In 2006, I purchased my first home in PG County, MD and It was very stressful to say the least. This would be my first major life investment and I was a novice, it was pretty scary. I sought advice from my most trusted advisers among friends and family only to realize their good intentions still left me feeling insecure about the unknown potential financial nuances that I might be facing. During that process I encountered several realtors, many whom left me disappointed with their lack of care and knowledge. This experience inspired me to become a realtor so that I could relieve the 'unknown' stress of individuals or families looking to buy or sell a home.
