Podcast – You Need a Team to Buy a House

It takes a village to raise a child and it takes a team to buy a house. In the latest episode of the New England Business Alliance Podcast, we see what kind of team you need beside you in the homeowner journey.

First up is a great financial advisor (Jane Harris) who can make sure you’ve got the assets you need. You’ll then need a fantastic mortgage expert (Natalie Malinowski) who can find you the best rates and get you preapproved. And of course, you need an experienced Realtor (Michelle Tenaglia) to find your new home and guide you through the process. And finally, you’ll need the right real estate attorney (Anjali Stevenson) to make sure you’re legally protected. And once you’re in your new home, don’t forget about life insurance (back to Jane) to make sure your family can keep your house if something happens to you.
