This week on The SavvyCast, I am discussing the importance of establishing a network of trusted service professionals.
Episode At A Glance:This week on The SavvyCast, I am sharing my tips and tricks for establishing a strong network of service professionals. A few weeks ago, I was reminded just how important it is to have a relationship with home professionals you trust. Zane was out of town, and I woke up to a nearly disastrous array of plumbing issues.

In this episode, I share how you can build a network so you know “who to call” when it matters most!
