The problem isn’t a lack of information. It’s too much noise and not enough clarity. So let’s reset the conversation. Because the housing market isn’t broken, but expectations? That’s a different

For decades, we’ve told young adults the same story: Pick the right major, get a degree, and everything else will fall into place. But in today’s economy, that advice deserves a hard second look. Student loan debt is crushing flexibility. Many degree-holders are under-employed. Entire white-collar industries are being reshaped by artificial intelligence.

While everyone else is distracted by sugar cookies, football games, and Christmas shopping, the people sti

Buying a home can feel like learning a new language. As agents, we hear a lot of phrases that don’t always mean what they sound like.
