Homebuyer Education
Making the American Dream a Reality
The purpose of the Home Buyer Education Certification is to educate prospective homebuyers on the principles of homeownership. Home buying is a multi-step process that can be both exciting and stressful. We developed this course to educate those who have no experience in the home-buying process. It is required as part of our Homebuyer Program, but is also open to those who wish to educate themselves on the home buying process. We offer interactive online education courses through eHome America.
Course Topics
- Renting vs. owning
- Steps in the home buying process
- Understanding the role of real estate and mortgage professionals
- Determining affordability
- Creating a budget
- Understanding credit
- Types of affordable mortgage products
- Finding the right home for your family

At the completion of the course, participants will be able to determine their position in the home buying process and the steps they should take to attain the goal of a smooth process with the help of their purchasing team. Participants will also receive a certificate of completion.
