In this episode of Real Estate Insiders Unfiltered, Oh, a Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert (CDRE), explores one of the most overlooked niches in real estate: helping clients navigate divorce-related property sales.

Oh shares how her background as a real estate paralegal led her into this unique specialty, why most agents are unprepared for the complexities of divorce transactions, and how becoming a true expert can create consistency, referrals, and long-term business growth.
