Welp, it's 50 whole minutes, but lots of solid info in here. Hope it helps!

Quick note: I was a bit harsh about a lender providing a Loan Estimate at pre-approval. There are compliance departments that don't allow some lenders to issue LEs without a property address because an LE is a legal document. If a lender can't provide a Loan Estimate at pre-approval, that's ok. BUT, at minimum get a Loan Estimate from 3 different lenders once you're under contract.

As a residential real estate attorney in New York and New Jersey, I can attest that this is some really solid info! Nicely done Max!

Today I closed on my new home! This video was incredibly helpful for guiding me along the way and keeping organized. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to PLAN, be PATIENT, be PERSISTENT, and have a clear financial picture of yourself! It will make everything so much smoother!

Hands down the best home buying video I’ve ever watched!!!! Thank you

[loveandlingerie]

This was really helpful. I’m 31 with 3 babies. Living in a 1 bedroom loft. That I turned into a 2 bedroom. I’m interested in my babies and my future. I’m ready to start planning this. I took a lot of notes. Thank you.

[kenishasmith]

I got my note book and started taking notes! Thank you so much for this, I’ve got enough money saved and my credit score is over 800 and still I was a bit scared to start the process because this all seems like a lot, but after watching this video I’m ready to start the process.Thanks again!

Real Estate Agent here. This video is 💯 accurate. “Most experienced” is NOT always the best. I’m 2 years in and gain a lot of business from people who fired their agent they hired based on experience. Most the time those agents are indeed great in most areas other then the most important (IMO)…. Availability & Patient enough to listen & teach.

Also, I avoid being a dual-agent because I agree, most the time it’s not in either of your clients best interest.

Don’t chase the money, chase the referrals and repeat business by giving individual attention.

[sarahendres]

Just sent in my first offer - thanks to your videos I'm about to take a walk with calm energy instead of being a ball of nerves waiting to hear back. Thanks for all the time and energy you put into these videos!

[alviinusa]

Whos has nothing in pockets/savings🥹though watching full 49 minutes for satisfaction like me ? Hope and best wishes for future projects everyone ♥️

[brose]

We just started seriously diving into the home buying process. At the point of waiting for the right one to come along! This video is SO helpful and I'm recommending your channel to everyone I know... even people who dont want to buy a house hopefully itll show them that its totally doable as long as you're prepared and patient. Thank you for your work!

[ppowers]

We close on our “dream” home next week. We didn’t find this channel until after we already put in an offer but your videos have helped ease our mind and prepare us for the process. Thanks for the help!

[arosad]

I watched this video when it first went up. Today, we closed on our first home. We get our keys tomorrow. Thank you Kyle for all the informative videos.

And to my fellow buyers, having all your docs saved on a google account is a game changer.

[honeyhoney]

As a first time buyer doing some research I was feeling somewhat overwhelm but I gained so much knowledge after watching this video. Thank you for creating not only such informative content but for explaining everything so clearly so that It all makes sense. I didn't feel overwhelm processing all the information at all because you are great at what you do. Thank you again.

[HenryDelRosario]

This is amazing. Every home buyer should be required to watch this video! It's also really good to watch repeatedly after certain steps you've accomplished to refresh and see insights you haven't realized compared to prior viewings. Thanks!

[lvmeonly]

I love how you explain and clarify each step... thank you for your time
