In this week’s episode of A Life Well Lived: A Physician’s Guide to Wealth, James welcomes Zoe Taylor, a nationally recognized realtor and founder of _Moving Medicine Partners_—a nationwide network of 83 realtors who are all married to physicians and uniquely understand the challenges of relocating for medical careers.

Zoe shares hard-earned insights on the biggest mistakes physicians make when buying a home, how to know when it’s truly time to buy or sell, and what to expect from the 2026 housing market. Together, they explore the realities of physician loans, delayed gratification, and how comparison culture on social media leads many to overbuy.
