“My whole mission is just to affect positive change with people, and housing is such a key component to people’s health, well-being, and safety.” -- Andrea Prince

According to Nashville's 2021 Affordable Housing Task Force, chaired by Mayor John Cooper, the city must create 52,498 new housing units by 2030—a daunting challenge, given that only 1,344 affordable units were being built annually at the time of the report.

Today on The Real Estate Mailbag, we're joined by Matthew Wiltshire, President of Pathway Affordable Housing Corp. and former Chief Strategy Officer at MDHA, Andrea Prince, Executive Director of Rebuilding Together Nashville, and Joshua Haston, Development Manager at LDG Development, LLC and Board Member of the Nashville Industrial Board. These leaders share their personal journeys and insights into tackling Nashville’s housing crisis, discussing innovative city tools and divisive zoning proposals debated in Metro Council. They also explore the impact of Tennessee’s new “home bond” bill on affordable housing.

Tune in to understand why affordable housing isn't just crucial for your future, but for the future of Music City itself!

The conventional wisdom in real estate is that social media is increasingly important. However, understanding what social media is and how to be effective with it can be a complex topic. Many real estate professionals fail to take the most important step: getting started.

On this must-listen edition of the Real Estate Mailbag, presented by Wagon Wheel Title, our hosts and distinguished guests explore the fascinating role of social media for real estate professionals. Kortney Wilson of The Kortney Wilson Group with Compass, Maria Recio with Compass, and Marie Lee with REAL Broker are three of Nashville's leading social media influencers in the real estate space, with follower counts to prove it.

From teaching us about the pros and cons of various social media platforms (including their agreed-upon favorite) to explaining how algorithms work, and recommending equipment and software for creating and editing content, to helping real estate professionals discover which approach is likely to pay dividends, this educational experience is not to be missed from some of Nashville’s true gurus! 🏡

“There is no silver bullet to adding value to your house. All of the things that give you a list of ‘do this one thing’ – they are lies, and they are clickbait.” — Peter Matteson

On this episode of The Real Estate Mailbag presented by Wagon Wheel Title, our hosts and distinguished guests explore the topic of home renovations. Murn Roberts with the Morrell Property Collective at Compass, Jacob Jones with MW Real Estate and Peter Matteson, co-founder of Greenwood BAM, share the good, bad, and the upside down of buying, selling and actually doing home renovations with the focus on speculative renovations that are being offered for sale. Our panelists guide us through the analysis that goes into any renovation, and share with our listeners how they navigate the many decisions inherent in the remodeling process. Our guests also share their biggest mistakes, their home runs, and the criteria that now guide their decisions. Our guests candidly, and often humorously, share their hard-won insights and opinions, especially with respect to budgeting and return on investment, various current design trends, and why they love what they do even when it’s hard.
