For me so far you have been the only one that has been more detailed about what it takes to purchases home. We actually are also wanting to move to Texas from the O.C. but not anytime soon though. This video was perfect for us to watch and get some idea as to what it takes to purchase our first home. Now thanks to you we have some idea what it takes, you didn’t have to do this but I truly appreciate that you did. Loving your videos btw new subscriber right here. 🥰🥰♥️♥️ Blessings for your and on your new journey with your new home hope and pray everything works out in your favor 🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️♥️🥰🥰 Godspeed!🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️♥️🥰🥰

I agree, KZreadrs only show the end not the in between... def appreciative of you sharing this journey... I hope your viewers planning to buy a home take all of these tips in consideration. A few videos ago, you said you were looking for a feeling when you found THE HOUSE- THIS IS THE FEELING... Also, when you were talking to your friend about getting the house and saying “I need to call my parents” I almost cried 🥺 reminded me of how fast everything went for me from that moment to the day I got the keys.... ENJOOOOOY THIS SEASON AND EVERY STEP GIRL! so proud of you and cannot wait to see the reveal of the house 🏡💛

I went to visit at 7pm after work and put the offer in right then and I did asking plus full closing costs. That’s what put me over the edge of other people who offered more but not closing costs.

The tips you shared are things that our team aims to educate first-time homebuyers about because we understand that the home buying process can seem daunting, especially right now with the low housing inventory & low-interest rates. Thank you again for sharing your experience! I am going to recommend this video to our first-time homebuyers as a resource. :)

    🎉 Congrats on your home Jeanine!! just bought my first house in Dallas as well! It was exhausting honestly. But I got lucky. My bonus mom was my realtor and she found one on a Friday 12/18, We looked at it on Saturday 12/19, I put in an offer on 12/21, and I closed on 1/6. But that was after looking at what felt like a zillion properties. I love it. I haven’t moved in yet. But it’s been a lot lol. Buying a house is expensive. I feel like I’ve been shelling out cash left and right lol. It’s perfect for me and I’m excited. But LORD, I do not have any interest in going through that process anytime soon. It was so overwhelming. But by the grace of God I’ll be ringing in 30 in my brand new house 🎉

    How much is the PMI insurance? Is it a one time price or is it every month? How much would it be total eventually? Thanks.
