From Browsing to Belonging - Your First-Time Home Buyer Panel
2026-02-23 19:00 - 20:00 | Half Hitch Brewery
From Browsing to Belonging is a first-time home buyer panel designed for people who are curious, cautious, or quietly wondering if homeownership might be closer than they think.
If you’ve been browsing listings, saving homes, and asking “what does this actually involve?”, this conversation is for you. Our panel of local experts — including a Realtor, mortgage lenders, real estate lawyer, home inspector, and financial planner — will walk through the real steps of buying your first home, answer common questions, and help take the mystery (and stress) out of the process.
No pressure. No sales pitch. Just real talk, clear information, and space to ask the questions you’ve been holding back.
Whether buying is months away or still feels like a “someday” idea, this panel is about moving from browsing to belonging — at your own pace.
Free tickets!! Register for your free tickets on Eventbrite!!
