Thrive Thursdays: Know Before You Show...MEP for Dummies

Welcome to Thrive Thursdays!

REAL ESTATE AGENTS: Ever walked through a house and wondered if that's knob and tube wiring, is the heating system steam or hot water, is that a vent or a duct, or why the water heater looks like it belongs in a spaceship?

This Thrive Thursday, we’re cutting through the confusion! Licensed professional engineer and NJ renovations consultant Claudia Vargas Arenas is joining us to break down the MEP essentials (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing) in plain English.

You’ll learn:
✅ How to spot red flags before they become million-dollar mistakes
✅ The difference between commonly confused systems & parts of a house
✅ Tips for guiding buyers (and protecting yourself!) during showings
✅ What questions to ask — and what you don’t need to overthink

Whether you’re new to real estate or a seasoned pro, this session will help you tour homes with sharper eyes, more confidence, and fewer “uhhh… I’ll get back to you” moments.
