I hope you never need what I presented to you in this episode, but if you do, you at least know why you might need to do it and how you may need to do it. Thanks for hanging with me today on the Get Me Ready to Sell Podcast and the Get Me Ready to Buy Podcast. If you're in my market, I would love to help you sell your home or buy a home, and that's in the MidSouth, the Memphis metro area, Tennessee, and Mississippi.

If you're not in my market, I have a network of agents across the nation and in some other countries, so if you're looking to sell or buy your home, reach out to me. You can find me at some of the links below. I would love to be able to help connect you with an agent in your area who you're not going to want to fire. Let me tell you that. And again, it's an agent who I would, as best I could, trust with my mother-in-law. Listen to some other episodes if you want to know why that's a deal.
