Real estate tips, haunted houses, closing day chaos, and some seriously juicy stories? This episode has it ALL!

Krystal & Jennifer chat with David Brunelle of the Law Offices of David Brunelle and James Butterworth, from The Generation Group at Coldwell Banker Realty, for an episode packed with valuable advice, behind-the-scenes stories, and plenty of laughs!

We kick things off with some exciting Collab & Cocktails updates, including upcoming events and sponsorship opportunities, before diving into the world of real estate, law, and entrepreneurship.

Ever wondered why you need a real estate attorney when buying or selling a home? What exactly does a Realtor do behind the scenes? And here’s a spooky one for October… do you legally have to disclose if your house is HAUNTED?

We’re covering all of that and more, including common bankruptcy myths, hilarious closing stories, helpful homeowner tips, marketing strategies, and the realities of running your own business.

And trust us, you’ll want to stick around until the very end because Dave spills some tea that you won’t want to miss!

Whether you’re buying, selling, thinking about becoming a homeowner, running a business, or just love a good story, there’s something in this episode for everyone.

Grab your favorite cocktail and join us for an entertaining and informative conversation. Cheers!

Krystal and Jen are collabing with Aiden McDonald — Director of Multimedia at Visual Sound Productions and President of the Young Professionals Society.

Aiden shares his journey into the world of videography and what led him to where he is today, along with why investing in professional video content can elevate your business and why it’s just as important to balance that with real, authentic content that connects.

We also get into Aiden’s decision to take a break from social media, the benefits, the challenges, and what he learned - plus an honest conversation about hustle culture (especially from a male perspective) and the pressure it creates.

Of course, we talk networking, why it matters at every stage, how to actually enjoy it, and how groups like The Young Professional Society are making events more welcoming, fun, and inclusive for everyone.

Expect tons of local shout-outs (you might even hear your name), a behind-the-scenes look at the Visual Sound space and what it can be used for — from podcasts to events — and, as always, plenty of laughs and relatable stories along the way!

Grab a drink and join us for a fun, real, and insightful conversation 🍸
