We've interviewed countless people on buying real estate, but that didn't mean we were prepared when we purchased our first properties.

The reality is that people who have purchased a lot of real estate tend to skip past some of those tiny details.

This episode is meant to slow down and cover all those details that a first-time home buyer needs to remember.

In this episode, we cover:

* Understanding how much you can afford

* Setting your housing criteria

* Understanding fair market value

* Getting approved for a loan

* Building the right team

* Touring properties

* Getting an offer accepted

* Closing on the home

* Post-closing checklist

We hope this is an episode you can always refer back to when you get ready for that first home purchase so you don't get surprised like we did.
