🙌 Yes… the ‘Ber months are almost here…. 🍂 ❄️ 🌞

The ‘Ber Months, ranked by how much they lie to you:

September: 80° and gaslighting you into thinking it’s still summer 😎
October: the honest one. 65°, gold everywhere, first freeze around the 10th 🍂
November: 49° and getting weird about it 🤪
December: 39°, fog, and a personal vendetta 🥹

AND Nobody warns you about the inversion. 🌫️

December in the Valley averages 32°, but that number hides the real thing: cold air sinks and just sits here.

A week of gray at 28° on the valley floor while the foothills are sunny and 45°. Drive up Bogus Basin Road and you’ll pop out of it like surfacing from a lake.

Locals know. Save this for December. 📌

✨ Elite Agent ✨

It feels a little surreal to say the words 🤩

Historically, only about 1.2% of REAL agents reach Elite Agent Status, which makes this one hit a little differently.

🏆 Awards have never been the reason we do this.

But we share this one because behind this prestigious award are buyers and sellers who trusted us with one of the biggest decisions of their lives and that’s something we’ll never take for granted.

💪 A year ago, we made the decision to move back to REAL Broker. After careful consideration, we decided that it would be the best for our business and family. We are grateful for all of the opportunities that led us here, but we are HOME! ❤️

When it comes to being recognized, a plaque is nice however at REAL, one of the things we appreciate most is that the company does not just recognize production; REAL invest back into the agents building the company.

🙌 This award comes with $16,000 in company stock and reduced transaction fees, and honestly, it still feels surreal to say out loud.

That’s a pretty incredible way to celebrate the people moving things forward. But at the end of the day, the award or title is all made possible by our amazing clients, friends, referral partners, business partners and everyone who cheers for us every single day!
We are beyond grateful!!! 🙏❤️

If you’re an agent reading this and your brokerage is still handing out acrylic trophies while you’re the one helping build their business… let’s talk. Perhaps REAL is the place you should call home. 🩵

Here’s to continuing to learn, collaborate, grow, serve more families, and help even more people reach their real estate goals.
❤️ The Real Brokerage and Tamir Poleg for the vision and strength that it has taken make REAL what it is!

THANK YOU!!! 🫶🏼 ❤️

💧🚽 Meridian water & sewer bills could be going up this fall

Here’s what you need to know 👇

📊 City staff are proposing a 4.2% combined increase in sewer & water rates
💰 That’s about +$2.71/month for the average resident
📬 Notices will go out on August & September bills
🗞️ It’ll also be published in the newspaper later this month
🗓️ Public hearing: September 8 at 6pm
✅ If approved, new rates start October 1

🔍 The breakdown:
* Water base rate: +9%
* Water usage rate: +5%
* Sewer base rate: +4%
* Sewer usage rate: +3%

📉 Even with this increase, Meridian still has the lowest water/sewer bills in the Treasure Valley — currently $65.24/month vs. the valley average of $101.12

🛠️ City officials say the increase is needed to stay financially solvent long-term, fund future infrastructure, and meet upcoming water quality regulations

🤝 Meridian also has a low-income assistance program for water/sewer bills through El-Ada Community Action Partnership — about 100 residents currently use it
