Home Buyer Education

Come and learn the “ins” and “outs” of buying a home. This class covers all home buyer education requirements for any loan or down payment program. You will gain knowledge in regards to shopping for a lender and loan programs, become familiar with loan documents, and a lot more (See the agenda below for more info). Our teachers are certified by AHECI (American Homeowner Education and Counseling Insitute) and NeighborWorks.

If you are applying for a loan, mortgage insurance or down payment program which requires home buyer education, you need to attend the home buyer class and participate in personal pre-home ownership counseling. Please call us for an appointment.
