Pricing feels competitive, but unclear
Some families find pricing fair, while others say the financial process is hard to follow.
A few reviewers describe pricing as affordable or “right on the money,” including for someone transitioning from limited income. At least one other reviewer says they are still not understanding the financial process and that the rent/house-sale steps felt different from other clients they have seen. Taken together, pricing may be workable for some families, but expectations around the financial workflow are not consistent.
