In a recent memo to chapter leadership, NAHREP gave the green light to begin planning live events, subject to state and local health protocols. NAHREP will also host its first regional event in Miami on July 13th. The event will take place at the JW Marriott in Brickell and will take on one of the biggest issues facing the industry: housing supply. This week, my wife and I started looking at investment properties in Colorado Springs, CO. Our son will be entering his senior year at Colorado College and we thought we should look into purchasing a single-family home that he and a couple of his classmates could live in; we could rent it out after he graduates next May. We spoke to a couple of local real estate agents and found out first-hand what everyone has been talking about. This is insane…On Friday, a property that looked ideal was listed. The listing agent immediately began scheduling appointments with buyers and selling agents. We were told that all prospective buyers must submit their offer no later than noon on Sunday. Our Realtor® told us that to have a chance, we would have to offer a minimum of 10%-20% over the listing price with little or no contingencies and they were expecting roughly 75 offers. WTH??? This isn’t a hot market; this is a crisis!
I am really looking forward to getting back to live events, and digging into the most challenging issue confronting the real estate industry in over a decade.
To many of us, mass deportations are traumatic and unjust—but they may also force the country to face an uncomfortable truth: our economy runs on immigrant labor. In this episode, I explore how this crisis could spark the kind of national reckoning we’ve needed for decades.
Telling Latinos to prioritize family may sound like preaching to the choir—but when you’re chasing big goals, it’s easy to drift. In this episode, I share why presence isn’t just about responsibility—it’s a source of inspiration, passion, and long-term power. Family and success aren’t opposites—they’re fuel for each other.
Nobody makes it on their own. In this episode, I talk about why generosity—whether it’s time, wisdom, or resources—is one of the most important disciplines we can develop. Latinos are generous by nature, but we often limit that generosity to our families. I share why expanding that generosity beyond our inner circle strengthens our purpose, our community, and our impact.
