About this Event
Thinking about buying a house someday… but not sure where to start — or how to make sure you're making a smart move when you do?
Come grab a specialty coffee with us at Brim in Edina on Saturday, October 17th from 1:00–2:30 PM for a casual afternoon all about buying your first home.
Spanish-speaking support available / Se habla español!
No boring seminar. No sales pitch. Just real conversations about what it actually takes to go from “maybe we should buy a house?” to confidently getting the keys to a home you feel good about owning.
We'll break down the homebuying process in a way that actually makes sense — from financing and getting pre-approved to understanding the market, finding the right home, writing a strong offer, navigating inspections, closing, and everything in between.
We'll get into questions like:
• How much do I actually need to buy a home — and do I really need 20% down?
• How do I know what I can comfortably afford versus what I'm approved for?
• How do I know what a home is actually worth — and whether I'm getting a good deal?
• What should I look for in a home to help protect my investment long-term?
• How can I spot potential red flags before I fall in love with a house?
• What can I negotiate besides the purchase price?
• How do inspections work, and what should I actually be concerned about?
• How does the current market change the way I should approach buying?
• What strategies can help me compete for the right home without overpaying?
• What first-time buyer programs and financing options should I know about?
And of course, bring your own questions.
Whether you're completely new to the process, already crunching the numbers, or you've spent the last six months scrolling through homes online, this afternoon is for you.
¿Prefieres español? ¡Bienvenidos! The presentation will be in English, with Spanish translations included in the printed materials. Spanish-speaking support will also be available throughout the event for questions and additional explanation.
Your first specialty coffee drink is on us.
Come hang out with Josie Johnson & Alex Vargas, grab a coffee, ask your questions, and leave with a better understanding of not just how to buy your first home — but how to buy it well.
Space is limited — RSVP to save your spot!
