Ned Jacobs in the Media
When Santa Fe radio, realtor associations, or local press need someone to explain what a policy actually covers, they tend to call the same agent. Here is where that work has aired.
Where Ned Has Appeared
Broadcast segments, podcasts, and industry panels across Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico.
Quarterly Commentator on All Things Real Estate
Hosted by Rey Post, Associate Broker at Sotheby's International Realty, the show has aired every weekend since 2009 and passed its sixteenth year on air in June 2025.
The Standing Slot
Ned returned in 2025 as a quarterly commentator, coming back through the year to answer the insurance questions that surface as the market moves. Recent quarters have been shared with Donna Jones White of Santa Fe Vacation Rentals.
Wildfire Prevention Segment
One of the recurring themes: fireproofing a home, practical wildfire prevention, and what safety measures actually change a property's exposure in Northern New Mexico.
Claims, Explained Plainly
Ned uses the airtime to walk listeners through filing an Allstate claim, tracking it, and getting it settled, plus the wider case for insurance as risk management rather than paperwork.
On air with the Mayor
An earlier second-hour broadcast put Ned alongside Santa Fe Mayor Alan Webber, Valerie Montoya, President of the Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association, and Steve Riemann, President of The Santa Fe Title Company, for a wide conversation on the city's property market.
Speaking to the Trade
When the people who sell and build Santa Fe homes need the insurance side explained, Ned takes the seat.
SFAR Wildfire Awareness Discussion
The Santa Fe Association of REALTORS hosted a wildfire awareness session for its membership. Ned was among the special commentators addressing how properties can be protected from wildfire damage, so agents could brief owners, buyers, and sellers accurately.
Santa Fe Assoc. of REALTORSTopics Ned Speaks On
Wildfire risk and home hardening in the wildland urban interface. What keeps a Northern New Mexico property insurable rather than merely priced. Reading a declarations page. What a policy really pays after a loss, and how a claim actually moves.

Tomlinson shot and cut the agency's neighbour-portrait films, each built around one Santa Fe resident answering why they stay.
An award-winning collaborator
Tomlinson's documentary work includes New Mexico Rain, the story of Santa Fe musicians Bill and Bonnie Hearne, screened at festivals well beyond New Mexico.
Cause-led work
Tomlinson has also produced cause-related film work with the agency in support of Santa Fe community organisations.
