From Social Worker to Realtor: The Truth About First Time Home Buyer Programs

On this episode of Live.Laugh.Lunch&Learn, Lindsey Benton sits down with Sally Vizas, a realtor with a background in social work, to talk about how those two worlds overlap more than people think. Sally shares the "Fact First Story" framework she uses to help buyers separate what's actually true about home ownership from the stories they've been telling themselves, plus real talk on grants, down payment assistance programs, and why starting with a trusted realtor and lender matters more than chasing the "best" loan program. They also get into the lighter side of the industry, including Sally's complicated feelings about the word "realtor," why reputation matters in real estate and lending, and the story behind the name Live.Laugh.Colorado.
