00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:57.200
night Corey and the Fireflies, and
they did an amazing job. They were

14
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.280
followed by the band Everclear, who
did an amazing job as well. They

15
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.039
always do such a good job at
Grand Falls putting events on like that.

16
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:04.680
But here's the thing that was really
fun. I got to be the MC

17
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:07.959
once again. Thank you guys for
letting me do that. And then as

18
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.560
I was out there, I just
kept bumping into more and more people who

19
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:14.439
oh, hey John from Sonny John. I was talking to all these people

20
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.159
who listen to Sonny you guys.
That warms my heart to know that you

21
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:21.040
listen. I absolutely love that.
So thank you for coming over and saying

22
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.760
hello. And one of the things
that I thought was the coolest. My

23
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:26.359
wife and I, Heidi, was
with me for this. We were talking

24
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:30.680
to a gentleman who said he used
to live in Henderson, Nevada, and

25
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.359
they would listen on the internet to
Sonny Radio in sue Fall, South Dakota.

26
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.640
They decided to come check out sue
Fall, South Dakota and then they

27
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.680
moved here. How cool is that. I think that's awesome. So anyway,

28
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.480
thank you for coming over and saying
hello. That was really really neat.

29
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.879
And speaking of moving, if you
know someone who's moving, I got

30
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.000

37
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:15.439
John and Heidi Show. Insurance.
It's important to have insurance, but it's

38
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:19.960
more important to have the right insurance. After all, if you're not covered,

39
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.680
it's like not even having insurance.
Make sure you're covered for whatever claim

might come your way. With insurance

44
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:46.039
a Monday. Excited to have Brent
Baker join us in the studio. And

45
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.680
Brent usually you come in you're super
prepared. You got all kinds of stuff,

46
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.879
and I caught him very off guard
today, so I said, we're

47
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:55.680
gonna wing it. I'm gonna ask
you some questions. Are you ready for

48
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:02.120
to be grilled by John Small to
fly by the seat of my pants sometimes.

49
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:06.039
Well, yeah, that a lot
is a young man. No,

50
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:07.879
it's amazing. I'm alive. The
thing that I that I think is really

51
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.080
nice. We have known Brent for
several years. Like I said, not

52
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.000
only is Brent an advertiser at the
radio station, but he's our realtor as

53
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.120
well. He helped us buy and
sell our home, our daughter's home,

54
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.639
our friend Dan's home. I mean
so many people and many, many,

55
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:24.879
many others. And we were talking
last week about how many homes he's purchased

56
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:29.120
and helped people purchase and sell.
And he doesn't even know how many because

57
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:30.800
it's a couple. It's more than
a couple, it's a lot. Yeah,

58
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:35.759
But what are some of the big
questions that people ask you, Like,

59
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.240
when people reach out and they're trying
to figure out who am I going

60
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:43.319
to work with for a realtor are
there are there certain things that you kind

61
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.479
of see over and over and over
that people kind of place importance on.

62
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:55.280
Yes, there are. When I
start asking questions, you know, the

63
00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:01.000
big thing is to find out what
the motivation is or why a particular thing

64
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:09.599
is important to them. Is do
they know that it's you know, sometimes

65
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:14.840
people want something but don't know why, or they don't know what they need,

66
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:17.439
and so they need to just sit
and talk to somebody and find out

67
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:23.399
about some things. So sometimes it's
the elderly couple who says it's time to

68
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.680
come off the farm. I don't
need this big house, and so then

69
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:31.560
we talk about what's important to them. How can we make this a place

70
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:36.800
that they can live in for many
years, So it might be no step

71
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:44.040
homes, that type of thing.
Sometimes it's just the fear they get caught

72
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.680
up in the news but forget that
they are living their life every day,

73
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:53.759
and so they may put off buying
a home. Especially young people sometimes put

74
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:59.600
off buying a home but forgetting that
they're paying rent every day, that every

75
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.079
day that goes by is another day
that they've lost and won't get back.

76
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:08.480
And not everybody's ready to buy right
out of high school or right out of

77
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:15.040
college, or even ten years later. But the important thing is that the

78
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:19.680
realtor understand that, but also them
that they do it in the time that

79
00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:26.279
works best for them for their family, you know, or just if they

80
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:30.759
want stability for their kids in a
particular school district. To really ask those

81
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:36.079
questions and sometimes I tend to run
on rather than listen. And I'm not

82
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:41.560
a post or upset when people stop
me and start asking questions, because that's

83
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.680
how we get to the bottom of
the needs, and we want to do

84
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:49.920
what's right for that home buyer or
seller. Why do you want to sell?

85
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:57.079
How does that help you? Where
will you go? Absolutely well,

86
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.759
and everybody's in a different place in
their life life, you know, different

87
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.160
timelines for different people. Like he
said, not everybody wants to or even

88
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.720
is in a position to buy a
home right out of high school. There's

89
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:11.160
some people who are My mother just
recently moved two Sioux Falls and for the

90
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:15.319
first time in her life is not
a homeowner. She's living in an apartment

91
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:18.040
now because that's what was the right
thing for her at this point in her

92
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:23.959
life. And she sold her home. And it was really interesting because at

93
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.199
first I was like, I wonder
how she's gonna like that, because,

94
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.680
like, you know, it would
be hard for me where I'm at in

95
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.959
my life right now to not own
my home, like to rent, But

96
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.800
where she's at, she's like,
I don't have to think about Moen,

97
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:39.319
I don't have to think about Chauvelin. I don't have, and then she's

98
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.839
in a facility where it's a bunch
of other people that are kind of her

99
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:45.800
age and up, and you know, so it fits right in and really

100
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:49.079
enjoys that there are probably other people
in their life right now where maybe the

101
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:53.319
transition is. They had a whole
gaggle of kids that were there, and

102
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.439
one by one they moved on because
they have their own lives. So now

103
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:00.319
they got this giant house and it's
just you know, an empty nester couple

104
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.199
and they maybe don't need that big
of a house, and there are opportunities

105
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:08.480
for them to find another family that
would maybe love that home, and they

106
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:12.480
could find something that suits their current
needs. So when people are reaching out

107
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.480
to you saying, hey, I'm
in this transition, you probably have a

108
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:18.279
lot of people that are reaching out
in transition times in their life. And

109
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:24.000
I like the way that you make
it very easy because when people, you

110
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.120
know, for us, when we
were telling you this is what we're looking

111
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.399
for, you know, and there
were some homes that we looked at that

112
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:30.680
I'm like, I don't even know
why Heidi put that on the list,

113
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.360
but Brent was wonderful. I'm like, you can just tell her. No,

114
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:38.600
if you want to, like,
what are we going to look at

115
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:41.879
this for? But you made it
so easy and it was such a simple

116
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:46.240
process. So as people are going
through those transitions again, for each person

117
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:49.879
it's probably a little different, I
suppose. Well, I think the danger

118
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:57.560
for all of us is that we
were not always listening to the other party.

119
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.839
And so as you talk about your
mother as an example, if you

120
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.600
looked at your mother and said,
well, I couldn't live in an apartment,

121
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.360
I couldn't, well, but you
identified the issue. She's in a

122
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:16.360
different place in life. She needs
social interaction. So being in that building

123
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:20.279
where she has you know, she's
got people that are going to check on

124
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:24.120
her. She can go play cards, she can go do whatever. They

125
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.519
probably have group activities and she loves
that way more than I ever thought she

126
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:33.879
would. Correct. But you're you
know, just like you said, it's

127
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.840
where are you in life? And
I have a friend of mine who's in

128
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:43.559
his eighties. He moved into a
facility mostly to be away from mowing and

129
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.879
snow and, knowing his frail health, thought this was the best thing.

130
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:56.240
He's not super social outside of our
group of guys. When there's a few

131
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:01.600
gals in this community service group.
But he doesn't like to go to the

132
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:07.039
movies or any of that, but
he likes the idea that there's people around

133
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.919
should something happen. If something happens, there's security there. And that's sort

134
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.960
of what your mother really got there. Yeah, with security. If you

135
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:18.720
can't price that absolutely, If somebody
listening is maybe going to be going through

136
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:20.879
a transition in their life where you
know, they've got all this extra house

137
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.879
that they don't need, or maybe
they're having kids and they need more house

138
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.799
and it's time for them to call
a trusted professional in the real estate industry,

139
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.320
I suggest Brent, Like I said, that's who we worked with.

Times out before This Day and Sue
Fall's History brought to you by the

152
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.360
Sux Falls Fun Page, West,
Sue Studios and Sunday ninety three point three.

153
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.720
It was on this day, January
twenty ninth, nineteen oh nine.

154
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:35.679
Sue Falls Lost and up and coming
national renowned hometown author Local author William Lilbridge

155
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:41.399
died of tuberculosis at age thirty one. His historic classics include a steamy romance

156
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:46.159
set in and written in Sue Falls. It's titled The Dissolving Circle. William's

157
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.559
other works include Ben Blair, The
Story of a Plainsman Where the Trail Divided,

158
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.679
and the Dominant Dollar. Ben Blair
and Where the Trail Divides would both

159
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.799
be made into silent Western pictures Now
that happened after Lilbridge's death. Both stories

160
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.360
surely have enough drama to fit right
in. In Hollywood, there were marriages,

161
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.919
divorces, remarriages, murders, and
unfaithful spouses of plenty. It seems

162
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.000
William was way ahead of his time. This day in Sioux Falls History has
