Free Home Buying Seminars

"First of all, I think it is really great what you do. These classes should almost be mandatory for anyone who is renting."
- Jon S., Seminar Attendee 10/08

Some of the subjects covered:

  • Roles of the Lender/Mortgage Broker
  • Credit
  • Pre-Approval
  • Roles of the Real Estate Agent
  • Searching for Properties
  • Contracts
  • Negotiation
  • Closing

Here are some questions that were asked during a home buyers seminar last month:

  • How much can I afford?
  • Can I get a loan to cover rehab costs?
  • When should we talk to a lender?
  • What are lender fees? What’s the norm?
  • What are points?
  • Is the downpayment different from closing costs?
  • Why do people get into ARM's vs. Fixed loans (good question especially right now)?
  • What can I do to get my credit score higher?
  • Can we still get a home if one of us has great credit and the other has not so great credit?
  • Where do I start in the negotiation process?
  • Does earnest money show the seller how serious the buyer is?
