The first step in understanding the home buying process is understanding the real estate vocabulary and jargon. Today, we continue with our series on first-time homebuyer terms and definitions. The often-ignored letter Q gets the royal treatment in this episode, defining the terms you need to know when buying your first home.

This podcast was started for YOU, to demystify things for first time home buyers, and help crush the confusion. After helping first timers for over 13 years, I knew there wasn’t t a lot of clear, tangible, useable information out there on the internet, so I started this podcast. Help me spread the word to other people just like you, dying for answers. Tell your friends, family, and perhaps that random neighbor you REALLY want to move out about How to Buy a Home! A really easy way is to hit the share button and text it to your friends. Go for it, help someone out. And if you’re not already a regular listener, subscribe and get constant updates on the market. If you are a regular and learned something, help me help others – give the show a quick review in Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts, or write a review on Spotify. Let’s change the way the real estate industry treats you first time buyers, one buyer at a time, starting with you – and make sure your favorite people don’t get screwed by going into this HUGE step blind and confused. Viva la Unicorn Revolution!

Who knew buying your first home would need THREE entire podcasts to cover all the terms that start with P? The exciting conclusion, part three, of the full glossary of all the new and funky words you'll need to know when buying your first home. David Sidoni starts with the term pre-approval. He disagrees that the first step in buying a home is getting pre-approval from lenders; instead, finding a unicorn realtor should be first. The realtor will recommend a lender they know that is as good as someone you could find on your own. David also shares some positive strategies and facts along the discussion as he lists down the remaining terms and definitions that start with P. Tune into this insightful episode!

We can get too emotional or too analytical in buying our first home. But our guests in this episode balance each other out in moving forward. Nathaniel and Bryan are excellent, cautious, and serious planners. They were even shocked that they could do it with some deep research into trying to buy a home in one of the most expensive areas in the country! They didn't need 20% down. Although they are super cautious and conservative, they still elected to use some of their retirement savings to purchase. Tune in to this episode, and you can learn more from their story.
