Keeping it Real Estate (M2 Realty Group)
Keeping It Real Estate is a real estate storytelling podcast that pulls back the curtain on what actually happens between “in contract” and “just sold.”
Hosted by Monica Wason, broker and owner of M² Realty Group, this show features real transaction stories shared by Monica and the agents of M² Realty Group. Together, they unpack the real work behind buying and selling homes across Monterey County, Salinas, and California’s Central Coast.
Each episode highlights honest, behind-the-scenes conversations about real estate transactions — from first-time home buyers navigating inspections and appraisals, to sellers facing unexpected issues mid-transaction, to veterans and military families relocating or using VA home loan benefits.
You’ll hear real stories about:
- Inspections that change everything
- Deals that almost fall apart
- Appraisal and financing challenges
- Strategic negotiations for buyers and sellers
- The experience it takes to guide clients through complex transactions
This podcast is especially valuable for home buyers, home sellers, first-time buyers, veterans, and anyone considering buying or selling real estate in Salinas, Monterey County, or across the Central Coast.
No fluff.
No filters.
No hype.
Just real stories, shared by real agents, about how real estate actually works — and what it takes to get deals across the finish line.

🎙️ S1 E3: When the Property Line Isn’t Where You Thought It Was
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when a property line isn’t where everyone thought it was — and you’re already in the middle of a seller transaction?
In this episode, host Monica Wason, Broker-Owner of M² Realty Group, is joined by REALTOR® Sergio Ruiz to break down a real sale that took an unexpected turn when a boundary line issue surfaced mid-transaction.
What initially appeared to be a straightforward listing quickly raised serious questions that could have impacted the value of the property, buyer confidence, and the future of the deal itself. Monica and Sergio walk listeners through how the issue was discovered, why it mattered, and the steps taken to protect the seller while keeping the transaction on track.
They discuss disclosure responsibilities, communication with all parties, and why experience matters when real estate problems can’t be solved with a simple repair or quick fix.
This episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at the realities buyers and sellers don’t always see — the problem-solving, strategy, and decisions that happen when unexpected challenges arise.
No hypotheticals. No fluff. Just real stories from real transactions in Salinas and Monterey County.
