Episode 33. Buying your first home while planning a wedding? In this episode of Wedding Wednesday, I sit down with realtor Marty, who shares everything couples need to know before signing on the dotted line. From the shocking truth that 90% of homes have a hidden slope issue, to why every transaction comes down to just $5K, this conversation is packed with eye-opening advice. We dive into whether you should buy before or after the wedding, how to avoid renovation nightmares that can test your relationship, and what it really means to purchase a house without a legal guarantee. If you’re engaged, newly married, or simply curious about the home buying process, this episode is full of tips, real stories, and insider secrets that will save you stress, money, and maybe even your relationship.
