Ten years on local radio teaches you something: communities run on people who keep showing up. We’re celebrating a decade of the George Real Estate Group Radio Show on WHKP, and we start with a clear update on the Henderson County real estate market. Yes, interest rates are higher, but homes are still selling, inventory is still tight, and the biggest shift many folks feel is time, with longer days on market and a longer path from listing to closing. We talk through what those local numbers can mean if you’re buying, selling, relocating, or planning an investment move.

Then we spotlight a Hometown Hero who’s putting gratitude into action. David Lewkowicz joins us to share the story behind the Seventh Annual First Responder Day of Thanks, a community effort that provides free breakfast, a catered lunch, and a family meal for first responders across Henderson County. David explains how the idea took shape in 2020, why it resonated, and how it has grown into a well-run event powered by sponsors and more than a hundred volunteers.

We also dig into a practical model that goes beyond one day: a 24-hour responder room designed as a place of rest, food, and encouragement, now expanding into Buncombe County and available for other churches to replicate. If you’ve ever wondered what meaningful first responder appreciation looks like on the ground, this conversation makes it real.
