Buying a Home, Clearly—The Buyer’s Reality Check Series

A Phase-by-Phase Guide to

Buying a Home

Most buyer guides explain what happens during a real estate transaction.
Very few talk about how it feels while it’s happening.

The uncertainty.
The waiting.
The fear of making the “wrong” decision.
The moments where logic and emotion collide.

At Cindy Coggins Realty Group, our role is to help buyers understand the process, evaluate tradeoffs, and make informed decisions at each stage of the purchase.

That’s why we’re launching a new evergreen blog series designed specifically for buyers—one that pairs clear explanations with practical tools buyers can use to evaluate options and make informed decisions at each stage of the process:

The Buyer’s Reality Check Series

This series walks through the entire home-buying journey, phase by phase—not just explaining the process, but addressing the real stress points buyers experience along the way.

Each article will focus on:

• What’s happening behind the scenes
• Why certain phases feel overwhelming
• How to think clearly (financially and emotionally)
• How to protect your future self from regret
• What actually matters—and what doesn’t

Whether you’re:

• Just starting to think about buying
• Actively house hunting
• Under contract and feeling the pressure
• Or settling into homeownership

This series is built so you can jump in at any stage, or read straight through as a complete guide.
