Homebuyer Education

“Home Stretch”  

“This was a very good class, they gave us a lot of information and the speakers were excellent.  I carry my Home Stretch manual with me everywhere.” 
- Zina Dawson

If you are a first time homebuyer or it has been more than three years since you owned a home, please register for a Home Stretch workshop.   DON’T get trapped with the wrong mortgage product, understand the documents you are signing, be prepared with the right questions when you are ready to meet with a lender or Realtor.  The Home Stretch workshops will help you understand the in and outs of buying a home. 

We will help guide you through the process of understanding topics such as: how to qualify for mortgages, budgeting, where to find down-payment assistance funds, working with a realtor, home inspections, home maintenance, and foreclosure prevention.

We invite professionals from the housing industry to assist us with the workshops.  This is a great opportunity to ask questions directly to: lenders, Realtors, and home inspectors.  NeDA’s housing staff is of course available throughout the sessions to answer any questions you may have or to schedule a one-on-one counseling session.

The homebuyer education workshop series are 9 hours and the customer must complete the series in order to receive a completion certificate. Completion certificates are usually required by lenders who offer down payment and or closing cost assistance to first time home buyers. Each household receives a workshop manual.

There is a $35.00 fee for the workshop.  We believe this is a small and wise investment which will prepare and inform you for long-term home ownership.   

To register for a workshop today  First, check out the Homebuyer's Workshop calendar.  Or you can call us at 651-292-0131.

Don’t forget to listen to us every Friday morning on 
107.5 La Mera Buena from 9:30 – 9:45 a.m.
