A 100% free, 90-minute online workshop led by Jeb Smith and Josh Lewis
The 3-Part Homebuyer Plan That Cuts Through the Noise
Most buyers either delay too long—or jump in without a real plan. This proven 3-step blueprint helps you avoid both, so you can buy smart, buy confidently, and buy on your timeline.
Know Your Why
Avoid buyer's remorse by starting with clarity. What's your motivation? Is this a short-term move or long-term hold? We'll help you define your goals, align with your partner, and build a buying strategy that fits your life—not someone else's idea of what you "should" do.
Know Your Numbers
Forget ballparks—get your real numbers. How much can you afford? What will the monthly payment be? What will it actually cost to close? We'll walk you through loan approval, payment ranges, down payment options, and the exact cash you'll need.
Build Your Team
Don't go it alone—or get stuck with the wrong people. The right lender and agent can make or break your outcome. We'll show you how to vet them, what to ask, and connect you with pros who put your goals first—not their commissions.
You Don't Need to Be an Expert
You don't need to be a mortgage expert or market genius. You just need a clear plan and the right guide. This is where it starts.
What You'll Learn Inside the Workshop
No fluff. No generic advice. Just exactly what you need to become the most prepared buyer in any market.
✓ The Pre-Approval Blueprint
How to get fully pre-approved in 5 days or less—even if you've been told to "wait and save more."
✓ Your Real Numbers
Know your max purchase price, monthly payment, and total cash-to-close—before you talk to an agent or tour a home.
✓ The Truth About Down Payments
You do not need 20% down or perfect credit. We'll show you what actually matters—and what lenders aren't telling you.
✓ How to Decode the Market
Is it a good time to buy? Should you wait? What if rates drop? Learn how to read the signals—and ignore the noise.
✓ How to Not Get Ripped Off
Understand how rates, lender fees, and closing costs really work—so you don't get taken advantage of at the last second.
✓ Who You Should Trust
The agent or lender you choose will make or break your deal. We'll show you how to spot pros—and avoid amateurs.
