Welcome to the very first episode of Dirt Secrets, the podcast where Kim Griffin and Amanda Wood of Builder’s Concierge Group at RE/MAX Exclusive Collection pull back the curtain on the truth behind building, buying, and transforming homes in Central Florida.

In this episode, Kim and Amanda talk about what happens when an old home gets torn down for new construction and the impact on property values, insurance, and neighborhood character. They share insider stories from decades in the business, including lessons from builders who shaped their careers, and dive into the realities of Florida’s fast-changing real estate landscape.

Whether you’re a builder, a homebuyer, or just wondering what’s going on with that lot next door, this conversation will change the way you see “dirt.”
