From Brent

Brent Rosenauer

I used to own the Savannah Reporter with my dad. When Nicole and I got into real estate, I missed the genuine conversations I used to have with people in the community. I figured if I was going to be reaching out to people anyway, I could make those conversations about something besides buying and selling houses.

So every week, I call folks around here with one question and share what they tell me. That’s the whole letter.
