Most agents spend their careers avoiding difficult deals. Megan Orr has built an entire business around them.
In this episode of Real Estate Insiders Unfiltered, Certified Divorce Real Estate Specialist (CDRE) Oh explores one of the most overlooked niches in the real estate industry: helping clients navigate divorce-related real estate sales.
While many agents avoid these transactions due to emotional complexity and conflict, Oh has built a thriving business helping clients navigate some of life’s most difficult transitions.
Oh shares how her background as a real estate paralegal led her to this unique specialty, why most agents are unprepared for the complexities of divorce transactions, and how becoming a true expert can create consistency, referrals, and long-term business growth.
