Brady could after Megan gave him her business card!  After Megan showed him some homes, he found the one – house I mean – but not before a relationship blossomed between the two. Now they’re happily married and working together; she with the marketing, communications, and negotiation skills and he as the numbers wiz. A perfect match! Tune in to hear how they met, what they learned, and what the future has in store.

3 Key Points

1. You never know if love might find you through real estate!
2. Buyers and sellers shouldn’t talk; your realtor needs to be there as a chaperone!
3. Inspections are important:  The information the seller gives you may be incorrect.
