In this episode, Kristen Cantrell sits down with Ashley Willis, real estate agent and author of The House Hunt, to explore how buying a home can become a meaningful, kid-centered experience. Ashley shares her journey from traditional real estate to creating a children’s book that helps families and especially kids feel seen, excited, and included during a move. They talk about faith, motherhood, building a business with purpose, and why success in real estate doesn’t have to mean hustle culture. This conversation is a powerful reminder that small, thoughtful touches can create lasting memories and deeper client relationships.
