. . . . . In a divorce, the home is the most expensive --and often the most emotional-- piece of the puzzle, yet the average Realtor has no specific training in divorce. The most complicated aspect of the case has no expert to address it.
. . . . . In 2006, I set out to change this. I dedicated my real estate expertise and specialty to matters that serve the family law professions. My team and I were able to turn our great passion as Realtors into laser-focused experts, agents who could get houses sold even in medium to high-conflict domestic relations and divorce cases.
. . . . . Together with my mentors and advisors, consisting of judges, magistrates, mediators, real estate experts, and high-level family law attorneys, my team and
I designed the most comprehensive divorce real estate practice in the real industry. . . . . . What does that mean for you?
