À propos de ce contenu audio

Keeping It Real Estate is a real estate storytelling podcast that pulls back the curtain on what actually happens between “in contract” and “just sold.”

Hosted by Monica Wason, broker and owner of M² Realty Group, this show features real transaction stories shared by Monica and the agents of M² Realty Group. Together, they unpack the real work behind buying and selling homes across Monterey County, Salinas, and California’s Central Coast.

Each episode highlights honest, behind-the-scenes conversations about real estate transactions — from first-time home buyers navigating inspections and appraisals, to sellers facing unexpected issues mid-transaction, to veterans and military families relocating or using VA home loan benefits.

You’ll hear real stories about:

  • Inspections that change everything
  • Deals that almost fall apart
  • Appraisal and financing challenges
  • Strategic negotiations for buyers and sellers
  • The experience it takes to guide clients through complex transactions

This podcast is especially valuable for home buyers, home sellers, first-time buyers, veterans, and anyone considering buying or selling real estate in Salinas, Monterey County, or across the Central Coast.

No fluff.
No filters.
No hype.

Just real stories, shared by real agents, about how real estate actually works — and what it takes to get deals across the finish line.

    • 🎙️ S1 E6: A Broker & REALTOR® Perspective — Leadership & Expectations
      Feb 17 2026

      What truly separates a broker’s responsibility from a REALTOR®’s day-to-day reality?

      In this episode of Keeping It Real Estate, Monica Wason, Broker-Owner of M² Realty Group, sits down with Agent Steven Rodriguez for a direct, unscripted conversation about real estate leadership, brokerage expectations, and agent growth.

      From broker liability and decision-making…
      To the production pressure and client demands agents navigate daily…
      This dialogue explores both perspectives with clarity and respect.

      At M² Realty Group, culture, accountability, and access matter — and this episode reflects the type of broker-agent transparency that strengthens a real estate brokerage.

      No corporate scripts.
      No rehearsed answers.
      Just honest insight into what leadership should look like — and what agents truly need to succeed.

      If you’re evaluating brokerage culture, support, or your next level in real estate, this conversation offers perspective from both sides of the table.

    • 🎙️ S1 E5: How One Lender Can Derail an Entire Real Estate Transaction
      Feb 10 2026

      Everything looked right on paper.
      The offer was accepted.
      The deal was moving forward.

      Then the lender became the problem.

      In this episode of Keeping It Real Estate, Salinas-based broker Monica Wason sits down with Omar Gonzalez, Realtor at M² Realty Group, to expose how one lender can derail an entire real estate transaction — often quietly, and often too late for buyers and sellers to recover.

      They break down real situations where lender missteps, poor communication, and last-minute surprises put deals at risk deep into escrow. What starts as a “special program loan” quickly turns into mounting pressure, missed timelines, strained negotiations, and transactions hanging by a thread.

      This conversation pulls back the curtain on what buyers and sellers in Salinas, Monterey County, and the Central Coast rarely see: how much power a lender truly holds — and how the wrong one can cost time, money, and sometimes the deal, or deals itself.

      If you think all lenders operate the same, this episode will challenge that belief. Because in real estate, the deal doesn’t always fall apart at the beginning — sometimes it unravels right before the finish line.

    • 🎙️ S1 E4: Why Inspections Matter: 67 Gas Leaks After Closing
      Feb 2 2026

      The deal closed. The keys were handed over.
      Then, just three days later, the truth came out.

      In this episode of Keeping It Real-Estate, Broker/Owner Monica Wason sits down with REALTOR® Juan Orozco to unpack a real transaction where 67 gas leaks were discovered after closing — and why this kind of outcome is exactly what home inspections are meant to prevent.

      They walk through what inspections actually reveal, how critical issues can hide in plain sight, and why first-time home buyers are especially vulnerable when they don’t fully understand the inspection process. You’ll hear how inspections can protect your finances, your safety, and your peace of mind — and when they give buyers the power to renegotiate or walk away before it’s too late.

      If you’re buying your first home, thinking about making an offer, or already under contract, this episode may change how you look at inspections forever.

      Listen before you buy.
