First-Time Home Buyers

Let’s be real: buying your first home is equal parts exciting and absolutely terrifying. It’s like deciding to get married after three dates. But listen to me—you can do this, but you have to stop looking at Zillow like it’s a vision board and start looking at it like a spreadsheet.

The "Unicorn" House Doesn't Exist I know, I know. You want the farmhouse sink, the walk-in closet, and the perfect location for under budget. Here’s the truth: you usually get to pick two. We’re going to find you a home you love, but we need to distinguish between your "needs" (a roof, safe wiring, enough bedrooms) and your "wants" (heated floors). You can add the heated floors later. You can't change the zip code.

The "F" Word (Finances) HGTV lied to you. The down payment is just the cover charge to get into the club. We also need to talk about closing costs, inspections, and the "oh no, the water heater exploded" fund. I’m not saying this to scare you; I’m saying this so that when you get the keys, you’re popping champagne, not stress-eating over your bank account.

Stop Ghosting Your Agent (That’s me). I am your guide, your therapist, and your negotiator. The more honest you are with me about what scares you, the harder I can fight for you. Let’s go find your place.
