About the Book

We are extremely excited and overwhelmed with the opportunity to share our experiences in the Real Estate Industry. Although we come from different fields, the overall experiences are similar and at times quite amusing, but learned something new each time along the way. This book provides a quick glance into every day experiences with a small lesson behind each story. Some scenarios have positive endings while others may not have the outcome one would expect. Thank you to each of you for taking the time to read the book and share in our endeavors.
