It’s Okay to Be Nervous When Buying a Home—Here’s Why I Totally Understand

---

Amanda Freeman, Sales Associate

Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make—and if you’re feeling nervous, overwhelmed, or unsure, you’re not alone. I’ve been there. The mix of excitement, responsibility, and fear of making a wrong move is real. There’s a lot of pressure to “get it right,” and that can feel like a lot to carry when you’re not sure what to expect or who to trust.

Back in 2017, I bought my very first home. I was thrilled, of course—but I didn’t have a real estate agent. I went through the entire process on my own, not fully understanding what I was signing, whether I was asking the right questions, or if I was even paying a fair price. Looking back, I realize how much easier and less stressful the experience could have been if I’d had someone in my corner—someone to educate, advocate, and walk me through every step with confidence.

That experience is part of what drives me today as a realtor. I don’t just help people buy homes—I help them feel empowered, informed, and supported through one of the most emotional and exciting times of their lives. If you’re feeling nervous about buying a home, I get it. Let’s talk about your goals, your questions, and how we can make the process not just manageable, but meaningful. You don’t have to go it alone—Amanda Freeman from Homes by Breann is here to help.
