Did you know your offer could already be a legally binding contract?In this first episode of
The First-Time Homebuyer Podcast, I sit down with
real estate Attorney Lauren Scotton—one of only 14 board-certified residential real estate specialists in Connecticut—to break down the
legal side of buying your first home.If you’re not familiar with contract contingencies, earnest money deposits, inspection rights, or Connecticut's unique real estate process (hint:
no title companies here), this is a must-listen.🎧
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:- Why your purchase offer might already be a binding contract
- What a mortgage contingency really does (and how it protects you)
- The truth about “as-is” inspections—and why they don’t always mean what you think
- What happens if you breach your contract (and how to avoid it)
- Why every CT buyer needs a real estate attorney, not a title company
Whether you're actively house hunting or just thinking about getting started, this episode will give you the legal foundation you need to move forward with confidence.đź”—
