Wine & Wealth: Home Buying Seminar — Forget Rent, Let’s Own in 2026

Event Description

Buying a house can seem like a daunting task — but it doesn’t have to be. In fact, 88% of all real estate transactions are completed with the help of an agent. The key is building the right team — a realtor who guides you, a lender who cares about your best interests, and a title company that protects you from the unseen.

That’s exactly what you’ll get at this month’s Wealth & Wine event. I’ll be joined by Dave Fritz of Direct Mortgage Loans and Nate Kish of Legacy Settlement Services for a straightforward conversation about preparing for homeownership in 2026 — from pre-approval to closing.

Join us at Stem & Vine for an exclusive afternoon of insights, connection, and clarity — hosted by Jeffery Holmes, MBA, CFP®, Realtor® with the Bob Lucido Team of Keller Williams.

Event Highlights

• Insights from Jeffery Holmes, CFP®, Realtor®: Learn how to prepare financially, understand the homebuying process, and position yourself to own in 2026.
