KPHX's Weekend Schedule...
 

Let’s Talk Real Estate Saturdays 10am to 12pm

Straight Talk. No Bull. Join Sonny, Daniella and their favorite lender Jesse every Saturday morning to dish about real estate and lending. We’ll share what’s new in the real estate and mortgage markets, offer valuable insights and tips, and answer your questions on the air. What’s the best strategy to buy foreclosed homes? What’s involved in buying or listing a short sale? How do you take advantage of the various state and local financial assistance programs? You have questions… we have answers!

About Your Hosts

Sonny was born in the Czech Republic and came to the US when he was only one year old. His family initially arrived in Denver where they lived for a few years before finally settling in the San Francisco Bay Area. Sonny’s educational background is in theatre and graphic design. Sonny owned and operated a successful graphic design firm in Seattle for several years before falling madly in love with his partner Emmett and moving to the Phoenix area. Sonny has been a licensed REALTOR^® in Arizona since March 2007. He began his real estate career long before, however, as a property investor in California and later in the Seattle area. Sonny resides in the West Valley with his partner, three cats and five dogs. Sonny is currently a REALTOR^® with West USA Realty.

Daniella was born and raised in Chicago. She graduated from Illinois State University with a bachelor’s degree in Human Resources and a minor in International Business. She started her career with Arthur Andersen as a corporate trainer and then moved on to a software company when Andersen closed (no, she didn’t shred anything!). In 2000 Daniella found her passion for real estate when she started buying and selling investment properties. After spending countless summers with her family in Phoenix and falling in love with the area, she decided to sell her home, quit her job and move to Phoenix. She received her real estate license in April 2007 which is when she and Sonny met. When the market was taking a turn for the worse Sonny and Daniella formed an unstoppable team, focusing on bank owned listings and short sales. Daniella and her husband Steven are avid travelers who have been to over 20 countries on 5 continents. Daniella resides in the West Valley with her husband, 2 cats, a dog and soon their baby girl who is due in January 2010! Daniella is currently a REALTOR^® with West USA Realty.

Experience that Counts

Sonny and Daniella became REALTORs^® at what is arguably the worst time in real estate history. Despite the state of the market, Sonny and Daniella have together sold over 130 properties just in the last year. Being successful in today’s market isn’t just about who you know—it’s what you know. At a time when thousands of agents are getting out of a market they no longer understand, Sonny and Daniella’s strong work ethic, constant drive to understand quickly changing market conditions, and an almost singular focus on customer service has enabled them to thrive where others have failed. Now Sonny and Daniella want to share their knowledge and experience with you, their valued KPHX listeners!

Ring of Fire - Saturdays 1pm to 3pm

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. likes to say he’s been an environmentalist all his life. As a young boy, he kept pet snakes and raccoons, bred homing pigeons and pheasants in his backyard and learned to train hawks. He even considered becoming a veterinarian. Today Kennedy is widely recognized as the country’s most prominent environmental attorney, working tirelessly to safeguard the environment and public health. He is the founder and director of Pace University’s Environmental Litigation Clinic in White Plains, New York; president of the Waterkeeper Alliance, an international coalition of 99 grassroots groups; and senior attorney at the Natural Resources Defense Council. The peripatetic Kennedy also crisscrosses North America several times a year, stirring audiences of college students, community groups and elected officials.

Mike Papantonio is a senior partner of Levin, Papantonio, Thomas, Mitchell, Echsner & Proctor, P.A., one of the largest plaintiff’s law firms in America, having handled thousands of cases throughout the nation including Asbestos, Breast Implants, Pharmaceutical Drug Litigation, Factory Farming, Securities Fraud, the Florida Tobacco Litigation, and other mass tort cases. "Pap" has received numerous multi-million dollar verdicts on behalf of victims of corporate malfeasance.

When John F. Kennedy, Jr. launched George Magazine, he chose David Bender as its first West Coast contributing editor. Citing Bender’s more than thirty years of experience in politics, government and entertainment, Kennedy said, “As long as I’ve known David Bender, he has been involved in public issues. I think what he’s been able to do, rather uniquely, is kind of meld a lot of different worlds and channel them into public issues, whether it be Washington, New York or Los Angeles – particularly within the entertainment industry. I can’t really think of anyone who has done it longer or as well as he.” (more info)

The Renewable Power Hour - Saturdays 2pm to 3pm

What could be more important than power? The Soviet Russian astronomer, Nikolai Kardashev laid this out quite beautifully in 1964 when he described civilization’s level of technological advancement by their energy use. Right now, Earthlings are still burning dinobits to warm their homes and we are not even a Type I civilization. Until we understand and master renewable power, humans will remain nothing more than clever monkeys. Ahh, but we are clever and some of us get it and are working to master the sun and the wind and moving water and many other kinds of power. We understand that pouring all the carbon stored away for millions of years underfoot into the incredibly thin and delicate envelope of gas that surrounds our planet all at once may not end the planet, but it certainly will end us. Those of us that get it need to find a way to explain it to all of the others before things can’t be turned around. The problem is so big and so obvious that we thought it would be easy, but it’s not. The Renewable Power Hour will take a look at this challenge every Saturday afternoon from 2-3pm. It’s bad. It’s getting worse, but we can still laugh at our predicament and our silliness while we look for answers.

About Your Host
Jay Leopold is one of the few guys that studied solar engineering back in the seventies at the University of Michigan. Back then, solar engineers went into the computer biz and Jay started one of the first microcomputer companies in Chicago. His real skill and what made his computer company prosper was his ability to successfully bring new and disruptive technologies into the marketplace. Fast-forward thirty years and ask yourself, “What’s next?” Well, Jay’s going back to the future and bringing solar power, the technology of the 70’s, upgraded and ready for the 21st century into main stream adoption. It didn’t take long to see that solar electric power wouldn’t work in cloudy Chicago, so Jay and his wife Sara moved to the Phoenix Metro area back in 2006 to start SkyPower, a solar electric company poised to grow by bringing this new technology into everyday use for homes and businesses. Jay brings a wry sense of humor and concise engineering eye to all things he does and looks forward to giving you real answers and enjoying your observations on Renewable Power alternatives every Saturday afternoon.
