In this episode of More Than A Mortgage, host Gavin Sessions sits down with Matt and Lauren Clark, a married real estate team whose journey into homeownership began early—and intentionally.

Lauren shares how military discipline and long-term goal setting led her to purchase her first home at just 22 years old during a historic buying opportunity. Together, Matt and Lauren reflect on how early homeownership, navigating challenges, and learning through experience ultimately shaped their transition into real estate as a shared career.

From VA and FHA loan insights to the importance of communication, ethics, and partnership—both in marriage and business—this conversation offers powerful lessons for first-time home buyers, young professionals, and anyone wondering if buying a home earlier than planned is possible.
