About the Home Buying Lunch & Learn
Since 2023, Emily Hayes and the Emily Hayes Homes team have partnered with companies across Utah to deliver engaging, educational Home Buying 101 Lunch & Learn sessions designed to support employees through one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives.
These sessions were created with a simple goal: to make homeownership feel clear, approachable, and attainable—without pressure or sales tactics.
Emily is an active Utah Realtor and team leader with deep, real-world experience helping individuals and families purchase their first home, move up, and use real estate as a long-term wealth-building tool. Because she works in the market every day, the information shared is always current, practical, and relevant to today’s housing and lending landscape.
Over the years, Emily has been invited to present Lunch & Learns for companies including Lucid, Dell, Weave, Awardco, Avetta, JobNimbus, Social Climb, Kiln, Purple, Spiff, Castille, Montage, Revity, and Clozd, among others. These organizations consistently bring her in as a trusted educational resource for their employees.

Why This Matters to Your Company
Homeownership isn’t just a personal milestone — it’s tied to long-term financial stability that can reduce stress, improve focus, and lower turnover. Homeowners build significantly more wealth over time than renters, and financial wellbeing is one of the top factors influencing employee engagement and retention. Offering a free Home Buying 101 Lunch & Learn sends a clear message that your company cares about both the financial wellness and the long-term stability of your team.
