The first step on the road to home ownership is to attend our nationally accredited Homebuyer Education Class. Taught by NeighborWorks® America certified instructors, the class will teach you everything you need to become a successful homeowner. Budgeting, credit, working with realtors, shopping for a loan, and learning how to maintain a home are just some of the topics covered. After completion, you will be well-prepared to navigate through the homebuying process.
Classes are offered on evenings and Saturdays to accommodate the working public.
See our homebuyer education class schedule.

After successful completion of the Homebuyer Education Class, you will be eligible to work individually with a counselor to develop a personal homeownership plan. We can help you examine your finances, determine price range, establish a savings program and address any credit issues. We can assist you to repair bad credit or demonstrate credit worthiness, so that you can qualify for a mortgage. Our counselors work with you for as long as you need until you achieve your goal of homeownership.
Our counseling services do not stop once you purchase a home. We offer post-purchase counseling specifically designed to provide you with information on home maintenance, home safety, homeowners insurance, budgeting, refinancing, and more.
| Fees | Homebuyer Counseling is FREE. However, there is a per person fee for credit reports. |
