first-time buyers came to me convinced that homeownership just wasn’t in the cards for them.

We looked at 14 homes together, and eventually found two that they absolutely loved. We submitted offers on both and crossed our fingers. The very next day, one seller came back and agreed to all of our terms. Even better? We negotiated $12,000 in seller concessions, which meant my buyers needed a lot less money out of pocket to get into their home. They closed just in time for Christmas and have absolutely fallen in love with their house.

Here’s my favorite part, They’ve told me more than once that they actually spend less now on their mortgage and bills than they did living in their apartment.
