This morning, we sat down with a homeowner eager to sell. Last week, we had a respectful and in-depth conversation, laying everything out. Today was supposed to be the day we’d cement the plan to help him and his wife reach their goals. We were ready to dive into the details—timing, net profit, and all the essentials. In short, this was the meeting where we’d officially begin the journey of working together. But less than 60 seconds in, I knew something was off. No warmth. No niceties. Not even a smile. In that moment, I made the call: “We’re going to take a pass on this arrangement.” With a quick apology and goodbye, I ended the meeting. Not even five

What a whirlwind of a Saturday! Earlier this week, I reached out to Marie, and let’s just say, she wasn’t exactly thrilled to hear from me. I get it—homeowners are hounded by realtors and investors, swarming like vultures, and honestly, I’d feel the same way. Annoyed. Guarded. Ready to hang up. But about ten minutes into our conversation, I could feel a shift. There was a pause in her voice, like something clicked. Marie realized we weren’t like the others. We aren’t investors or pushy realtors—we’re different. I could sense the walls she’d put up slowly coming down. And by the end of that call? We had a meeting set for Saturday with her and her partner. Fast forward to

Some days in real estate, it’s like trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces. Today, it was all about my conversation with Deborah, a sweet home seller whose cell reception was so bad, I felt like I was playing a game of telephone with a broken string! I was missing nearly every word, but I didn’t want to miss a single one because I knew how important this conversation was. I tried so hard to piece things together, asking her to repeat herself over and over, but the call dropped. 😵‍💫 Then came the text. Deborah thought I had hung up on her and didn’t value her time. It broke my heart. 🙃 I felt so helpless in that

Choosing the right real estate partner is one of the most important decisions you’ll make, and we completely understand if you feel hesitant or even skeptical about working with realtors. At Burson Home Advisors, we believe that real estate is more than just transactions—it’s about people, their stories, and finding the best path forward, even if that doesn’t directly benefit us. As nationwide home buyers and real estate consultants, we specialize in helping home sellers, renters, and families-in-transition navigate their unique situations with honesty and integrity. We don’t measure success by the number of deals we close; we measure it by the positive impact we have on the lives of the families we serve. A recent experience with a couple,

For five unforgettable years, I had the privilege of being an AirBnB host in the breathtaking mountains of Western North Carolina. During that time, I welcomed a remarkable array of guests—each with their own unique story. There was the renowned violinist from Nashville, a Google Earth photographer capturing the world, a widower from Ohio bravely starting anew, and so many others. Every encounter was a gift, enriching my life in ways I never anticipated. ✨ I took immense joy in making each stay special. From organizing surprise birthdays and hosting memorable family dinners to arranging a boat ride and picnic for a Gulf War soldier and his loved ones, I made it my mission to help guests experience the magic

In our line of work, we encounter all kinds of situations—some inspiring, some challenging, and others downright heartbreaking. Every week, we receive calls from homeowners across the nation, each with a unique story. This week, one call from Ron in Phoenix stood out. His story was one of resilience, frustration, and ultimately, hope. Ron, a seasoned investor with over a decade of experience, recently found himself in an unimaginable situation. Despite his expertise, he fell victim to the dark side of the industry—scammers and unethical professionals who took advantage of his trust. 💔😡 It all started when Ron hired a contractor to renovate his investment property in the Midwest. Instead of completing the job, the contractor drained Ron’s debit card

After a long day at work, I was ready to kick back and relax, maybe catch up on my favorite show. But just as I settled in, JB walked in, phone in hand, looking like he’d just seen a ghost. He handed me the phone without a word. On the screen, our first-ever 1-star Google review blazed in all its glory: “SCAMMERS. Run as fast as you can!! No integrity at all!!” 😲 So much for unwinding. Of all the things someone could say, accusing us of lacking integrity? That one hit hard. I mean, I’ll admit, I can be a little short-tempered now and then. 😅 And JB… well, he’s never met a snack he didn’t like. 🐷 Sure,
