Although she believes that the food should be front and center, Cynthia DeFranco (better known on Instagram as Long_Island_Foodies) is no stranger to the influencer grind. With thousands and thousands of followers, she visits different eateries all over Long Island to not only show us what food we're missing out on, but to help highlight some of Long Island's best cuisine. I got to sit down with her and talk about her experiences when it comes to getting into the social media scene, working collaborations with restaurants, and how videos like hers really can change people's lives - don't miss it!

There isn't a single person working in real estate on Long Island that doesn't know the prestigious Beth Lowe. Over the last 15 years she's received numerous awards and taken on multiple positions of leadership, helping fellow industry members by working towards better conditions for everyone. I got to sit down with my friend Beth to talk about the changes coming to the industry, her thoughts on what skills agents should practice moving forward, and whether wallpaper is back in style or not.

Diane Manders is the Director of Real Estate and Home Ownership at Habitat for Humanity Long Island, which basically means she is on the front lines of the nightmarish housing crisis that has been exponentially worsening on Long Island over the last few years. She is extremely knowledgeable in the intricacies of Long Island real estate, in many ways more knowledgeable than for-profit real estate professionals, because she was to find more creative ways of sourcing land and constructing homes. Few people can truly say they're fighting for the working people of Long Island, but Diane is most certainly someone who can.

Today's podcast is one we never thought would really happen, even though we'd been talking about it for years. Bill Schwegler is a great friend, and a titan of the mortgage industry on Long Island. Listen to hear about his decision to join forces with another industry legend: Sal Rizzolo. I have no doubt in my mind that together these two will be a truly unstoppable force in the mortgage arena.

On today's episode of the Handsome Homebuyer Podcast, we're continuing with the trend of interviewing my friends from the gym. Unsurprisingly, Nick Rizzo is something of a jack of all trades, and master of a couple trades as well. He enjoyed a few years as a competitive body-builder, he's currently diving headfirst into the the realm of mixed martial arts, and the videography career he began as a small hobby on the side has blossomed into a full-fledged business, leading him to partnerships with massive fitness brands and world famous celebrities. He's also funny, which made this interview more fun.

Having trouble understanding the use of cap rates when valuing commercial property? Well it just so happens that I'm here to ease your worries, and to give you a basic rundown of cap rate. It can be somewhat confusing, but ultimately it's just a method of valuing commercial property, and comes down to a few simple equations.

Calling him a wizard with an ink needle is barely scratching the surface of Nico Negron's skills when it comes to tattooing. I may not have any tattoos, but his art speaks for itself.

Marketing can be a big challenge for many realtors, and perhaps for good reason. A lot of the marketing advice online is needlessly complicated, and may increase brand awareness, but still hardly helps in bringing in more leads. Well, with this talk I gave at the real estate office of former UFC champion and current Long Island Realtor Al Iaquinta, you can understand the simplicity of successful marketing, that requires little more than a solid work ethic and an internet connection.

Today I'm joined by Trudy Losee and Danielle Aglio, the hosts of Long Island's hottest new real estate podcast: Chaos to Closing. I've been encouraging realtors to start podcasts for years now, and only a few have followed through with it. Trudy and Danielle realized the immense marketing power that a podcast offers all on their own, but they are still living proof of all the incredible opportunities a podcast can bring to realtors, or any business owners for that matter. Check out this latest episode of The Handsome Podcast to learn about everything that lead to their decision to start The Chaos to Closing Podcast, what many are describing as the greatest Long Island Real Estate Podcast to hit the scene in years.

Short sales are a very intricate and tough process for everyone involved. However, there are some people who are pros at getting people through them.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the most money is in the things that are NOT sexy. Nobody knows this better than someone like Marla Cohen, who along with her brothers runs an extremely lucrative business buying and selling scrap metal. We talk about their family's scrapyard successes, how Hempstead made us both tough, and...zodiac signs?

The new rule about zero percent commission listings has the potential completely disrupt the real estate industry, but is that necessarily a bad thing? In this video I'll cover all the ways the 0% listing will change things, and all the things agents can do not just to prepare for it, but how to thrive in this new and unfamiliar market

How will the new zero percent listing change the way deals are made in New York? I sat down with my good friend Kevin Leatherman, a seasoned real estate veteran and president-elect of LIBOR, to see if he could help me understand the many changes that are sure to follow in the wake of the zero percent listing.

Does Kenny Hirsch have the most beautiful smile in all of Long Island real estate? It's very possible. Is he the most popular man in Long Island real estate? Probably. Does he know what he's talking about? Absolutely! Beyond the handsome face and charisma there's someone truly passionate and knowledgeable about our industry, how else would he be on track to close over 60 deals this year alone? Kenny has a fascinating life story, going from a professional BMX rider to a top Long Island realtor, using the same love for adrenalin and adventure in each pursuit.

Today's guest is none other than Matt Porcaro, the man leading a revolution with the power of the 203k loan. An engineer by trade, Matt is an expert at figuring out the small details that make big processes function, and he's done just that with the 203k loan. The 203k is notorious for being extremely confusing, which deters a lot of people from harnessing its true power, and what Matt has done with The 203k Way, by simply and consciously explaining the loan, is nothing short of philanthropic.

I had the privilege of first meeting today's podcast guest at a masterminds conference in Texas, and right away I knew he was somebody I could learn a lot from. After he left the Marine Core in 2001, Tim Herriage went on to flip over 2000 houses, attain the illustrious title of "Number 1 Homevestors Franchisee in the Country", be the first hire at Blackstone's "B2R Finance" (which later became Finance of America), and be appointed as the executive director of RCN Capital. And that's just scratching the surface.

Dan O'Neil started in this business in just that way, but with knowledge and good advice he was able to grow his team and become a household name in multiple parts of the country.

I've often wondered what happened to the great night club scene that Long Island once had to offer, so when Breeze reached out to me after I recently made a video on the subject, I knew I had to have him on the show. It's always great learning more about other industries, and when it comes to the clubbing industry, there's perhaps no greater teacher than John Breazzano AKA Breeze. On this episode of the podcast, we get into the past, present, and future of Long Island's nightclub scene, as well as Breeze's own rise from throwing keggers in the park to promoting some of the hottest clubs in the country.

For someone so young, Vanessa Lotito is quite relaxed and sure of herself. One could easily mistake her musings on living a stress-free life for those of a far older person, and yet they come from this 25 year old, top Long Island realtor, it's truly no wonder she was able to secure a spot on the LIBOR 20 Under 40 list with only 2 years of real estate under her belt. Vanessa displays a much sturdier sense of emotional maturity when compared to other people her age, and frankly when compared to most people not her age as well. It is unfortunate that all of this is cancelled out by the fact that her favorite ice cream flavor is plain vanilla soft-serve, but we'll get into that on the podcast.
