What can your homebuyer courses do for me?
Buying your first home can be a very exciting time in your life. But it can also be a confusing and often stressful time, too. After all, you're about to make one of the biggest purchases you'll ever make, and there are countless questions that a first-time homebuyer should be asking, such as: Am I paying too much for the house? Is my interest rate too high? Is it a safe neighborhood? Is it a good school system? How much are the property taxes? Is the house structurally-sound? Our courses help you understand the entire process.
