Welcome to another episode of C21 Drive Time, Lloydminster's go-to podcast for everything real estate. In this episode, Aaron Rawlake and Ryan Topley discuss the often-stressful topic of homeowner insurance. As homeowners, we all know the importance of having insurance, but what happens when you need to make a claim? It can be a daunting and overwhelming experience. As realtors, Aaron and Ryan get asked a lot of questions about insurance, from replacement costs to documenting belongings. They share their knowledge and experiences to help alleviate some of the stress associated with home insurance. If you're a homeowner, it's crucial to have insurance. However, it's equally important to understand what your policy covers and what it doesn't. Aaron and Ryan offer some valuable insights on how to navigate the insurance world and make the best decisions for your home and family. Remember, if you have any questions about your insurance policy, it's always best to check with your insurance provider or an insurance expert. Don't forget to leave us a review and subscribe to the podcast for more insightful conversations about all things real estate. Thank you for tuning in!

One of the goals of our podcast is to collect the amazing stories of the people who make up our community. This week's interview is with one of the most unique people in Lloydminster, Mr. Hai Ma. Joined by his daughter Eliza van Assem, Hai sits down and shares his journey with Ryan. Starting out in his home in Vietnam, Hai relates how, on April 30th of 1975, the government took over his family business, and put him in jail. From there he escaped from jail, spent time drifting at sea, managed to survive both in the jungle and on a remote island, ended up in Indonesia where a Canadian immigration officer helped sponsor him, and eventually Hai ended up in Lloydminster. This story has so many twists and turns, and is drenched in both fantastic and horrible luck - you have to listen to this one!

Lloydminster is going to be the host of the 2024 Saskatchewan Summer Games, and the Games Manager for the event, Nicole Clow, was in our studio last week to chat with Aaron Rawlake and Ryan Topley. They cover a lot of ground, including: Nicole's history getting into games management, How she has moved 10 times in the last 12 years, Her work as Games Manager for the 2020 Saskatchewan Summer Games that were canceled, Coming back to Lloydminster, The challenges of running an event like this in the border city, What goes into bringing 1,800 athletes to Lloydminster, and What about our city makes it special. It's an interesting conversation whether you are a sports fan or not! * Century 21 Drive -> https://www.facebook.com/C21Drive | https://www.instagram.com/century21_drive/ Aaron Rawlake -> https://www.facebook.com/AaronRawlakeC21 | https://www.instagram.com/aaronrawlake_c21/ Ryan Topley -> https://www.facebook.com/RyanTopleyC21Drive | https://www.instagram.com/ryan.topley.realtor/ Saskatchewan Summer Games -> https://saskgames.ca/summer | https://www.facebook.com/2024ssg If you want to hear more local real estate insights and news, be sure to Subscribe to our podcast.

This week we continue to get to know the team at Century 21 Drive! Ryan Topley is in the hot chair, as Aaron Rawlake gets him to share his story of breaking into the Real Estate industry. Ryan is a born-and-raised Lashburn boy, his family farmed just north of town in fact. His road from there to Century 21 Drive has seen him overseas, working in Grand Cayman, working at a gym in Red Deer, and more! Some of the interesting insights that come from this conversation include: Real Estate mindset (sometimes you just have to be silly), Being available, not only for your clients but for your colleagues as well, Being able to find the information you need, Learning from a quality mentor, The importance of knowing people in the community, Putting in the work, The challenges of running your own brokerage, Why Ryan came back to Century 21, The validity of expertise, and The value of working hard and putting in the effort. Ryan tells a story well, and he'll make you laugh while you learn. Give it a listen! * Century 21 Drive -> https://www.facebook.com/C21Drive | https://www.instagram.com/century21_drive/ Aaron Rawlake -> https://www.facebook.com/AaronRawlakeC21 | https://www.instagram.com/aaronrawlake_c21/ Ryan Topley -> https://www.facebook.com/RyanTopleyC21Drive | https://www.instagram.com/ryan.topley.realtor/ If you want to hear more local real estate insights and news, be sure to Subscribe to our podcast.
