Everything nobody told you about buying.
You've been pre-approved for a number and told that's your budget. It isn't. Start with the free class and find out what buying actually costs, before you fall in love with a house.
You're not scared of buying. You're scared of buying wrong.
The number on your pre-approval is a ceiling. It is not a recommendation.
Nobody sits you down and explains the difference. So you end up doing math at midnight, refreshing listings you can't afford, and wondering whether everyone else got a manual you didn't.

What I actually do
The free class walks you through the whole thing, start to keys. It's what I wish somebody had handed you two years ago.
Down payment assistance is often a trap. Renting is sometimes the smarter call. Where you live matters more than what's in the kitchen. I'll say all of it.
When you're ready to actually buy, I match you with an agent in your market I've vetted myself. Not the right fit? I'll find you someone else.
The free class
Sixty minutes, on demand, watch it whenever. By the end you'll know what the process actually looks like, what it costs, and which parts people get wrong.
- 01How much house can I actually afford?
- 02Pre-qualified or pre-approved? Does it matter?
- 03How much cash do I really need to close?
- 04How do I find a lender I can trust?
- 05Do I have to pay off all my debt first?
- 06How long does all of this take?
You did the homework. Now you need the right person.
Tell me where you're looking and I'll introduce you to an agent I've vetted myself. Somebody I'd send my own family to. Not the right fit? I'll find you someone else.
Not sure you're ready? If your right-for-now house popped up tomorrow, would you want to go see it? A yes, or even a maybe, means now's a good time.
Free for you, no obligation. The agent pays me a referral fee out of what they earn. It doesn't add anything to what you pay.

Before real estate, I built training programs for Fortune 500 companies. Then I became a REALTOR®, and it turns out I never changed jobs.
Most of the buyers I teach show up convinced they've already missed their shot.
I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear.
