Austin meet your First “Home” Team! Helping buyers learn the process of buying your 1st Austin Home.

Welcome to First Home Team 🎉

If you’re a first-time home buyer in Austin — or relocating here for work, tech, or entrepreneurship — this channel is for you.

In this first video, Sam Sells the City (Austin real estate) and Lending by Liz (local mortgage lending) break down something most buyers get completely wrong:

👉 Buying a home does NOT start with finding the house.
It starts with financing.

Too many buyers jump straight to Zillow, fall in love with a home, and then realize they aren’t prepared to buy it. We’re here to change that.

In this episode, we cover:
• Why pre-approval comes before house hunting
• What lenders actually look for (and what they don’t)
• How to get your paperwork and finances dialed in
• Common mistakes first-time buyers make (and how to avoid them)
• How the Austin market really works right now
• When it’s finally time to go find the dream home

First Home Team exists to educate, not pressure.
We walk you through the buying process step by step so you can move confidently, competitively, and smart — especially in a market like Austin.

Whether you’re:
• Buying your first home
• Relocating to Austin
• A tech professional or entrepreneur
• Or just trying to understand the market before you jump in

You’re in the right place.
