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.

On this Saturday and Sunday show, join Rey and his special guests—Donna Jones White, owner of Santa Fe Vacation Rentals, and Ned Jacobs, a principal at the Quezada Jacobs Allstate Insurance Agency, for a conversation about current real estate and business issues, as we approach the end of the 1st quarter of 2025.

Santa Fe Vacation Rentals, LLC, Update:

Besides speaking to the show theme, Donna will also review the home rental services that her company offers to domestic and international clients. In addition, Donna will discuss how she and her colleagues are constantly working to provide their clients—via the ATRE radio show and other communication tools—the most accurate news and data regarding the finest property rentals available in the city. Whether it is for a vacation destination, a furnished 30-day, or a long-term unfurnished property, Donna’s firm is well-known for offering some of the best options to visitors who make Santa Fe a destination. As one of the most popular commentators over the years on the ATRE radio show, Donna is offering her quarterly observations throughout 2025, on a variety of important Santa Fe real estate and business issues.

Insurance Update In Real Estate:

Besides addressing the general theme of the show, Ned will also speak to insurance issues that are important to home owners, buyers, sellers, renters and business owners in 2025.

Of particular focus, Ned will speak to his long-time efforts to share information about resources and tools offered by Allstate that enables homeowners to take preventive measures for their homes and yards, to protect against wildfires. Ned will emphasize that this topic is such a serious one for all homeowners in our region, that empowering them to learn more about taking action, truly works. Below—in another section of the email blast—Ned is offering additional information on wildfire prevention and fire proofing.

Ned will also offer information on how his clients can learn what the process is for filing a claim with Allstate, including tracking and settling the claim. And Ned will also review the value of insurance, as it offers protection and manages risk for consumers.

The Quezada Jacobs Family Allstate Insurance Agency, offers a range of products including home, condo, renter, auto, life and business insurance, designed to protect a consumer, personally and financially. In 2025, Ned has returned as a quarterly commentator on the ATRE program, offering answers to insurance questions that emerge throughout the year. Speaking to the value of working with Ned’s insurance agency, here is a testimonial from one of his happy clients.
