Who is Homebuyer Basics for?

Anyone thinking about buying a home in the Richmond area, whether that's in three months or three years. No prior knowledge needed.

Is this a certified homebuyer education course?

No. It's an educational class. If your loan or down payment assistance program requires a certified course, ask us and we'll show you how to sign up for one.

Do I need to be pre-approved first?

Will I get sales calls after the class?

Only if you ask for them. When you register you choose separately whether the agent, the loan officer, both or neither may follow up.
