By Rey Post
Associate Broker, Sotheby’s International Realty
Host of the “All Things Real Estate” Radio Show
March 2 & 3, 2024
The “All Things Real Estate radio show airs this Saturday, March 2 (3pm Mountain Time) and Sunday, March 3 (12pm Mountain Time) on Santa Fe’s Talk 1260 AM KTRC and 103.7-FM, and streams on SantaFe.com, as well as via the “Listen Now” link at ATREradio.com.
Each month, the program features its main host and Sotheby’s International Realty Associate Broker—Rey Post , or other real estate professionals who also host their own version of the program. Since 2009, the show’s hosts—joined each week by a variety of guest commentators—have made ATRE a favorite weekend destination for listeners from all over the country.
This weekend, join Rey and his special guests—John Grisak, owner of three roof restoration companies (including Fix My Roof, LLC), and Domenic Etre, co-owner of Stephen’s, A Consignment Gallery.
March 3rd is 93rd anniversary of former President Herbert Hoover signing a law, making “The Star-Spangled Banner” our national anthem.
In a nation where freedom of expression is not simply a value, but a right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, the anthem has become a song through which many of us express our own perspectives on the American experience. The anthem actually represents the voice of the American people.
So, in recognition of this anniversary—and given we are in a major political campaign year—Rey, John and Domenic will use the anniversary of the song becoming our nation’s anthem, to talk about the unique democratic values we are lucky to have in the U.S. They’ll note how these values have helped to generate success in real estate and other business activities around our nation.
2023 Roof Restoration Maintenance Update:
John Grisak will speak to the show’s theme, and also speak to the efforts of his teams in their residential and commercial roof restoration efforts, as we begin March. In addition, John will update the audience about developments with his other business: the Eternal Spring Institute for Wellness. John will also review the services offered by the three companies he owns: Fix My Roof, LLC, Fiddler Roofing NM, and Zia Insulated Foam Roofing, as well as the home and commercial construction services offered by Forsite Construction, LLC. Fix My Roof, LLC, is committed to restoring existing roofs for a fraction of the cost of roof replacement while maximizing a positive impact on the environment by embracing environmentally responsible practices and educating the greater community about environmental stewardship.
Headquartered in Santa Fe, the roof restoration companies owned by John Grisak, are well-known for serving their residential and commercial customers in Santa Fe, Los Alamos, El Dorado, Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Cochiti, Las Cruces, Alamogordo, Silver City, and many more locations.

Stephen’s, A Consignment Gallery Review:
Domenic will share his thoughts on the show theme, and also offer news about the gallery’s on-going special events and estate sale services, as we move towards the spring. For decades, the 14,000 square foot gallery has been a place for those seeking a wide variety of unique items, including furniture, antiques, art, estate items, jewelry, and home accessories. Domenic will also speak to the gallery’s proud tradition of “giving back” to Santa Fe, including its support of local charities, as well as cultural and educational organizations. This is reflected in the gallery team’s deep commitment to building local, and sustainable community relationships. Domenic’s father and business partner—Stephen Etre—is one of ATRE’s longest serving corporate supporters. Together—Domenic and Stephen are trusted commentators, offering valuable content on the radio show each month.
