First Time Home Buyer Course for Massachusetts Residents
The First Time Home Buyer course consists of 8 hours of education providing first time home buyers an overview of the home buying process from home search to closing.
This is just one course Housing Assistance offers to support home buyer education. There is also our First Steps to Home Ownership course and a financial literacy course called Money Matters. Both are available free of charge.
Our panelists include: a local lender, attorney, REALTOR®, home inspector, insurance agent, and a representative from MassHousing. The class presentations detail the important aspects of each phase of the home purchase process and provide a comfortable atmosphere to learn about the process and ask questions from knowledgeable professionals.
Course Benefits
Upon completion of the course, the participant is issued a Certificate of Completion which is valid for two years throughout Massachusetts and is required for many first-time home buyer loan products such as MassHousing. The Certificate issued also meets HUD’s group education requirements.
