Home Buyer Education Options
It breaks my heart a little every time I hear someone say they hated buying their home. That’s right; people have literally said the words “Oh my gosh, I hated buying our home. I was so happy when it was over.” Ugh, that last sentence is like a little extra stab to my soul. I couldn’t stand that people were having such terrible experiences. So much so that I made it my goal to put an end to hearing these terrible words. I wanted people to get their keys on closing day and say “That was a breeze! We loved every second of buying our home, we’re a little sad it’s over.” To be honest, I was that person who felt frazzled during our home purchase. I felt like I was just stumbling through it, frantically trying to keep up with the document requests from our lender, the insurance company, the home inspector, and just answer the questions upon questions. I don’t want people to keep having the same experience. This isn’t groundhog day people. So I asked myself, how do I break the cycle? What would have helped me feel more prepared? Personally, I can’t wing things. I like facts, timelines, checklists. and knowing exactly what I’m getting myself into (if I knew my enneagram I’d insert it here). That’s why Home Schooled was created.
