On the show airing this Saturday and Sunday, join Rey and his special guests—Stephen and Domenic Etre, co-owners of Stephen’s, A Consignment Gallery, for a conversation about real estate and business issues, inspired by Thanksgiving.

As SymbolSage tells us—Thanksgiving is more than just a time to feast; it’s steeped in symbolism that captures the essence of gratitude and togetherness. From the iconic turkey to the cornucopia and even the pumpkin pie, each element has a story to tell. The holiday and its elements highlight our appreciation for bountiful harvests and blessings, which are at the heart of the celebration.

Rey, Stephen and Domenic will speak to the specialness of the holiday, as it helps to underscore the importance of unity in our work and day-to-day lives, especially during our current polarized times.

Stephen’s, A Consignment Gallery Review:

Stephen and Domenic Etre will share their 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 winter. 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.

Stephen and 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 and his father and business partner—Stephen Etre—are among the longest serving corporate supporters of ATRE. Together—Domenic and Stephen are trusted commentators, offering valuable content on the radio show each month.

Reflections On The Brokers And Listings Of Sotheby’s International Realty:

Rey will share his thoughts on the professional expertise, knowledge and commitment of his fellow associate broker colleagues at Sotheby’s International Realty, as well as the quality of the listings that the company offers to home buyers who wish to make Santa Fe their home.

By Rey Post
Associate Broker, Sotheby’s International Realty
Host of the “All Things Real Estate” Radio Show
September 21 & 22, 2024

The “All Things Real Estate radio show airs this Saturday, September 21 (3pm Mountain Time) and Sunday, September 22 (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.

On the show airing this Saturday and Sunday, 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 begin the fall season.

According to the National Weather Service, there are two times a year when the Earth’s axis is tilted to a point where there is “nearly equal amount of daylight and darkness at all latitudes.” The apparent equal hours of daylight and darkness result from the refraction of sunlight, or the bending of light’s rays. This refraction causes the Sun to appear above the horizon when it is actually below the horizon.

During the autumnal equinox—one of the two dates cited by the National Weather Service—the Sun crosses the celestial equator going from north to south. In the Northern Hemisphere after the autumnal equinox, the days begin to get shorter as the winter solstice gets closer.

Santa Fe Vacation Rentals, LLC, Update:

Besides speaking to the show theme—of how the fall season impacts her business—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 2024, on a variety of important Santa Fe real estate and business issues.

Insurance Update In Real Estate:

Ned will reflect on fall season-related insurance issues that he believes are important to home owners, buyers, sellers, renters and business owners. Of particular focus, Ned will 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 as we close out the month of September.

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 2024, 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.

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.

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.

Rey’s weekly real estate recommendation offers news and information on a variety of home buying and selling, community, and business issues–as well as world events—that impact the lives and work of consumers and real estate professionals. Since “everything” is real estate–in one way or another—Rey’s commentary is intended to offer a perspective that speaks to a range of topics, no matter their origin. For this week, Rey highly recommends that you tune in for the show that Ron Blessey is hosting.
