PR Web Press Release On-line for "Houston Real Estate TODAY!" Radio

Houston Real Estate TODAY" radio show airs on CNN 650 AM in the Houston market and on-line. The Houston real estate market has a range of dynamics that are of interest to home buyers, investors, the Realtor(r) community, and service providers to the industry. The show was created to appeal to the local and national market, for those who are actively reviewing and studying the Houston market.

Houston, Texas (PRWEB) November 8, 2007 -- Many Houstonians are proud of their city and the thriving business environment that has led to the nickname, "The Make It Happen City". Steve Levine, Publisher of "Real Estate Executive" magazine (a publication owned by Sunshine Media) has been passionate about featuring top Houston Realtors® on the cover of his magazine. Past cover honorees have featured Ronnie and Cathy Matthews (the #1 Realtor in the city), David Flory (#3), Bruce and Diane Kink (of The Woodlands), Rob Cook (Chairman of the Houston Association of Realtors 2007), and more. His desire was to put these stories on-line for others to read (the magazine has purposely limited distribution), which lead to the creation of his blog feature www.SteveLevineMedia.com and that blog has garnered the interest of radio personalities and real estate professionals and consumers locally and nationally.


"We had the desire to create an open platform to talk about our real estate market. Typically on the radio you have a real estate agent or one builder talking about themselves or the same thing that is discussed on every other show and we wanted to share great information with today's real estate consumers and industry professionals from Houston's top agents, builders, and service providers in the market" says Mr. Levine "we also know that people are moving to Houston and we wanted people to know more about what is happening in our city from the buyer to the seller."

urbanFINANCIAL Mortgage Banking and Brokerage is underwriting the show and Rene Salvatierra, President will co-host the show with Mr. Levine twice a month. "The show had appeal to us, because it gives us access to the discussion about Houston real estate" says Mr. Salvatierra. The show will be a platform for those who are studying and watching the dynamic Houston market. "All of our shows will be video recorded and placed on-line with hyperlinks to audio streams" says Mr. Salvatierra "We want to hear from anyone who has something valuable to share in the dialogue" says Mr. Salvatierra.

Mr. Levine is proud of his 23-member Publisher's Advisory Board, all influential professionals in real estate. "We have access to plenty of real estate experts and we think our show will be a truly unique in that it represents a true convergence of media to include web, print, radio, events, networking, and strategic media partnerships," says Mr. Levine. "The guests of the show will represent the 'Best of the Best' in real estate," Steve ads.

Steve Kay of Steven Kay Media (www.StevenKayLive.biz) will produce the show for "Houston Real Estate Today". For more information, please visit: www.HoustonRealEstateToday.com

“Houston Real Estate Today Radio Show” With One Week to Go Before the Show….


A week ago, my partner, Andy Valadez and I jumped on the chance to partner with local radio show host, Steven Kay of Steven Kay Media for him to produce my own weekly real estate radio talk show "Houston Real Estate TODAY!".

I have been on the other side of the microphone several times in the last 6 months (once on television) and was pretty comfortable answering questions. So, I figured, all I have to do now is be the one asking the questions. How hard could that be? I interview our cover stories for the magazine each month.

But as this week of mentoring with Steven, working with Andy on press releases and lining up our first guests, I have come to realize that this transition is not unlike being a frequent flyer and one day, you decide that if you can be a passenger, maybe you could pilot the plane…,what was I thinking???

As excited as I am about this opportunity, I am (in direct proportion) nervous about it as well. Remember, there are no rehearsals for a radio show, it is a "live" show and there is not time to “rehearse” as all time on the air is taken each day!

So, here I am one week before the show with some great coaching from Steven, but unsure if I am not the proverbial “old dog” learning some “new tricks?”

What I have learned, is that there is A LOT more to hosting a radio show that I ever anticipated.

But, everyone that I have talked to about the show, has told me “You are going to be great at hosting!” Are they setting their expectations too high for me or do they know something about me that I don’t?

In either case, we have a great line up (Ronnie Matthews/RE/MAX Legends, Rita Santamaria/Champions School of Real Estate and Rochelle Barrow of Royce Builders.com) who are joining Co-host and sponsor, Rene Salavatierra/Urban Financial and I on the show. They are all “Big Fans” of each other and probably do not even need me there to get them talking and have a great dialogue on real estate today.

Maybe that’s the ticket!

Stay tuned, gang!

Next Friday (November 9th) at 1pm on CNN 650 News Radio.
