VA Home Buyer Seminars

Empowering home buyers through education is the founding principal of StartingPoint Realty, which has long offered first-time buyer seminars throughout Chicago. Now, that mission is expanding to provide home buying education for armed forces veterans, reservists, active-duty personnel and surviving spouses.

Veterans have access to one of the most unique and powerful loan programs ever created for home buyers. See how the VA Loan compares to a traditional home mortgage at one of our free VA Home Buyer Seminars. StartingPoint Realty, and JP Marzano, Senior Mortgage Banker at BBMC Mortgage, will guide you through the advantages of VA loans.

“Many people who are eligible for VA home-buying benefits don’t understand them,” says Ryan Gable, founder and managing broker of StartingPoint Realty. “To solve this, we partnered with BBMC Mortgage to create home buying seminars for the VA home buying and lending process. These free seminars are offered as a public service, without any sales pitches.” Click the tabs below to see the complimentary seminar schedule at our available locations and click the link of the location/date that you’d like to attend!
