The Mostly Real Estate Podcast, with Declan Spring
Real estate market updates, and conversations of substance with people I admire, mostly in the field of residential real estate in the San Francisco East Bay Area. This show is both industry facing, and consumer facing, which makes it somewhat unique.
Listeners can access content about the state of the East Bay real estate market. The podcast also features local top-producing agents, brokers, rising stars, or agents who have simply niched down and can share their strategies.
Outside of real estate there are many conversations with local business owners, historians, politicians, and non-profits, people whom I believe provide value to the local community and enrich my experience of living here.
I've been a California licensed real estate agent since 2003 selling real estate mostly in the Inner East Bay cities and districts of Berkeley, Oakland, Richmond, Albany, El Cerrito, and Kensington.

This podcast episode is cross branded with a weekly podcast I host and produce on behalf of Bridge Association REALTORS®: The Bridge Association of REALTORS® Podcast
Cameron Platt is a broker and co-founder of Abio Properties. Cameron’s career in real estate was born out of a dissatisfaction with his practice of law. He realized he had a stronger passion for helping people in real estate transactions than in court. These days he considers himself a “recovering” attorney.
In our conversation Cameron and I discuss the value and protection that REALTORS® bring to consumers and the pressing need for REALTORS® to understand and articulate their value to consumers in the face of downward pressure on commissions from various places including new tech, private enterprise, and lawsuits. We reference the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice of the National Association of REALTORS® as a key document that each REALTOR® should carefully review and consider in their dealings with consumers.
Cameron has a long and impressive history as a leader in the REALTOR® community:
Past President, Oakland Association of REALTORS®
Director, Oakland Berkeley Association of REALTORS®
Director, California Association of REALTORS®
Committee Member, National Association of REALTORS®
