Ryan Riggins professional portrait

Who I am.

I’m the founder of Riggins Strategic Solutions. Before that, I wore a lot of hats: house flipper, construction project manager, restaurant operator, insurance adjuster.

What that combination buys you: I can walk through a property and tell you in 10 minutes what needs fixing, what doesn’t, and what a contractor is about to try to oversell you on. Most families waste $30,000 to $50,000 on updates that don’t return a dime at closing. That’s the mistake I was built to stop.

Why I started Riggins Strategic Solutions.

For 8 years I flipped houses. More than half of what I bought came from seniors or the adult children who’d just inherited Mom’s house.

I saw the same pattern over and over. Families making rushed decisions under crisis pressure. Adult kids accepting the first quick-cash offer because nobody had laid out the options. $50,000 or $100,000 of equity walking out the door because there was no plan.

I decided I couldn’t be on that side of the table anymore.

Now I use everything I learned as an investor — how the pricing games work, what contractors pad, which exit strategies actually protect equity — to put families in the driver’s seat.

Welcome to the helpful side.

What I bring to the table.

Real-world experience

15+ property renovations personally managed. Hands-on, not theory.

Construction & project management

Years managing vendors, timelines, and budgets across renovations, restaurants, and insurance claims.

Licensed for fiduciary duty

Licensed NC broker (#361546, eXp Realty). Full fiduciary duty to the family, not a pitch.

Systems thinker

Frameworks, checklists, and decision tools that replace guesswork with a repeatable process.

Empathy & patience

Respect for the senior's dignity and the family's timeline. No rush, no pressure.

Insider protection

I know exactly how investors and quick-cash buyers think. I use that knowledge to protect families from predatory offers.

Beyond the advisory.

I also built SeniorSafe, a family coordination app for the ongoing part of senior care. Daily check-ins, medication tracking, document vault, AI assistant, family messaging. $14.99 a month after a 14-day free trial.

And I wrote two books on having the hard conversations: The Unheard Conversation and The Other Side of the Conversation. Both on Amazon.

The advisory work, the app, the books — different shapes, same job: help families handle this without losing their money or their minds.
