c_v11i14_coverOn top of the significant dollar amount surrounding a real estate transaction, the stress of finding a team of trusted advisors can be insurmountable. In addition, the competitive housing market can challenge even the most dogged prospective homebuyers. Some of the area’s real estate brokers respond to the needs of those consumers by expanding and tailoring their services to assist workers transferring into the city.
