Customer Reviews
Helpful & Informational
This podcast offers practical advice and insights for first-time homebuyers, simplifying the complex process with expert tips and relatable anecdotes.
Info meets inspo
Love this podcast. I have been listening for about two years and have gone through every episode. Not all episodes are going to pertain to your situation but there is an episode FOR every situation. I love this pod because David helps you to see that it’s an ever evolving process that’s highly dependent on about 1,000 variables. He keeps everyone updated and sincerely motivates me. I thought I couldn’t budget enough money to do this and a year later we just got approved to buy. Listen for info and stay for the inspo. ✨ “you can do it!”
I bought my home Feb, 2023 because of you!!
First started listening to your podcast middle of December 2022. I was always stuck on hoping the mortgage rates goes down to be ready to buy. A lot of tips and ideas came from you. Buy when you are able too! That’s what I did. I went into getting pre-approved just to know what I can afford going into 2023, not really looking to buy just yet. Once I got approved I dabble into my area; Fresno, CA. Found a home mid January and was able to close in 18 days!! Went 5% down and my agent Victor got me a $7,000 seller credit. Which was amazing. Thank you again for your tips and just being in existence in the podcast world. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have purchased a home this soon.
