Fail fast to succeed faster

Cheryl tells us that she started marketing herself as a Forensic Real Estate Divorce Specialist directly to people who were getting divorced. From that, she learned that most people didn’t know what they didn’t know about divorce. She quickly learned to market to divorce-oriented services.

Tell us something good

Listen as Cheryl relates how she helped a couple who had been trying to get divorced for eight years and couldn’t come to an agreement on the valuation and equity split on the family home because they had each put in money that was sole and separate as well as community property dollars. She worked with the couple over a few sessions to explain what would be involved in litigating the split in terms of time, resources and money; she then helped them come to an agreement on the equity split.
