Avoiding Costly Mistakes During Life Transitions with Ryan Riggins

from Life Stories Podcast · host Shara Goswick

In this episode of Life Stories, I sit down with Ryan Riggins, a former house flipper who made a powerful decision to change direction. After years of buying homes, often from families in difficult situations, Ryan realized the financial gain often came at someone else’s loss. That realization led him to switch sides and dedicate his work to protecting families instead.Ryan now helps adult children navigate one of the most overwhelming seasons of life: managing an aging parent’s transition. He shares how predatory buyers operate, why families can unknowingly lose tens of thousands of dollars, and what options truly exist when it comes to selling a home.We talk about the emotional weight of these decisions, the tension that can arise within families, and why preparation matters more than most people realize. Ryan also walks through practical strategies, red flags to watch for, and the importance of having honest conversations early—before a crisis forces quick decisions.If you are caring for aging parents, walking through a transition, or simply want to be prepared for the future, this episode offers real, practical guidance you can use.To connect with Ryan, visit https://rigginsstrategicsolutions.com/Want to be a guest on Life Stories Podcast?
