Episode 9: How To Find A Great Home Stager with Chad Hinke



Episode 9 interviews Spade and Archer’s very own Chad Hinke, Creative Principal. He shares his (super fascinating) story about how he found himself as a pre-med college student but ending up in the world of interior design instead! Now he runs and manages our design teams, and maintains Spade and Archer’s design aesthetic for our home staging in Seattle, Portland and Los Angeles. Chad fell in love with organized chaos of design in the real estate industry — a position surely benefited by his background in business, design AND psychology! The psychology of home buying and home staging are some of our favorite topics and Chad talks about how he approached these, especially during COVID times. We’re fortunate to have Chad in our company and on the podcast and we think this is a great listen if you love design and real estate!

Episode 16: How to find a live/work balance in real estate with Amy Romberg



Episode 16 interviews brand new and already busy real estate agent Amy Romberg with Windermere!  With a whole nine months of real estate activity under her belt, Amy’s only known Covid lockdown life as her business reality. Aside from how successful her launch into this new world has been (transferring from a federal career in social work!), she’s made family and work-life balance the core of her business. We wanted to specifically ask her about her partnership with her spouse and how they make their joint ventures peaceful and joyful. We were so excited to have Amy on the podcast and we think you will really enjoy her gracious and well-grounded approach to business.
