Helter Shelter Wed, 01 Apr 2026 08:40:27 -0400 https://heltershelter.buzzsprout.com en-us © 2026 Helter Shelter yes Support this Podcast 895b20cf-5257-571d-a16e-735a7e216970 Jake Vanhaverbeke episodic true Helter Shelter is a real estate podcast about the highs, the lows, and the in-betweens most people don’t talk about.

Buying, selling, building wealth, starting over…real estate isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a series of decisions made under pressure, uncertainty, and imperfect information. This show lives in that tension.

Each episode strips away the slogans and looks at what actually shapes outcomes: the risks worth taking, the trade-offs that matter, and the moments where clarity beats confidence. You’ll hear from buyers, sellers, investors, and industry professionals who’ve navigated real consequences… not just theory.

This isn’t about selling a dream.
 It’s about understanding what’s possible when you stop outsourcing your thinking.

Because the market isn’t something that happens to you, it’s something you learn to move through…deliberately, informed, and on your own terms.

If you’re tired of noise, clichés, and one-size-fits-all advice, this is a place for better questions, clearer thinking, and a more grounded way forward.

Jenelle Berry - Tyler Smith - Jake Vanhaverbeke (Episode #1) Is the Dream of Home Ownership Dead? ft. Jenelle Berry - Tyler Smith - Jake Vanhaverbeke (Episode #1) Is the dream of home ownership actually dead for first-time buyers? Or are we just being told it is?

In this episode of Helter Shelter, I sit down with Mortgage Broker Jenelle Berry and Broker of Record of Homesmiths Real Estate ltd., Brokerage Tyler Smith to have an honest, unscripted conversation about the reality first-time buyers are facing today.

No hype. No blanket optimism. No fear-mongering.

We dig into what’s actually broken, what still works, and where people get misled ... from outdated advice to social media narratives that quietly convince buyers they don’t stand a chance. We talk about affordability, lending rules, expectations, timing, sacrifice, and the uncomfortable truth most people avoid: the path to ownership isn’t gone, but it has changed.

This episode isn’t about selling false hope.
It’s about clarity.

Because the most dangerous position for a buyer isn’t being priced out — it’s believing they have no agency at all.

If you’re a first-time buyer trying to separate noise from reality, this conversation will challenge what you think you know and help you ask better questions before making your next move.
