  In this episode of Shut the Front Door, Johnny Kazemka (aka Johnny Realtor) and Scott Connors swap some of their most memorable stories from years in the real estate trenches across the Ohio Valley. From unexpected grant money that changed a young family’s future, to helping a military spouse buy her first home, to an actual guinea pig infestation, the guys highlight the moments that remind them why they love what they do.

  They also reflect on the privilege of guiding clients through life’s biggest transitions—whether that’s selling a lifelong family home, navigating divorce, or helping the next generation find their first place. Along the way, you’ll hear about thank-you letters saved for years, diving into rivers for lost phones, and even a few laughs at their own expense.

  This one’s packed with perspective, humor, and a whole lot of heart.
