Summary
Not sure where to start with buying a home? This episode answers the three questions every first-time buyer asks—and why most advice is misleading.
Buying your first home can feel confusing and overwhelming, especially when you don’t know where to begin.

You’ll also learn why the homebuying journey is not a simple step-by-step path—and what that means for your next move.
