Welcome back to another episode of our Consumer Podcast! Today's guests are our YPN Forum Chair Cassie Karkan and our Vice-Chair Aaron Rich! We were lucky to have them stop by the recording studio to discuss the very basics of working with a REALTOR as a potential first time home buyer. What are the basic things necessary to know? How long is the projected home-buying timeline? Do you have to work with your REALTOR for a certain amount of time?

All basic and entry level questions are answered here - if you're looking to buy, this one's for you!
