BUYING HERE
First-time buyers
What lenders look at, how much cash it really takes to get to the table, and the questions worth asking before you fall in love with a house.

MODESTO & THE CENTRAL VALLEY
Real Estate Jerky is a Central Valley show. Every week Ed Parcaut and Mike Kelly take the housing and mortgage headlines and talk about what they actually mean for people buying, selling, borrowing, and staying put around Modesto. No jargon, no hype, and no pretending a national number tells your street’s story.
Saturday noon · KFIV 1360 AM
Replay Sunday 3 PM · All times Pacific
WHO YOU’RE HEARING FROM
Ed works in mortgage and lending. Mike works in local real estate. Between them you get both halves of the same decision: what a home is worth here, and what it costs to finance it. When something changes, they say so on the air instead of waiting for a headline to explain it.

SELLING HERE
How local homes get priced, what shows up in an appraisal, and why the same house can sit on one street and sell fast on the next.
STAYING PUT
Refinancing, taxes and insurance, seasonal upkeep, and the Home Improvement Tip we share with listeners each week.
