Yanis Y. ,

Amazing Source Of Information!!

I am so lucky and grateful to have stumbled on this podcast! I came here from Jeb’s Youtube and I have learned so much from these guys! I used to feel clueless and overwhelmed whenever I thought about what it is like to buy a home. Now, I feel so much more prepared and comfortable with the home purchasing process. I truly cannot thank you guys enough, I owe a lot to both of you!

iEdgard ,

Educated info for all - boom!

These guys know their stuff but more importantly they do not confuse people with real estate jargon - they give info to us like if we were a young child or a golden retriever
Good Info , useful info , educated info
I got my house following their info and guidance

Boom! I’m a home owner with a sick house and 2.7% interest rate
I watch their live videos and listen to this podcast for extra info - good to keep up with latest info even when i already have a house
