Jen Mejan and Deborah Danhof came highly recommended by several people that I love and trust. Ralph and I were shopping for homes at the height of the COVID real estate bubble, and we had just about given up on homeownership. We went through several different agents that were unresponsive, sometimes flaky, and seemingly out for themselves. We understood that it was a business transaction, but we also wanted to work with someone who understood that buying a home is an emotional process as well. It’s stressful, and for us, it was brand new.
They helped us find a home that was perfect for us, answered all of our questions, and negotiated a killer deal during an unprecedented time in which folks were being outbid by hundreds of thousands of dollars for homes that didn’t seem worth what people were paying.
One of the lessons I learned during the home buying process was that I should have done my homework a lot sooner. I could have bought a home YEARS before I actually did, but I lacked the resources and the know-how.
I bring you an episode that is as fun as it is informative. You had questions, I asked them, and I got your answers! I even got answers to the questions you didn’t ask, such as “do you have any favorite real estate stories.” I got chills hearing about a haunted house situation, and you probably will too.
It’s a great episode. It was so much fun to record. I’ll admit that I don’t feel optimistic about the current state of the real estate market, but I still think it’s possible to get educated on what you can afford and figure out where you’ll need to go to land that house you’ve always wanted.
