Anna Bishop & James Harvey Jr. - Episode 45 Jul 26, 2021

Show notes

This week in Episode 45 we feature Key Exchanges with two Realtors that aren’t even a decade into their career yet and they have already garnered some of the top reputations in the Memphis real estate community.

Our featured partners this week are Memphis Title and Community Mortgage.

Anna Bishop with Crye-Leike’s Arlington office is 6 years into her real estate career and was ranked as the #8 individual agent based in Memphis by volume in the most recent Real Trends rankings. Her path to real estate wasn’t really ever in the plans though as she was fully established in her medical career when she made the switch but her relentless work ethic made the transition incredibly rewarding.

James Harvey Jr. with Keller Williams just celebrated his 5th year in the business and has earned a reputation as one of the rising stars in the luxury real estate space. He has been able to successfully transition from his life in athletics to running a phenomenal real estate team that is making waves with some of the highest priced listings in our region and he’s just a supremely impressive guy.

Our first featured partner this week is Memphis Title Company. If you would like to discuss anything pertaining to the closing process in general or about using them to handle your next closings, feel free to email any of the four talented attorneys.

Show notes

Episode 44 of the show features conversations with two amazing realtors that have some of the more eclectic paths to real estate.

Our featured partners this week are Community Mortgage and Renshaw Company.

Lisa Thomas with BEST Real Estate Company worked as an interior designer, make-up artist, tax consultant, and probably every other job before beginning her 16-year career in real estate. Each of the steps she took along the way shaped her into a phenomenal agent with a wealth of knowledge and I was incredibly grateful to sit down with her on the show.

Adam Fisher with My Town Properties is an agent has consistently been pushed to innovate when his initial strategy didn’t go according to plan. While he has a great number of traditional buyers and sellers that he works with, one of the niches he found himself working in is centered around homes that may need a little bit of love and helping coordinate that construction process either for investors, his own investment portfolio, or for his clients who will ultimately live in the property.

Our first featured partner is Community Mortgage. Help your clients get a $100 Visa gift card by getting an Apples to Apples loan estimate from one of the mortgage pros at Community.

Brad and the team at Choice pride themselves on being able to deliver for their warranty clients and their Realtor partners in ways unmatched in the mid-south.

Our first featured partner this week is Choice Home Warranty. Christy Stokes and Brad Sterling have been serving the home warranty needs of the mid-south for years. While this crazy seller’s market that we are in now may not make including a warranty the easiest of asks, your buyers are still eligible for the preferred real estate product directly through your local choice rep and they’re even able to make payments on it monthly.

Josh Spotts & Jeff Howard - Episode 38 Jun 07, 2021

Show notes

Episode 38 of KE901 was a real honor for me because it features two of the absolute best guys at helping their clients buy and sell real estate in the entire city. They have each built a successful practice that looks very different from one another but the root the matter for both men is that they love helping people.

Our featured partners this week are Renshaw Company and Big League Movers.

Josh Spotts with Crye-Leike Realtors has consistently been one of the highest performing individual realtors in the entire city for a handful of years now. While he has built out an incredible reputation in the luxury real estate space, he’s done so by focusing on serving his clients well regardless of price point and his success has certainly shown that he’s great at what he does.

Jeff Howard is the Broker/Owner of Bluff City Realty that is quickly making waves in their first 7 months in business. His unique path into real estate and then nearly decade long career in the business as an agent prepared him to build a brokerage that is unlike others in the city and we had an awesome conversation about it that you’re sure to love.

To connect with Josh, you can either call his cell phone directly at 901-361-4211 or visit his website at www.joshuaspotts.com .

To connect with Jeff, you can either connect with him on social media @bluffcityrealty or @jeffrohoward or you can email him at jeffhowardrealestate@gmail.com .

Julie Upchurch & Alexis Brown - Episode 37 Jun 01, 2021

Show notes

I had an absolute blast with our two guests this week! Both of the ladies I had the pleasure of speaking with have quickly become powerhouses in the industry and are forces to be reckoned with even though neither one of them has a full 5 years in the business under their belt.

Our featured partner this week is Community Mortgage. Help your clients get a $100 Visa gift card by getting an Apples to Apples loan estimate from one of the mortgage pros at Community. To help your buyers have that extra spending money after closing, have them email ApplesToApples@CommunityMTG.com or call their office at 901-759-4400 and request an Apples to Apples comparison of their loan estimate from another lender.

Julie Upchurch with McWaters & Associates Realtors is 3.5 years into the business and coincidentally has qualified for the prestigious Multi-Million Dollar Club three times as well. She is overwhelmingly charming, freakishly driven, and potentially one of the more likeable people that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in real estate. Preppy blonde girls that have had her level of success typically have haters even without a reason, but I’ve yet to meet a single person that doesn’t LOVE Julie Upchurch.

Alexis Brown with Emmett Baird Realty also has almost 4 years of real estate experience and she’s someone who quickly established herself as the expert when it comes to helping military families relocate to the Memphis area. Alexis quickly found her footing in this niche because it is a path she traveled herself when her husband was stationed in Millington. There’s just something different about working with a professional who knows their stuff in a specific area of discipline and I’d put Alexis knowledge of the military relocation process up against anyone I’ve met.

To connect with Julie you can call her cell at 901-412-0111 or hit her up on Instagram or Facebook by simply searching her name

To connect with Alexis her cell phone is the best way to reach her and that is 901-687-8051.
