Buying a home doesn’t just change where you live.
It changes how you trust, how you ask questions, and how safe you feel making big decisions.

In this episode, Amanda Freeman and Leni Lopez share their very different home buying experiences, one as a buyer, one as an observer, and how those moments shaped the real estate professionals they eventually became.

They talk honestly about fear, power dynamics, emotional labor, and why being adjacent to the process can sometimes teach you more than signing the paperwork yourself.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, unseen, or unsure during a home purchase, and for agents who want to understand what clients are really carrying into the process.
