How to Buy a Home

Buying Your First Home After a Lifetime of Renting (INTERVIEW) - 375


Listen Later

Renee and Tom spent 16 years renting before finally becoming homeowners. In this episode, they share how persistence, education, and the right team helped them turn skepticism into success.


After 16 years in the same rental, Renee and Tom were told they had to move. For Tom, buying a home seemed impossible at 60, especially with some credit bruises. But Renee had a different vision. Known as the "Research Goddess," she dove into the How to Buy a Home podcast, learned the language of homebuying, and built a plan. They improved their credit, saved strategically, and connected with HBH-vetted Realtors James and Andy. To their surprise, the process was smoother and easier than expected. This episode is a testament to the power of preparation, the right guidance, and believing that homeownership is possible at any stage of life.


Quote: "The biggest surprise was how easy and painless it was once we had the right team in place."


Highlights:

  • How a forced move pushed Renee and Tom to finally pursue buying.
  • Overcoming credit challenges later in life.
  • Why early education and research made all the difference.
  • The importance of having the right real estate team.
  • How the process turned out to be smoother than they ever imagined.
