   The Root of Nevada's Housing Problem

   Housing affordability is one of Nevada's biggest challenges. But according to Dr. Shawn McCoy, the conversation cannot stop at high rents, high prices, or frustrated renters and buyers. To understand what is really happening, you have to look at supply. In Southern Nevada, developable land is limited, land prices are high, construction costs remain elevated, and new housing is not always being built where affordability pressure is most severe. That creates a structural challenge for the entire housing market. When supply is constrained, policy choices become even more important. Well-intentioned ideas like rent control may appear to address affordability on the surface, but they can also reduce the incentive to build, limit future inventory, and create unintended consequences for renters, landlords, developers, and communities. In this Best Of episode, we revisit a powerful segment from our conversation with Dr. Shawn McCoy, Director of the Lied Institute for Real Estate at UNLV. He explains how land scarcity changes housing economics, why supply-side policy can help lower rents and prices, and why REALTORS® need to understand the relationship between land, development, investment, and affordability. This conversation is a reminder that housing policy is never just about one number. It is about how the whole market responds, and whether the choices being made today create more housing opportunities tomorrow. You'll learn: Why land supply constraints change the economics of housing How limited developable land affects rents, prices, and investment Why new housing supply matters for affordability How rent control can create unintended consequences in constrained markets Why supply-side solutions can help lower rents and prices Why REALTORS® should understand the policy forces shaping housing availability Guest Bio Dr. Shawn J. McCoy, who was born and raised in Las Vegas, NV, is the Director of the Lied Center for Real Estate in the Lee Business School at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). At UNLV, he is responsible for leading the Lied Center's agenda of excellence in teaching and forging strategic partnerships to bring together real estate researchers, students, and industry and community leaders. Dr. McCoy also conducts policy-oriented research addressing issues that affect the real estate industry and public policy.

   How to Adapt in the Age of AI

   Real estate is changing quickly. Technology is moving fast. AI tools are becoming more accessible. Business models are shifting. Consumer expectations are evolving. And for many real estate professionals, it can feel overwhelming to know what to pay attention to, what to try, and what to ignore. For Mike Sherbakov, the answer starts with adaptation. In this Best Of episode, we revisit a timely segment from our conversation with Mike Sherbakov, founding general partner of The Veteran Fund and longtime partner of Nevada REALTORS®. Mike explains why the biggest opportunities ahead will belong to the people and organizations willing to adapt, experiment, and stay open to change. He shares why industries that refuse to evolve risk being left behind, how real estate professionals can think about new technology without getting overwhelmed, and why AI does not have to be complicated to be useful. Instead of trying to master every new tool at once, Mike offers a simple starting point: use AI once a day. Ask it a question. Improve an email. Learn something new. Explore how it could support your business. The goal is not perfection. The goal is to start building comfort with tools that are already changing how people work. For REALTORS®, this conversation is a reminder that the future will not reward professionals who wait until everything feels familiar. It will reward the ones who are willing to adapt, learn, and take action before they feel completely ready. You'll learn: Why adaptability matters in a changing real estate industry How technology and AI are reshaping the way professionals work Why waiting until you feel ready can leave you behind How to start using AI without getting overwhelmed Why small daily experiments can build confidence with new tools How REALTORS® can stay relevant by staying curious and open to change Guest Bio Mike Sherbakov is the CEO of Greatness Ventures, supporting impact-driven leaders and brands. He has led the business accelerator to thousands of investor members and hundreds of companies in their impact portfolio. Their venture philanthropy arm has built homes in underdeveloped communities since 2014 and continues to lead impact trips open for the community to join. He serves as General Partner at The Veteran Fund, a pre-seed venture capital fund in Silicon Valley, and Director of San Diego's Founder Institute, the largest early-stage startup accelerator in the world. Mike has previously founded three startups (HMS Fitness, Karuna Towels, Greatness Media), helped grow two companies from 0 to $20M+ valuations (Wildfire and NurishMe), and consulted with large companies including Fitbit, lululemon athletica, Equinox, and Qualcomm. He served on active duty as a United States Marine, graduated Magna Cum Laude from San Diego State University, has traveled to 58 countries and counting, and believes that our greatness is not what we have but what we give.

   The Daily Habits That Can Change Your Real Estate Business

   Real estate success is not built by accident. It is built through the small things agents do consistently. For Cyrus Mohseni, that starts with learning, discipline, and daily action. When he got into real estate, he knew he had to learn the business from the ground up. So he read, listened, asked questions, studied contracts, talked to people, and committed himself to getting better every day. That same mindset became the foundation for the 90-day challenge he now recommends to agents. In this Best Of episode, we revisit a practical segment from our conversation with real estate executive, coach, speaker, and entrepreneur Cyrus Mohseni. Cyrus shares why REALTORS® need to keep learning, keep showing up, and keep doing the basic activities that create future business. He breaks down the daily habits that can help agents build momentum, including posting on social media, moving their bodies, reading, adding contacts to their database, reaching out to referral partners, practicing gratitude, engaging on social media, door-knocking, and having real conversations about their business. The challenge is not supposed to be easy. It is supposed to build discipline. For agents who feel stuck, inconsistent, or unsure what to do next, this conversation is a reminder that business growth often comes from getting back to the basics, and doing them long enough for the compound effect to kick in. You'll learn: Why daily learning matters for real estate professionals How Cyrus thinks about business growth in 90-day cycles What daily activities can help agents build momentum Why social media, database growth, and conversations work together How discipline creates more opportunity over time Why consistency matters more than occasional intensity Resources Check out https://nevadarealtors.org/ and don't forget to leave a review if you like what you heard.
