“First Time Home Buying 101” Event Recap

by Dallas SWE on in Professional Development

On August 31st, Dallas SWE hosted a Professional Development Event titled “First Time Home Buying 101” with speaker Rachel Gaspar, a Mechanical Engineer turned Real Estate agent. The event was aimed at providing attendees with the knowledge and resources needed to successfully navigate the home buying process.

Rachel covered a range of important topics, including the timeline involved in purchasing a home, the costs associated with the process, market updates, and helpful resources for first-time homebuyers. Attendees were engaged throughout the session and participated in a lively Q&A session with Rachel. Many of the questions focused on the specifics of the home buying process, such as option money and the option time window.

The market update provided attendees with valuable metrics that helped them understand the current state of the housing market. The metrics included the average price per square foot, average selling price percentage of original list price, days spent on the market, and average price. Attendees left the event feeling more informed about the home buying process and empowered to make informed decisions.

Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many stating that the home buying process no longer seemed overwhelming. Rachel’s expertise and ability to break down complex concepts into easily digestible pieces were highly praised. Attendees appreciated the opportunity to ask questions and receive personalized advice from a seasoned professional.

Overall, the event was a success, providing attendees with valuable knowledge and resources to help them achieve their dream of homeownership. The event was a testament to Dallas SWE’s commitment to providing professional development opportunities that help its members succeed in their careers and personal lives.
