About Rob Bittle ob Bittle Tragedy hit our family shortly after I graduated from college when my dad passed away. This left my mom alone in a large 2 story home. My siblings and I all lived at least an hour away. She longed to be closer to her grandkids. They were all busy with sports and other activities, and she felt like she was missing out. Even though I'd majored in business with a focus on Insurance in College… I was always interested in Real Estate. After speaking with my mom during this time, I decided to dive in and start my Real Estate career. She faced many mental and physical obstacles. Mentally she'd have to let go of all the memories in the home. She knew that would be hard. She also couldn't take all the furniture or other items with her. She'd have to let go of some physical things she loved too. She also had to get the home ready to sell. That included making repairs that needed to be done. She worried about the cost to make repairs and paint the home. The home needed paint, fence work, along with some other repairs. These things need to be completed to get top dollar for her home. There were unknown questions about the property tax. She was having trouble sleeping and focusing. She was overwhelmed just thinking of the long road ahead. I knew she didn't even know where to start. What she needed was a starting point to move forward. So, we made a list of what repairs needed to be completed. Then we went from room to room, making lists of what items she wanted to keep and what needed a new home. She asked all her family what cherished things they wanted. From there, the process started moving forward.
