From Renter to Homeowner: A First-Time Buyer's Roadmap
From Renter to Homeowner: A First-Time Buyer's Roadmap — Free Live Webinar for Texas Buyers
Buying your first home shouldn't feel like decoding a foreign language. If you've been "thinking about it" for a year (or three), this free 45-minute webinar will walk you through the entire home-buying process in plain English — no jargon, no pressure, no "you should've started this 10 years ago" lecture.
Hi, I'm Kim Luague, a Houston realtor with Realty of America. I've spent the last 15+ years helping first-time buyers across Texas find a place to call home — and I built this webinar to answer every question you've been Googling at 11pm.
Here's exactly what you'll walk away with:
✓ The 10-Step Buyer Roadmap — from saving your down payment to getting the keys, in order, with realistic timelines.
✓ Down Payment Truth — why you almost certainly need less than the "20% down" myth says you do, and which loan programs (FHA, VA, USDA, Conventional) are best for first-timers in Texas.
✓ Credit + Pre-Approval, Demystified — what your credit score really controls, what to fix before you apply, and why pre-approval (not pre-qualification) is the single most important step buyers skip.
✓ The Rookie Mistakes That Cost Thousands — the traps first-time buyers fall into, and exactly how to dodge them.
✓ Live Q&A — bring every question you've been afraid to ask. No question is too basic.
Your bonus for showing up: a free 15-page Texas First-Time Buyer's Guide PDF — yours to keep, full of the same step-by-step info plus checklists, glossary, and lender questions to ask. (Registered but can't make it live? I'll email the replay + PDF the next morning.)
Who this is for
- Texas renters who are "kind of" thinking about buying but don't know where to start
- First-time buyers who feel overwhelmed by the process
- People with questions like "How much do I really need saved?", "Is my credit good enough?", "Do I need an agent if Zillow exists?", or "What even IS escrow?"
- Anyone who'd like to stop paying someone else's mortgage
