First-time buyer class in a Texas Hill Country classroom

Buyer Masterclass · 90 Minutes · No Cost to Attend

The whole buying process, taught in one sitting.

Ninety minutes. One instructor. Every stage of the transaction — pre-approval, loan programs, offers, inspections, appraisal, closing — explained the way it actually works. You leave knowing what to expect, what to watch for, and what a realistic path forward looks like for your situation. No sales pitch. Nothing to buy in the room.

What you'll actually learn

The honest version of the buying process — not the brochure version.

Every module answers a question first-time buyers actually ask, using real numbers and real examples from Central Texas transactions.

01

What you can actually afford

How lenders calculate qualification, what DTI means, the difference between pre-qualified and pre-approved, and why the online affordability calculators are usually wrong.

02

Loan programs that fit real situations

Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, down-payment assistance, first-time buyer programs — what each is designed for, who qualifies, and when to use which.

03

What your monthly payment really includes

Principal, interest, taxes, insurance, PMI, HOA. How Texas property taxes work. What escrow does. Why the "payment" a lender quotes and the payment you actually make can differ.

04

How offers are actually won

Price is one lever. Terms, financing type, appraisal contingencies, option period, closing timeline — all of it matters, and knowing how the seller reads your offer changes what you write.

05

Inspections, appraisal, closing

What each step is looking for, what can derail a deal, how to negotiate repairs, and what happens between contract and keys — day by day.

06

Questions you didn't know to ask

The full second half is Q&A. Ask anything about your situation, your credit, your neighborhood, your timeline. This is where the real learning usually happens.

Who this is for

Anyone thinking about buying in the next 3 to 18 months.

You don't need to be pre-approved. You don't need a specific timeline. You don't need to be sure. The Masterclass is designed for buyers at the exact moment they're just starting to take the idea seriously — before they've talked to a lender, before they've toured a home, before they've committed to anything.

If you're further along and already shopping, the 1:1 consultation is probably a better fit — that's where we get into your actual numbers and specific properties.
