"Thank you for
twisting my arm."
An older client came to Doug uncertain about a reverse mortgage — the numbers were there, but the decision felt enormous. Doug laid it out plainly, walked her through what it actually meant for her situation, and made the case with the kind of directness most agents reserve for buyers in a hot market. She was hesitant. He was firm. She called a year later to say it had changed her life. That call, and dozens like it, is why Doug does this work: not to close deals, but to get it right for the person sitting across the table — even when that means saying the uncomfortable thing out loud.
