First Time Buyers Educated

Should I call a realtor or a lender first?

Yet you're still determined to buy your first home. You're saving every penny, cutting back on dinners out, and watching your bank account climb. You've been Zillow scrolling for so long, you could tell someone the price per square foot in your neighborhood off the top of your head. But you have no idea how to buy a house.

Even though you swore it was “the last time.”

you've renewed your lease for the third year in a row...

Do I need to get pre-approved now or wait?

Do I have enough for a down payment?

How do I pick an agent?

Of course you don't know where to start. No one taught you how to buy a house. But that ends here, friend!

How much the right guide matters.

THAT EXPERIENCE MADE ME REALIZE

Your home buying expert!

A few years ago, I was engaged, renting in Philadelphia, and absolutely convinced we weren't ready to buy yet. Then, we adopted an 80-pound dog named Lucky and very quickly realized we needed more space. So we started searching, and let me tell you…I was overwhelmed.

Which was surprising because I spent 5 years as a realtor specializing in first time home buying and another year and a half as a mortgage loan officer. So I knew things most first time buyers don't. And even then, I was nervous.

There is nothing I love more than helping someone buy their first home. Because I've seen what the wrong agent and zero guidance can cost someone.

How It Works

Here's something most first-time buyers don't know: the first step to buying your home isn't getting pre-approved or searching Zillow for the perfect house. It's connecting with the right agent. Not all agents are good agents. A FAME agent is first-time buyer-friendly, available, market knowledgeable, and experienced.

I've spent years building a network of over 500 vetted FAME agents across all 50 states. Every single one has been personally interviewed by me. So when I match you with your first time home buyer agent, it's personal.

POV: "We got the house!"

Tessa & Joshua | Raleigh, NC

"We were out of state buyers and her team worked with us virtually to make the process as seamless and easy to understand as possible. They were with us through it all and still keep in contact to this day. They also helped to connect us to our wonderful lending team so that took a lot of worry and stress off our plate as well."

Our FAME agent was fantastic!

Madeline W. | Clinton, MI

"My previous agent didn't listen to my requests or opinions, and bull dozed over them - even going so far as to ignore me. He did not do the same for my male partner, though. Our FAME agent respected our opinions and treated us as equal partners with her in the home buying process - even though she was teaching us along the way."

Connecting with a FAME agent was a complete win.

Victoria and Anthony J. | Illinois

"She was there every step of the process. To our showings, asking questions, and even at the end helped us with list, and just made the process again be so smooth."

Our FAME agent changed our experience

Kimmie R. | New York

"Before connecting with a FAME agent, I felt unequipped to take on the homebuying process, especially as a first-time home buyer purchasing out of state. I had no clue what kind of down payment I'd need, how to write a competitive offer, or how to get pre-approved. My FAME agent went above and beyond to walk me through the entire process from start to finish."

My agent helped me feel informed and confident.

Sarah and Geoff.

"I didn't know where to start but the Homebuying 101 class taught me the process and what to expect, how to get started, and answered all the questions I had so I felt confident and prepared throughout the whole process. I feel like we had a step up on other first time buyers in a super competitive market because of the tips from the class."
