Anyone meet clients at home?

I'm an RIA, and my home office is much nicer than my office. Unfortunately it doesn't have a separate entrance and you have to walk through the living room/kitchen.

OP here.

I live in $2.5 million home. My home office has views of the city. Can't afford an office that compares to this.

An outside door might work. I already have double doors, just need to make the entry way nice.

Getting a high end office is beyond the budget right now. I live in a VHCOL city where an A class office rents for at least $1800/month

Can you put an outside door on a wall in your home office and make a path leading to it from the driveway?

FA Op ... understand you can't get a Class A office but once they are inside you can make your office beautiful or if home is really where you want to be invest in an outside door
