About Mia Taylor

My goal is to help you confidently navigate the world of home buying, selling, and remodeling. I believe every homeowner should know what things are really going to cost—and when to save or splurge. You can count on me for candid tips, real-life stories, and no-nonsense budget advice, all drawn from my own experiences fixing up properties and helping friends and family make their homes shine—without breaking the bank.
