    How to Buy a Home - Step 2: Realtors & Lenders (Choosing Your Guides)
    Oct 10 2025
    Choosing the right realtor and lender is the most important decision of your entire home-buying journey. In this foundational step of the How to Buy a Home Starter Kit, David Sidoni reveals how to build your real estate “dream team” — one that guides, protects, and empowers you from day one. This episode exposes the industry myths that keep first-time buyers confused and shows you how to find professionals who work for you, not just the deal.SynopsisMost first-time buyers think their realtor’s job is to find a house and write an offer, and their lender’s job is to get them the lowest rate. Wrong. In this episode, David breaks down the truth about what real estate and mortgage professionals are really supposed to do — act as your advocates and educators long before you ever start touring homes.You’ll learn why finding your guides early is the #1 shortcut to buying with confidence and saving money in the process. David walks through the “red flags” that signal you’re working with an order-taker instead of a true advisor, explains how fees really work (even after the 2024 NAR lawsuit), and shows you exactly what to look for in a first-time–buyer–friendly realtor and lender.This episode is all about mindset — shifting from “I can figure it out on my own” to “I deserve a team that helps me win.” You’ll walk away knowing how to interview potential agents and lenders, how to spot true advocates who will guide you through every step, and why this early investment of time can make or break your success as a homebuyer.Quote“You don’t have to do all the planning on your own — that’s the number one thing that will make or break your home-buying dreams.”HighlightsWhy Step 2 is the most important step in the 10-part homebuying processThe truth about what your lender and realtor actually doHow to avoid “door-openers” and “order-takers” who only chase transactionsThe real story behind agent fees after the 2024 NAR lawsuitHow early education with the right guides multiplies your buying powerThe mindset shift that turns confusion into confidenceRed flags to avoid when choosing your real estate teamWhat to look for in a first-time–buyer–focused realtor and lenderWhy spending 10x more time researching your team is worth itThe “personal Yoda” principle — why long-term guidance creates better outcomesReferenced Episodes[Ep. 5] The Biggest Dirty Little Secret in Real Estate[Ep. 164] START HERE: 10 Steps to Buying Your First Home[Ep. 169] Woman Power: This Single Woman Bought Her First Home[Ep. 229] What Is a Unicorn Real Estate Team?[Ep. 339] Don’t Get Pre-Qualified—Get a Plan (Interview)[Ep. 340] Down Payment Assistance, Discovery Calls & Lending Myths (Interview)[Ep. 382] 2025 Crucial Housing Market Shift Pt. 1: Rates[Ep. 383] 2025 Crucial Housing Market Shift Pt. 2: Sales, Inventory & Affordability[Ep. 384] 2025 Crucial Housing Market Shift Pt. 3: Rent Math & Buying Power[Ep. 388] The Playbook Vol. 1: The Rent Replacement Strategy[Ep. 389] The Playbook Vol. 2: Your Last Lease EverConnect with me to find a trusted realtor in your area or to answer your burning questions!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @HowToBuyaHomeInstagram @HowtoBuyAHomePodcastTik Tok @HowToBuyAHomeVisit our Resource Center to "Ask David" AND get your FREE Home Buying Starter Kit!David Sidoni, the "How to Buy a Home Guy," is a seasoned real estate professional and consumer advocate with two decades of experience helping first-time homebuyers navigate the real estate market.

  • How to Buy a Home - Step 1: Decide (The Mindset Shift)

    How to Buy a Home - Step 1: Decide (The Mindset Shift)
    Oct 8 2025
    Before credit checks, down payments, or Zillow searches — the first step is deciding. In this kickoff to the 10-step Homebuying 101 series, David Sidoni breaks down the mindset every first-time homebuyer must have before any of the practical steps even matter. If you’ve been stuck renting, overwhelmed by myths, or waiting for “the right time,” this episode will change how you see yourself — and your ability to buy a home.SynopsisMost people think the first step to buying a home is financial — checking credit, saving money, or finding a realtor. But that’s not where it starts. The first step is mental: deciding you’re ready to take control of your future.David Sidoni, founder of How to Buy a Home, reveals why every first-time homebuyer’s journey begins with a decision — a mindset shift that transforms fear into action. He exposes the biggest myths keeping renters stuck, from “you need 20% down” to “you can’t buy with student loans,” and replaces them with real numbers, data, and proof from thousands of successful buyers.Listeners learn that education is the antidote to fear. Sidoni shows that understanding the process, not having perfect finances, is what separates dreamers from doers. Backed by six years of data, he proves that 72% of people who thought they were a year away from buying discovered they were ready far sooner — once they made the decision to start.By the end, this isn’t just about houses or mortgages — it’s about finally believing you can stop renting forever.Quote“Step one is decide — because none of the other nine steps mean a damn thing if you don’t make that choice first.”— David Sidoni, How to Buy a Home PodcastHighlightsThe true first step isn’t financial — it’s mental. Deciding to move forward changes everything.Myth-busting the biggest fears: You don’t need 20% down, a six-figure income, or perfect credit to buy.Mindset = momentum. Confidence comes from education, not from already knowing everything.Proven data: 72% of buyers who thought they were a year away discovered they could buy much sooner.Clarity before chaos. The 10 steps give you a system so you can stop guessing and start planning.Empathy and empowerment. David helps first-time buyers understand that fear isn’t failure — it’s just lack of information.Referenced Episodes388 - The Playbook VOL. 1 - The Rent Replacement Strategy389 - The Playbook VOL. 2: Your Last Lease Ever382 - 2025 Crucial Housing Market Shift Pt 1: Rates383 - 2025 Crucial Housing Market Shift Pt 2: Sales, Inventory & Affordability384 - 2025 Crucial Housing Market Shift Pt 3: Rent Math & Buying Power98 - Time for A New Game Plan To Buy Your First Home – My Story355 - Real Answers Pt 4: Should I Rent or Buy in 2025?OFFICIAL 2025 EPISODE GUIDEConnect with me to find a trusted realtor in your area or to answer your burning questions!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel @HowToBuyaHomeInstagram @HowtoBuyAHomePodcastTik Tok @HowToBuyAHomeVisit our Resource Center to "Ask David" AND get your FREE Home Buying Starter Kit!David Sidoni, the "How to Buy a Home Guy," is a seasoned real estate professional and consumer advocate with two decades of experience helping first-time homebuyers navigate the real estate market.
