Segment Teaser – In this powerful episode of Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio, we’re diving into two deeply personal and timely real estate challenges: soaring rental prices pushing families to the brink, and the emotional toll of major life transitions like divorce, loss, or separation—and the impact those events have on housing decisions.

🏠 The Rent Is Too Dang High: Families on the Edge
We’re seeing it all over Metro Atlanta and across the country: hard-working individuals and families are being priced out of their own communities. Rent prices have skyrocketed over the last few years, with little relief in sight.
Cleve explores:

What’s driving rent hikes in Metro Atlanta

The rise in housing insecurity among middle-income renters

The long-term risks of staying in the rental cycle

Real solutions for turning renters into homeowners—even in a challenging market

💔 Love, Loss, and the Real Estate Market
Behind every home sale is a personal story—and sometimes, those stories are painful. Whether it’s a divorce, the death of a loved one, or the end of a long-term relationship, these emotional life events often lead to major housing decisions.
Cleve opens up about:

How to navigate selling or buying when emotions are raw

Legal and financial considerations after a life transition

Why having an empathetic, knowledgeable agent can make all the difference

Resources available through the Modern Traditions Realty Group to help clients through difficult times with grace and confidence
