Welcome to another episode of C21 Drive Time, Lloydminster's go-to podcast for everything real estate. In this episode, Aaron Rawlake and Ryan Topley discuss the often-stressful topic of homeowner insurance. As homeowners, we all know the importance of having insurance, but what happens when you need to make a claim? It can be a daunting and overwhelming experience. As realtors, Aaron and Ryan get asked a lot of questions about insurance, from replacement costs to documenting belongings. They share their knowledge and experiences to help alleviate some of the stress associated with home insurance. If you're a homeowner, it's crucial to have insurance. However, it's equally important to understand what your policy covers and what it doesn't. Aaron and Ryan offer some valuable insights on how to navigate the insurance world and make the best decisions for your home and family. Remember, if you have any questions about your insurance policy, it's always best to check with your insurance provider or an insurance expert. Don't forget to leave us a review and subscribe to the podcast for more insightful conversations about all things real estate. Thank you for tuning in!

One of the goals of our podcast is to collect the amazing stories of the people who make up our community. This week's interview is with one of the most unique people in Lloydminster, Mr. Hai Ma. Joined by his daughter Eliza van Assem, Hai sits down and shares his journey with Ryan. Starting out in his home in Vietnam, Hai relates how, on April 30th of 1975, the government took over his family business, and put him in jail. From there he escaped from jail, spent time drifting at sea, managed to survive both in the jungle and on a remote island, ended up in Indonesia where a Canadian immigration officer helped sponsor him, and eventually Hai ended up in Lloydminster. This story has so many twists and turns, and is drenched in both fantastic and horrible luck - you have to listen to this one!
