Nevada Legislative Session Latest: Tackling the Housing Supply Problem

The Nevada legislative session has reached a key milestone - the bill introduction deadline is now behind us. That means all proposed bills should have been submitted to the Assembly or Senate by now. However, the process isn’t over yet. The bills will now move from the Assembly to the Senate, where they may be amended, and we'll take a look at those changes once they come back. One bill we’re paying close attention to is AB 540. This bill intends to find a solution for the supply side of real estate and encourage move-up home buying, which will free up much-needed entry-level inventory. Ultimately, the supply issue needs to be tackled from multiple angles, and we believe this bill will make a huge difference. What other bills are we keeping up with as an association? In this episode, current Legislative Chair Azim Jessa and past Legislative Chair Keith Lynam return. They talk through the latest updates from the 2025 session. Things You’ll Learn In This Episode -It’s not soup yet Just because we’ve passed the bill deadline doesn’t mean the process is done. What happens next? -We need affordable and attainable housing Housing supply is an ongoing issue that needs to be addressed on multiple fronts. How can the state encourage move-up home buying? -The insurance crisis As homeowner’s insurance becomes harder to get, we’ve seen the rise of fragmented or piecemeal coverage. How would this harm the consumer and our housing market?

Legislative Session Latest: Fire Insurance and Corporate Buyers

We are a third of the way through the 2025 legislative session, and there are a few more key bills we’re monitoring. These bills affect us as real estate professionals, but also protect consumers and support private property rights. A really important bill that’s moving through legislation is centered on secondary fire insurance and how it’s affecting homeowners’ insurance. In light of the recent uptick in fires in Nevada and California, insurance companies are increasing rates or even canceling their coverage. As we know, homes can’t be sold without insurance. This will affect the health of our market and people’s ability to achieve and hold onto the dream of homeownership. The last thing our market and consumers need is a rash of foreclosures because homeowners’ insurance has become unaffordable. How can this issue be addressed? What other bills do we need to be aware of right now? In this episode, Nevada REALTORS® Legislative Chair, Azim Jessa is joined by former Legislative Chair and real estate legend, Keith Lynam. In this weekly legislative recap, we put the spotlight on 4 bills that have come up in the legislative session. Things You’ll Learn In This Episode -Insurance and affordability In the last couple of years, homeowners’ insurance has gotten harder for consumers to get. How does this affect the health of our real estate market? -The problem with limiting corporate buyers While we certainly don’t want Nevada to turn into a town of renters, why is it important not to limit who can buy homes and why? -How to improve our inventory There are many neighborhoods in the state that require revitalization. How can this be achieved? Guest Bio Azim Jessa is a highly accomplished real estate professional, currently serving as the Team Leader and Broker of The Jessa Group at Urban Nest Realty in Nevada.

Real Estate Burnout: How to Succeed Without Breaking Down

Real estate is a high-visibility, high-pressure industry that requires us to go out and create business for ourselves. Unfortunately, the demands of the job often leave agents suffering from burnout and struggling to balance family, business and their wellbeing. How do we break out of burnout and set and achieve our goals but in a healthier way? For better or worse, whatever our current reality is, our mindset got us here. In order to run a business that doesn’t wear us down, we have to fix our mental hygiene first. From there, we can start to set better goals - goals that won’t destroy our health and compromise our families. Ultimately, mindset is the key to success in every area of our lives. We can have all the right real estate strategies in the world, but without mindset, we won’t be able to hold onto that success long-term. How do we get the buy-in of our families in our goals? In this episode, we’re joined by mom, wife, REALTOR® and certified Life Coach, Christal Allen-Harrahill. She shares how agents can avoid the trap of burnout and how to build a business that won’t break you down later. Things You’ll Learn In This Episode -Clear communication = kind communication As agents, we often communicate while trying to manage the other person’s reaction or control the outcome. How do we allow the other person to have the dignity of their own process? -How to collaborate with your family for your success Entrepreneurs often struggle with not being there for their children and disappointing them. What causes disappointment and how can we avoid it? -Work with your fear Most people think they need to avoid fear or shut it down. Why do we need to create a way to process our negative emotions and use them to get better? -Slow down to speed up In real estate, it’s easy to get caught up in the pressure and fast-pace of the business. Could we get better results by slowing down? Guest Bio Christal Allen-Harrahill is a mom, wife, REALTOR® and certified Life Coach. As a REALTOR®, Christal specializes in homeowners looking to sell West of the 15, and buyers looking to buy West of the 15. As a native Las Vegan she’s seen the Valley grow over the years.

Rent Control & Investor Restrictions: These Bills Could Reshape Nevada’s Real Estate Market Forever

On one hand, we can design our schedules and work when we want, but we also have families and obligations at home. This can lead to a lot of guilt about how we’re showing up both at home and at work. We might feel like we’re bad parents for being so driven at work, or feel like we’re slacking at work because of our home life. We often strive to find balance between the two, but that doesn’t exist. Instead we can work towards conscious integration - embracing the fact that life is unpredictable, our schedules can be messy, and that we can still be brilliant business owners. From the conversations we have with our kids to how we set up our schedules, there are ways to get the most out of work and family. How do we overcome the guilt we often feel as parents who want to build great businesses? How do we build unique brands in real estate? In today’s episode, we’re joined by author, entrepreneur, speaker, and founder and CEO of Boss Mom, Dana Malstaff. She shares how we can grow our businesses and still be available for our families (without burning out). Things You’ll Learn In This Episode -Call out the elephant in the room When we’re juggling parenthood with business, we often try to keep the two separate. How do we bring our kids into our businesses and the decisions we’re making? Why do we need to be open about it with clients? -Balance vs. conscious integration How do we create workplaces that embrace the fact that our lives are unpredictable and messy? -How to use a shared vision to find clients When we have a scarcity mentality in business, we think we need to be everything to everyone. Why is niching down a better approach? How do we attract ideal clients on social media? Guest Bio Dana Malstaff is an author, entrepreneur, speaker, marketing expert and the founder and CEO of Boss Mom, a vibrant community of passionate, driven moms who believe motherhood and entrepreneurship can thrive together. Founded over a decade ago, BossMom isn’t just a business—it’s a movement reshaping how the world views moms in business. To learn more visit https://bossmom.com/.

The Biggest Marketing Mistakes Real Estate Agents Are Making, and How to Fix Them

Real estate isn’t just a sales job. In today’s world, the most successful agents are also the best marketers. Unfortunately, many agents are dropping the ball in their marketing, and it’s costing them deals. Between posting content bashing the industry and not providing value to consumers, we’re doing things that actually make people not want to hire us. Agents spend all their time online complaining about changes to the industry, and they don’t realize that the consumer is watching. They don’t care about new laws and disruptions. They care about who is providing them with the most value. They care about getting an experience that’s customized to them. And they have to see this before they even think of hiring you. Instead of complaining on social media, we should be putting out messages that help people navigate the largest transaction of their lives. Why is it critical to improve our marketing? If there will be less agents in the future, how do we build businesses that will stay relevant? In this episode, we’re joined by real estate industry veteran, Nobu Hata. He shares the biggest marketing mistakes agents are making, and how to be more relevant to consumers.

How do we create content that shows consumers that we’re working for them? Re-envision what it means to be a Realtor We’re headed for a future with less real estate agents, more tech and a consumer who is fully in control. How do we get ahead of this?
