Welcome back Family! In this episode, I linked back up with Jarred Smith to break down the recent National Association of Realtors (NAR) settlement and share valuable tips for homebuyers. We dive into the changes in the real estate industry, including the shift in buyer and seller commissions, and stress the importance of transparency in agent-client relationships. We discuss why signing “Buyer Agreements” with your Agent matters, and how to make sure you get what you’re paying for.

We also cover what to look for in a real estate agent and the critical role they play in guiding you through the complexities of buying a home. From researching the market to negotiating contracts, having a trusted agent can make all the difference. Plus, we touch on the importance of affordability, planning ahead, and prepping for a smooth homebuying process.

Finally, we share tips for first-time buyers—how to get pre-approved, set realistic expectations, and find the right home without pressure.

Stay til the end for our content recommendations of the week which included new video games and our latest Netflix selections!

Thank you for listening! Stay tuned, stay curious, and as always...enjoy your first sip!
