| 0:00.0 | Corey's a first-time homebuyer. Corey is rad. Corey has a very fun dry wit. And Corey got |
| 0:10.9 | $18,500 from the seller as a first-time home buyer in a crazy competitive market. And when I |
| 0:17.2 | asked him how he did that, his low-key dry-wit answer was, oh, I had no idea what was going on. |

| 1:35.8 | under 90 days, or just over 90 days, I believe it was. So, Corey, how are you doing, buddy? |
| 1:41.3 | You're in your new home right now? Doing good. Yeah, I'm in my new office. I've never had an office before. So definitely a good feeling. |
| 1:45.6 | That's pretty cool. |
