Homebuyers class on tap for Sept. 18

DEBI DESILVER TERRY CNHI

CHICKASHA — If you are thinking about purchasing a home in the near future, you will want to make plans to attend the Homebuyers Education class which will be held on September 18, 2010, from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. at the Grady County OSU Cooperative Extension Service Conference Room.  To make a reservation for the class, please contact the Grady County OSU Cooperative Extension Service at 224-2216.

 Realtors, home mortgage officers, credit counselors, and extension educators will also share about purchasing a home.  Topics will include decision making and money management, credit and home loans, shopping for a dream home, and life as a homeowner.  Registration will begin at 8 a.m. with speakers scheduled throughout the day.

 Participants who attend all the sessions that day will receive a certificate of completion that could be used in the home loan application process.  The certificate will expire one year from completion of the course.

 Buying a home is not just about pricing and negotiation.  A great deal of the process has to do with how well – or how poorly – a buyer is prepared for making the purchase.  The Homebuyer education class is designed to help potential buyers analyze their current financial situation.  Also, the class will provide an opportunity to become familiar with the loan application process, different types of mortgages, and what happens at closing.  Once a home is bought, homeowners need to be prepared to maintain their home and property.  This class will review home maintenance and what is involved in that process.

 For more information about the Homebuyers Education class, contact the Grady County OSU Cooperative Extension Service at 224-2216 or on our website at www.oces.okstate.edu/grady. 

It is at 828 W. Choctaw in Chickasha.
