Author releases memoir chronicling her move to Gainesville in the chaotic world of modern real estate  

Press release from C. Franklin Wilt

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – In her book, “Persistence: Memoir of a Real Estate Odyssey,” Gainesville author C. Franklin Wilt provides an account of her move from Atlanta to Gainesville that is both eye-opening and heartwarming.

This creative, non-fiction work follows Cathy, an empty nester who hasn’t touched the housing market in thirty years. When she and her husband decide to sell their long-time home in Atlanta and relocate to Gainesville, they find themselves on a wild, turbulent journey. Along the way, they must navigate a minefield of bogus buyers, an over-promising realtor, an incompetent financial advisor, and a careless closing attorney. However, with the grit of a fresh rookie agent on the selling end and a total bulldog of a Gainesville realtor helping them land their Florida dream home, they persist and finally cross the finish line.

This memoir will resonate with anyone who has recently been in the housing market and is a must-read for anyone who is contemplating buying or selling their home. Join Cathy on an odyssey full of unusual characters, high-stakes negotiations, and unpredictable moments.

Persistence: Memoir of a Real Estate Odyssey is available at Amazon.
