first time buyers: Helping First Time Buyers Buy Homes
- 08/11/20 01:23 PM
A couple of years ago, I made a deliberate pivot in my marketing to focus on young people making their fist home purchase. My thought process was this: I have my own young people and I understand their thoughts and challenges when buying a home. I have a lot of experience and am excited to share it. For many of us, selling a home and purchasing another is just part of series of such transactions. Laws and rules vary by state, but we have lived the emotions already. We know what to expect. Working with a first time buyer is completely different. Not … (0 comments)
