I have a passion for helping people finance a home when they need help the most. One of these difficult life experiences is during a separation or divorce. What I have found is that many times, a lack of knowledge leads to harder deals and it can even sometime prevent a potential buyer from purchasing or refinancing a home. I am experienced with all types of clients ranging from high net worth to CRA, which affords me a deep understanding of a client’s needs, how to meet them and how to provide the highest client experience with the best outcomes. As a mediator, I also help couples equitably address the disposition of the marital home or other marital real estate.

Being prepared has always made sense. This philosophy was held in such high esteem that we encouraged it in our youth through the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. This approach has diminished over time, but the potential for disruptions has actually increased. With floods, fires and other natural or man-made events so frequent today, the old “be prepared” philosophy can be the difference between a safe, hasty and successful outcome and one where you are at the mercy of the kindness and availability of outside resources.The Mellow Prepper is your partner in establishing your own appropriate level of readiness. We call this Rational Readiness and it is our balanced approach to being prepared and living a normal life. Our goal is to enable you to turn a disaster into a disruption, a bump in the road, a minor blip on the trail of life. Let The Mellow Prepper be your guide.
