Think you're years away from buying your first home? You might be closer than you think. In this episode, real-life first-time buyers Tyler and Erin share how they went from overwhelmed to owning a home in just 90 days — all by finding the right help and staying focused on what really mattered.

Buying a home in one of the most expensive markets in the country might sound impossible — especially if you're trying to DIY the whole thing. But Tyler, a self-described spreadsheet guy, learned that numbers aren't enough. Once he and Erin connected with a unicorn real estate team through How to Buy a Home, everything changed. In this interview, they walk us through their fast-track journey from research to keys in hand — including the mindset shifts, practical tips, and surprising ease of the process once they had the right guidance.

You’ll learn:

  • Why talking to your boss might be the first step in buying a home
  • How Erin and Tyler chose a “must-have” that simplified everything
  • What made them realize they were ready — even when they didn’t feel like it
  • How unicorn agents make fast, informed decisions easier for buyers

This story will challenge your assumptions and remind you: you don’t have to do this alone.

Quote: "It can be overwhelming, but having one or two things to focus on — like a good kitchen — helped us feel grounded."

Highlights:

  • Tyler and Erin closed on their New Jersey home in just 90 days
  • Tyler emphasized the need to prep your employer for schedule flexibility
  • Erin highlighted the power of choosing one “must-have” to stay focused
  • Working with a unicorn agent clarified their finances and sped up the process
  • Their experience reveals many buyers are closer to ready than they think
