Back by popular demand: Real Talk on Real Estate was a favorite session at AAWIL 2024, and it returns with a candid look at buying a home in today's market. Realtor Bonnie Lai and real estate attorney Nancy Lee bring both sides of the deal to the table.

Buying a home today looks very different than it did even a few years ago. Affordability, financing, and inventory have all shifted, and the path to ownership can feel harder to read than ever. Bonnie Lai, a top-ranked trilingual realtor and founding partner of 1st Knock Realty, and Nancy Lee, founder and managing attorney of Lee & Associates, P.C., bring both sides of the transaction to the table: the market strategy and the legal fine print. Together, they'll share what has changed, the challenges buyers are facing now, and the red flags worth watching for, with a closer look at condo ownership and what to know before you buy.

Both regularly lead first-time homebuyer seminars across Greater Boston, and this isn't a lecture. Bonnie and Nancy tailor the conversation to the people in the room, whether you're renting and wondering if you're ready, actively searching, or considering your next move. Bring your questions: they'll shape the discussion.
