Shocked by the 72% of homebuyers with purchase regrets? David breaks down why closing costs surprise so many buyers and delivers a master class on avoiding the most common first-time buyer regrets - with the encouraging news that it's easier than you think to be in the savvy minority who buy with confidence.

Quote:

"In 2025, more than ever, you are going to need to know, not guess, what the closing cost estimates could be for you to become a homeowner."

Highlights:

• Could your home purchase regrets be prevented with the right knowledge months before house hunting?
• What if closing costs weren't a surprise - but an expected, manageable part of your homebuying journey?
• Is your real estate agent truly equipped to guide first-time buyers? (Hint: 47% of agents didn't sell a single home in 2020)
• Could you actually turn the "backwards mortgage payment" system into a 6-week financial advantage?
• How might being flexible with time and money get you a better deal on your home purchase?
