What’s it really like to buy your first home in Utah? In this episode of The Dirt on Real Estate, host Will Bennett, Licensed Utah Realtor, sits down with Drew—a first-time home buyer who just closed on a townhome in Utah County. Drew shares what the process was like, what caught him off guard, and what he and his wife would do differently next time.
From navigating mortgage pre-approval to managing expectations and compromises, this episode walks through the entire journey of buying a first home in today’s competitive Utah Real Estate market. You’ll hear practical tips on finding the right home, communicating with your real estate agent, and what to expect during closing—including why you may never speak directly to the seller.
Drew also offers advice for other young buyers facing big life changes—like a new baby—and trying to time a home purchase just right. If you're a first-time buyer or helping someone who is, this episode is packed with relatable insights and lessons learned.
Whether you’re planning your first move or already in the thick of it, this episode delivers real stories and expert perspective to help you feel confident buying your first home in Utah.
