Ashley
Ashley Bachman is a licensed Realtor with exp realty. Her license is held in North Carolina, but she works as a matchmaker — connecting homebuyers (and occasional sellers) with local, quality real estate agents all over the country. Ashley developed The Relocation Roadmap for two reasons- after doing her own cross-country move, she knew these were resources she wish she had compiled in this manor. But she also wanted to expand her support beyond her locality and help relocating homebuyers all over the country. She wants to make the process easeful and painless! Enjoy the program and if you have any questions, you can find answers and a contact button in the FAQ section. xoxo Agent Ashley
