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.
