What this session covers
This session is ideal for first-time buyers and anyone who wants a clear, confident starting point before touring homes or talking to a lender. The Shaina McAndrews Team focuses on an “education first, no pressure” approach, emphasizing guidance over sales.
Key topics include:
The full home buying process, start to finish.
What needs to happen before you start looking at homes, including preparation steps and timing.
What to do before speaking with a lender and common early mistakes to avoid.
How the right agent supports you through negotiations, inspections, and closing while protecting your time, money, and long-term goals.
The goal is for attendees to leave with a roadmap, realistic expectations, and a better understanding of how to position themselves for success when they are ready to buy.
About the series and who it’s for
This event is part of the Prepare to Buy a Home Series, which educates buyers on every major step of the journey, including financing, credit, inspections, and writing strong offers. The series is built to create informed, confident homebuyers who understand how each decision can affect their long-term financial future.
The class is best suited for:
First-time buyers who want to start on the right foot.
Returning buyers who have not purchased in years and want a refreshed overview.
Anyone who prefers to learn in a no-pressure, educational environment before committing to a purchase.
These events are intended for buyers who are not currently under a signed buyer representation agreement; if you are already under contract with another agent, it would be unethical for this team to provide guidance.
