Joined by real estate professionals Amanda Pendleton, Zillow Home Trends Expert; Mika Kleinschmidt, Realtor, Interior Designer and Television Personality; and Ciara Foster, Mortgage Loan Officer and Content Creator, they will cover topics including current housing market trends, home buying best practices, and negotiating in a crowded market.
