Kaus earned his real estate license in 2015 after retiring from a career in social work, was mentored by Ulvog and earned his broker’s license in 2018. Burlage began her real estate career as a transaction coordinator, joining Ulvog’s team in 2018 and earning her broker’s license in 2021.

To assist these homeowners, the company connects clients to service providers to help maximize sales price.
