About this episode
The girls are catching up on some big news — Rachel bought a house! She’s the last person who thought homeownership would be part of her 2025 story, but things took a turn. Rachel shares why she was hesitant to buy in St. Louis, what changed her mind, and how she approached the process with both practicality and heart.
Hot Tips from the Episode:
- ✅ Do key projects before moving in — it’s so much easier!
- 💰 Understand what an appraisal gap means (and how it affects your offer).

- 🔍 Choose a realtor who listens, educates, and helps you feel confident.
