What if buying a home wasn't just a financial decision but a turning point in your story?

In this episode, we sit down with Scott Harris; top New York City agent and author of The Pursuit of Home. We unpack why the path to your front door is your hero journey and how a clear vision transforms stress into momentum. Scott’s childhood of moving between parents taught him how place shapes identity, and that insight powers his people-first approach to real estate and life.

Scott and I reframe home as a launch pad for the life you’re building. Scott shares how to slow down, build a vision before you tour, and interview agents with better questions so you feel seen and supported. We dig into his signature Magnetic Method—Activate, Align, Amplify, Attract—a simple framework that helps buyers and builders clarify what matters, rally the right partners, and stay the course when the market feels noisy. From negotiating in a high-pressure city to guiding anxious clients through big transitions, Scott shows how empathy and structure reduce overwhelm and lead to better outcomes.

You’ll get grounded habits you can use today: protect a quiet hour in the morning, limit doomscrolling about rates and politics, and communicate your vision with people who lift you. We talk about couples with different styles, the surprising stat that most buyers hire the first agent they meet, and why intention beats urgency.

Most of all, we return to a powerful truth: a well-chosen home can host community, launch a business, and anchor healing. If you’re navigating change—new parenthood, divorce, or a fresh start—this conversation offers a roadmap and the reminder that you don’t have to do it alone.
