handling the issues. Money well spent!! Thank you Ramie!

Ever had a tee time scheduled and mother nature has other plans? No worries!! Play that round of golf in your simulator room! The bonus? You can play Pebble Beach, Pacific Dunes, Whistling Straits and more right from the comfort of your home.

Golf simulators have seen tremendous advances in the past few years. To discuss all of that and more we took our show on the road and traveled to Craig Nomes' house, regional salesperson for Full Swing. We had a blast trying out the simulator and practicing our putting on the latest putting green!

Interested in a simulator or do you have a client interested? Craig is more than happy to have you visit his home and give it a try.

When it comes to building a custom home, just remember, this is a prototype! It's never been built before! With that being said, the inevitible will happen and that's what we call a change order. This isn't always a bad thing and those two words more often get a bad wrap!

Today the three of us discuss what change orders are, why they happen, ways to try to avoid some of them and why they have an associated cost to them.
