A look back at the winding path to Realtor of the Year becomes a tribute to the people who made it possible—mentors who shared their wisdom, brokers who invested their time, family who carried the emotional weight of an unpredictable career, and clients who trusted the process. From basement training sessions to late-night calls, the journey highlights lessons in resilience, gratitude, and growth and serves as a reminder that every milestone rests on the shoulders of those who showed up, poured in, and believed long before the recognition arrived.

Buyer traffic is surging again in the Upstate, with crowded open houses, renewed demand for larger lots, and activity levels that look more like early spring than late fall. But the market data is telling a slower, more cautious story. Inventory continues to climb, months of supply are rising, and affordability remains stuck just shy of the ideal threshold—even as mortgage rates ease and buyer behavior shifts.
The growing disconnect between real-time market energy and the broader statistical trendlines. From year-over-year listing spikes to unusual seasonal patterns, it breaks down the numbers shaping the current landscape and the signals worth watching as the year winds down.

Local elections just reshaped the landscape in Greenville, Greer, Easley, Travelers Rest, Simpsonville, and even at the state house level—and the ripple effects won’t just be political. This episode breaks down what flipped, who got voted out, and how those decisions could impact growth, new development, impact fees, housing affordability, and ultimately what it costs to live and invest in the Upstate. From anti-growth backlash to a state house race decided by just 20 votes, Stan unpacks why these “small” elections matter way more to your daily life and real estate than most people realize.

Every generation makes its share of real estate mistakes. Boomers often overpay for upgrades they could easily add. Gen X gets stuck chasing the “perfect” down payment. Millennials keep waiting for a 2008-style crash that never comes. And Gen Z? They fall in love with fixer-uppers they can’t actually fix. This episode breaks down those common traps, what they cost, and how to avoid them—plus shares insights from a recent discussion with Congressman William Timmons on the ongoing government shutdown and its potential impact on housing.

Greenville home style refresh, coming in hot. In this episode, Stan rapid-fires through ten design trends on their way out (hi, barn doors and two-tone cabinets) and the ten replacing them—like wallpaper accents, creamy whites, light floors, smarter tile, and real home offices. If you’re selling, flipping, or building in the Upstate, these shifts can mean faster offers and fewer buyer turn-offs.
Learn which colors, trims, and finishes are resonating with Greenville buyers right now, the ceiling and wall paint trick designers are using to make rooms feel bigger, and the kitchen choices that help listings pop without scaring off half your buyers. Stan also breaks down why wide-open plans are fading and what “flow plus airy” looks like instead—along with what homeowners actually prefer between dining rooms, eat-in kitchens, and island living.

Greenville’s at a crossroads. Stan and City Council candidate Tina Belge get practical—and spicy—on safer streets and bike lanes, a smarter trolley, “mini-downtown” neighborhood nodes, freeing up food trucks, and real housing fixes (missing-middle, ADUs, land trusts, tiny homes, faster permits). They also hit roads funding, water/sewer capacity, rebuilding the tree canopy after Helene, and why childcare is economic infrastructure. Conversation, not an endorsement—just a lively, useful listen for voters and curious locals.
You can find out more about Tina Belge at https://www.tinabelge.com/, or you can contact her directly at tina@tinabelge.com. And if you live in the City of Greenville, the election is November 4, and early voting starts October 20th!
