In this episode of Stunning, we sit down with Stephanie Morgan from NRE to talk about what it’s really like to buy, remodel, and build equity in your own home. Stephanie shares her firsthand experience of purchasing a 1970s fixer-upper early in her marriage a project that tested her patience, taught her the value of planning, and ultimately shaped her approach to real estate.

From outdated carpet and torn linoleum to reconfiguring the kitchen and bathrooms by hand, Stephanie explains how years of steady work transformed that first home into a valuable property and gave her a deep appreciation for the process.

In this episode of Stunning, we chat with Lori and Jeff Collins from EXP Realty. Lori shares what she’s learned from years in the business, Jeff talks about why helping first-time buyers is so rewarding, and together they clear up common misconceptions about real estate like the real difference between pre-approval and pre-qualification.

They also open up about their own journey, from buying their first home for just $28,000 to building a life and career together. It’s part real estate advice, part love story, and all about helping people take that first step toward homeownership.
