Senior Editor, Home Finance
Jordan Mabry has covered mortgages and household finance for more than a decade, including six years reporting on lending policy. Jordan translates loan estimates, escrow statements, and rate sheets into decisions ordinary buyers can actually make.
Editor, Buying & Selling
Elena Ruiz-Adams writes about the transaction itself — offers, contingencies, inspections, negotiation, and closing. She has interviewed hundreds of agents, inspectors, and title officers about what actually derails a deal.
Editor, Home Systems & Maintenance
Dev Thakur covers the parts of a house most people only think about when they break: HVAC, roofing, plumbing, drainage, and electrical systems. He tests maintenance advice against what technicians actually recommend in the field.
Editor, Improvement & Design
Corinne Hale writes about renovation planning, budgets, and the gap between a design idea and a finished room. She has documented dozens of remodels from first sketch through final punch list.
Staff Writer, Moving & Relocation
Marcus Ostrander covers relocation logistics — estimates, contracts, claims, timing, and the parts of a move that quietly cost the most. He has reported on interstate moving regulation and consumer complaints.
