Meet Priya
Selling and buying at the same time is the hardest ordinary transaction in this business, and most of Priya's Des Moines clients are doing exactly that with a starter home and a growing family. She maps the two closings against each other on paper before either one is listed, so the gap that everybody fears is a decision rather than a surprise.
