S3 - the Rebranding - welcome to Puyallup Home Pros

I started this podcast to leverage what I'm good at (education) and fill a gap I see for the home owner and future home owner - easy to access information and access to local professionals! Real Life and Real Estate was the attempt to blend the many issues facing not only real estate buyers and sellers but also the real life issues of the home owner. Since the internet loves hyperlocal and there is another podcast out there with a similar name, I decided to lean into what's truly important: My Local Connections. I've lived in or near Puyallup since 2000. I've raised kids in Graham, been in the Bethel and Puyallup school districts and moved to the city in 2018. I've been meeting some incredible professionals and I want them to get the exposure they deserve. Roofer Electrician Home remodel Life Insurance Landscape and so much more.... Who will you need to know? How will you know who you can trust? How can you know if they're locally owned and operated? I can handle that for you. That has not changed. I'm still bringing you vetted pros that I know and trust to work with my clients, for my family or on my own home. I will still be bringing the stories of real home buyers and sellers because their story is unique. Their story may be similar to yours. You may hear some resource or tool that worked for them that will work for you too. Real stories. Real Life. Local. So subscribe, share and bookmark this podcast on your favorite platform! I may be bringing someone you need to know next week! Puyallup Home Pros - serving the local homeowner.
