I am so over corporate America. This is BS. I just want a slow life in a pleasant place with affordable living. And some extra cash to travel. That’s it. I’m done with this fast pace life 😭

[@megan9081]

Brooke have you ever thought about getting into real estate career wise? I could totally see you doing something along those lines! Especially like luxury/high end real estate

[@stephgamboa626]

Brooke you are so in your element here, love it! Fantastic and informative video❤

[@brookemiccio]

thank you!!!!!! thank you for watching

[@nataliereyes2447]

Love this series!! Happy Saturday!!

[@hayleyjensen915]

Love that you’re doing this series! As a mortgage lender myself, I wish there had been a little more info shared on what a lender does, how they can help you, and how they will partner with your agent. The financing side can be super intimidating, but having the right person on your side who can communicate and educate you for your current purchase and your long term real estate goals is crucial to your success as a home owner :)

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Brooke happy Saturday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@ohmyword1234]

If I was making $62,000 or less there is absolutely no way I’d be able to afford the monthly payments on something that was 500,000 dollars… I can’t even do that on two incomes that’s almost triple that 🤯

[@SarahSchneider2]

Great explanation on owning an apartment because I was always confused about it. For some reason renting a house made sense to me but owning an apartment didn’t make sense in my mind before this

[@primrosed2338]

Love Johnathan's personality!

[@abbybollinger2885]

Love this video! You should make a part 3 explaining how the rates work! That might also be more universal for ppl who don’t live in the city

[@thebabyperks]

I own my home in Kansas City but it’s so interesting to learn more about renting/buying in other places! Looking forward to seeing more real estate content in the future ☺️

[@courtperk11]

In the Office > In the Lab. Loved this style of video Brooke! Can't wait to see where you and Ben end up

[@LexieLombard]

Wow I just learned so much

[@emiliaranta3858]

You guys have a very good dynamic. You would have an amazing tv show together!

[@ambertorres3947]

Even though I don’t live in NYC, this is so eye-opening 😮

[@emilygrace355]

As someone watching this from the UK... this is WILDDDD!

[@elise11168]

This was so informative! Key not to be house-poor in NYC and plan appropriately 👏

[@averygaming8707]

Happy Saturday

[@chi2om]

Can’t wait to hear what you’ve been up to

[@user-nb4fo5kd6k]

brooke you would totally rock being a real estate agent!

[@rimh7366]

Love the concept even though I don’t live in the US.

[@liviu589]
