Jeremy Goodrich:             Hey there, new home buyers, it's Jeremy Goodrich, your host for the New Home Buyers Guide podcast. And we are on episode nine and in some ways in episode nine, the ninth episode of this show, we're digging into the thing that you kind of probably thought you were supposed to do first, right? Because you think you're supposed to go out and find a realtor and then like that's what happens. Like you go find a realtor and everything else works out and realtors are awesome and they're going to be a center piece of the process and really the person that holds your hand during the home buying process. But as we've learned in previous episodes, there's a lot of work to be done before you even contact that realtor for the first time. You got to work on your credit, you got to work on your down payment, you've got to get that pre-approval letters, which most good realtors are going to expect you to have before you even contact them.
Jeremy Goodrich:             Because really if you go out and you see a house and you love it and it's awesome and it's perfect and you don't have the money to pay for it because that's what the mortgage lender is going to do, right?

So here we are at episode nine and we are ready to go and find that person who can walk us through the process, who knows the local market and understands what's going on with houses in the price range that you need to be at. What's good about that price range, what problems you'll find in that space, whether it's really hard to find a home for say $200,000 if that's what you're looking for. Or if there's lots out there on the market and you have some leverage in the way that you make offers and stuff like that.
Jeremy Goodrich:             Realtors obviously are the experts in not only how to buy and sell homes, but what's going on in the home market in your community. And so the person you pick has got to be somebody good, somebody right for you, someone who fits your personality and is actually going to care about you, not just about making the money at the end of the deal. There are all sorts of great service providers out there in all industries, real estate, insurance like I am and everywhere else and there's lots of terrible ones too. There are people who are out there really trying to make your life better, to really truly help you. And there are people that are just trying to make money off of you and of course everybody has to make some money, right? Like its part of business, but there's people
