Nicole Espinosa, a seasoned professional in the real estate industry for 15 years, has earned her reputation as the "short sale queen" due to her extensive knowledge of foreclosure prevention strategies. Her perspective on this issue is shaped by the current economic challenges homeowners face, particularly in terms of affordability due to rising costs of living and stagnant wages. Nicole underscores the significance of proactive measures such as forbearance or short sales in preventing foreclosure and highlights the potential long-term consequences of foreclosure, including credit implications and financial liability. This approach derives from her commitment to providing education, support, and advocacy to help homeowners navigate financial hardships and secure stable housing solutions.

Levi Wanner is a highly respected builder with a robust background in construction and real estate, specifically overseeing more than 50 units in Montana simultaneously. Levi sees the trade skills shortage as a significant issue, particularly in the construction industry, where there is a high demand for skilled labor in trades like plumbing, HVAC, electrical work and carpentry. This perspective was shaped by his experiences in the industry and the relationships he has built with subcontractors. Furthermore, he values the art of working with one's hands and sees it as a lost yet highly sought-after skill.
