Heidi’s Journey from Dreamer to Homeowner - A Case Study

This episode follows Heidi's journey, a first-time home buyer and
a Home Buyer Academy graduate who shares the story of how she
went from dreaming of owning a home to actually making it a
reality.


We discuss Heidi’s journey of saving money, learning about the
home buying process, and searching for the perfect home. We dive
into the challenges she faced and the decisions she had to make
along the way (she even recounts the experience of how she almost
bought the wrong property).


Through Heidi’s story, we aim to provide practical advice and
insights for others who are considering buying their first home.
Join us as we follow her inspiring journey from dreamer to
homeowner.
