“There has to be a better way . . .”
Hey! I’m Nick. And I built the DIY Homebuyer Academy — a community, educational platform, and coaching program for homebuyers who want more control and bigger savings in the home buying process.
Five years ago, I was just like many of you – eager to build wealth through real estate but frustrated by the thousands of dollars going to agent commissions. While working with a great agent friend on my first investment properties (including a fun adventure converting basements into Airbnbs!), I kept seeing those $15,000 buyer's agent fees on my closing statements.
That got me thinking: What if I could help people save that money instead?
From Agent to Advocate
My quest to understand the real estate industry from the inside led me to:
Complete 120 hours of real estate coursework
Earn my license
Join a respected home builder's sales team
Work with hundreds of unrepresented buyers
Launch my own successful real estate business
But here's what really opened my eyes: Most of my clients were incredibly capable people who only hired agents because they thought they had to. They didn't realize they could access many of the same tools, information, and documents themselves.
Why I Started DIY Homebuyer Academy
The real estate industry has a secret it doesn't want you to know: You can buy a home without a buyer's agent. And you can save serious cash ($15,000 or more!) every time you do.
I believe in:
Empowering buyers to take control of their real estate journey
Making home buying more transparent and accessible
Helping you save money for what really matters
My Promise to You
I'm not here to be your agent – I'm here to be your guide. Through DIY Homebuyer Academy, I'll show you how to:
Navigate the home buying process with confidence
Access the same tools professionals use
Understand contracts and negotiations
Save thousands on your purchase
Build valuable skills for future real estate transactions
Rather than your real estate Uber driver, think of me as your real estate GPS system: giving you step-by-step guidance while empowering you to stay behind the wheel for one of life's biggest financial decisions.
Let's Change Real Estate Together
The 2024 NAR lawsuit changes have created the perfect opportunity for a revolution in home buying. More people than ever are questioning the traditional buyer's agent model and looking for alternatives.
You don't need to pay tens of thousands of dollars for someone to open doors and fill out paperwork. What you need is knowledge, confidence, and a guide who's been there before.
That's where I come in.
