The Biggest Myth Keeping You From Buying a Home

from College Real Estate Coach · host Vikki Grodner

Think you have to wait until 40 to buy your first home? Think again. In this episode of College Real Estate Coach, Vikki Grodner is joined by Royce Dickerson — who purchased his first home in his 20s while in grad school — and Ken Grodner, co-owner of Hospitality Network Group at Keller Williams. They unpack: • Why the “you can’t afford it yet” narrative isn’t always true • How young professionals are buying sooner than expected • The structure behind a vetted nationwide agent referral network • Why referrals don’t cost buyers more — but do protect them • How relocation buyers, renters, and parents of students benefit from expert guidance Whether you’re exploring Tuscaloosa real estate, Birmingham real estate, college-town investing, relocation for UAB or the University of Alabama, or simply wondering if now is the right time to buy — this conversation provides clarity. Real estate isn’t just a transaction. It’s a relationship. And having the right team in your corner changes everything. Hospitality Network Group at Keller Williams Client focused .
