Clients have called me their “home owning coach” and I think it’s pretty fitting. I’m there before the game prepping my clients with guidance and strategy to navigate the complex real estate market; during the game offering support, advice, and insights to help make informed decisions; and most importantly after the game to address any post-sale concerns that may arise.
