In this episode of Stunning, we sit down with Stephanie Morgan from NRE to talk about what it’s really like to buy, remodel, and build equity in your own home. Stephanie shares her firsthand experience of purchasing a 1970s fixer-upper early in her marriage a project that tested her patience, taught her the value of planning, and ultimately shaped her approach to real estate.

From outdated carpet and torn linoleum to reconfiguring the kitchen and bathrooms by hand, Stephanie explains how years of steady work transformed that first home into a valuable property and gave her a deep appreciation for the process.
