This weekly radio show features host and Sotheby’s International Realty’s Associate Broker Rey Post (NM REC License #45660), as well as variety of special guests who offer news, information and commentary on current real estate, business, and community issues, important to homeowners, buyers and sellers.
The “All Things Real Estate” (ATRE) radio show meets the standards established by the New Mexico Department of Health as an “essential business” (real estate-related and radio service), as defined in the state’s March 23, 2020 public health emergency order relating to the presence of coronavirus. As such, ATRE is committed to bringing timely and informative content to the public from some of the nation’s best business, non-profit, community, and real estate leaders. The guest commentators on this week’s show are emblematic of the quality of professionals who have helped to make ATRE a destination that people from all over the country turn to each Sunday.
In the first hour of the show, join Rey and his guest co-host Stephen Etre, owner of Stephen’s, A Consignment Gallery, for a discussion of the gallery’s annual “Fall Sale” event, being staged on both Saturday and Sunday. Rey, Stephen, and their guests will also note a historic event occurring this Sunday, as another theme for the broadcast.
On October 18, 1954, Texas Instruments announces the Regency TR-1 Transistor radio, making it the first commercially sold transistor radio, selling in significant numbers to people all over the world. With the transistor radio–no matter how isolated you were–music and world news suddenly became portable. It is also claimed that the device helped to further the rock n’ roll music revolution. The anniversary of the transistor radio reinforces another ATRE show theme this week: the value of radio as a medium for sharing news and information with consumers.
Stephen’s, A Consignment Gallery Review:
Stephen Etre, Owner of Stephen’s, A Consignment Gallery, will speak from the floor of the gallery, as he and his team stage their annual “Fall Sale” event. For decades, this event has attracted consumers from all over the country to the more than 13,000 square feet of gallery display space, providing a wide variety of unique items, including furniture, antiques, art, estate items, jewelry, and home accessories. Most of these items are offered to homeowners, buyers, and sellers at reduced prices during the two-day affair. Stephen will also remind the audience that–especially during this popular event, and as we deal with the presence of coronavirus–he and his gallery team are practicing social distancing procedures, to make participation at the event, safe and secure for all their clients. Stephen’s gallery–which has been a part of the Santa Fe community for nearly 40 years–is proud of its mission of “giving back” to Santa Fe, including the support of local charities, as well as cultural and educational organizations. The team at the gallery has a deep commitment to building local, and sustainable community relationships. For more than eleven years, Stephen’s gallery has served as one of the major corporate supporters of “All Things Real Estate,” and has committed to returning to this role in 2021.
Lucky Dog Hi-Fi & Technology Solutions Report:
Truewill Mashburn, co-owner of Lucky Dog Hi-Fi & Technology Solutions, will not only offer his support for the success of the “Fall Sale” at Stephen’s, A Consignment Gallery, but will also reflect on the show’s theme of marking the anniversary of the creation of the transistor radio.

They understand how architecture, design, engineering, acoustics, and technology can all work together to craft a certain outcome. Since January, Truewill and Daniel have served as ATRE corporate supporters and show commentators, offering information on how their firm brings custom technology solutions to homes and businesses.
