It might be good to know a little about me!

I grew up in California, you will here me reference it throughout the course, and I was lucky enough to go to college where I majored in Urban Planning.  I then became an Urban Planner at the City of San Diego working in a variety of departments, Zoning, Growth Management, Long Range Planning, Community Planning. I jumped ship and went to work in the private sector, processing all kinds of permits where I only lost in one hearing but, I turned it over to a consultant and we won on appeal.   My personal life took a turn and I moved to New Mexico where I worked at the State and Local level ending up as a Planning Director.  Once again, I moved to the east coast and ended up in the Boston Area where I sold real estate as real estate salesperson and broker for 20 years.

Additionally, I have a MA in Historic Preservation, took the Appraising Classes and Exam administered by the Appraisal Institute, Real Estate Broker and I'm Certified as a Credit Counselor with Freddie Mac.

It's taken me a long time to put this class together and I hope to help you in every aspect of the homebuying process.  It can be scary, overwhelming and even though I was in the field so to speak when I bought my first house - boy was I unprepared! I wish I had something like this when I bought my first, second and third house. 

With buyer's remorse well over 50% something needs to change and I hope you learn, feel empowered and become a savvy first time homebuyer!
