The AuthentiKC Podcast with Tanner & Jared

Summer can be a distraction for homebuyers. Between vacations, busy schedules, and family activities, many buyers hit pause on their home search. But could that actually work in your favor? We talk about why summer may be the perfect time to start looking—or take a second look at homes you've already passed on—while there's often less competition and more opportunity. 

In this bonus episode, we’re comparing parenthood and homeownership —because honestly, they’re way more alike than you think. From planning and panic-Googling to big emotions, bigger responsibilities, and “are we really ready for this?” moments, we’re breaking it all down with humor and real talk. If you’ve survived one (or are thinking about either), this episode is for you 😄  And UPDATE: Tanner...
