If buying your first home is part of your plan for 2026, this two-part series is designed to give you a clear, step-by-step framework to follow.
In Part 1, Jack Elliott and Chris Bates walk through the preparation phase of buying your first home. This is the groundwork you’ll want to do before inspections or making offers, and it sets you up to move forward with confidence.
