Celebrate Homeownership Month-Take a Free Home Stretch Class!
Free Homebuyer Education Classes in June for Homeownership Month!
Let SEMMCHRA help you achieve your dream of owning a home. Whether you are just starting to think about buying a home or applying for a mortgage, SEMMCHRA can help.
An important, but often overlooked, part of the homebuying process is attending a homebuyer education class. SEMMCHRA provides Home Stretch, an 8-hour homebuyer education class. Attending the class gives participants the opportunity to learn about the entire homebuying process from lenders, real estate agents, and housing counselors. In some cases, completing a homebuyer education class is required by lenders before you can close on your home. Buying a home is the most expensive thing most people ever purchase. Be an informed, prepared buyer with Home Stretch.
Currently, all SEMMCHRA’s Home Stretch classes are being offered online. You can take the class from the comfort of your own home. It has never been easier to attend a workshop and all classes in June are FREE! SEMMCHRA’s entire Home Stretch schedule can be found at https://www.semmchra.org/home-ownership/homebuyer-education-classes/.
