In this episode, I sit down with experienced real estate agent Sada Gaines and former UFC fighter now lender Jason Pittman to talk about homeownership. We have a fun conversation about the importance of black and brown people buying homes. As well as the importance of representation when it comes to real estate agents and lenders.

Tune in to learn about the home buying process and how to start a career in this industry. I can honestly say it means a lot to have two people that look like me, help me find a home, and set my family up for success in the future.
