the Mountain West
Before
A surgeon most of a year into a new job in a new Mountain West town, far from any metro — with moving boxes still sealed, because every free hour had gone to building the practice. Laundry, cleaning and errands were consuming what little time remained.
Why they chose Sage Haus
A sibling — also a Sage Haus client — made the referral. The logic landed immediately: the practice was the priority, and the household needed an owner who was not the surgeon.
Sage Haus found their house manager
A settle-in scope: the unpacking finished at last, then the running rhythm — laundry, errands, supplies, resets — in a town with one of the thinnest hiring pools in the book. The search took the long road and got there.
