HomesFund is back to teaching Homebuyer Education Classes locally in Pagosa Springs in 2023.
Homebuyer Education Class will equip you with the knowledge needed to navigate the housing market to become a homeowner. The class is a high level overview of the whole home buying process, everything from budgeting to determine what you can afford, Lending and what you can qualify for, shopping for the home, the contract period and what to expect post-closing. Completion of this course opens up various subsidized lending programs as well as HomesFund’s down payment assistance up to $125,000.
The next class is scheduled in Pagosa for Saturday May 20 from 8:30am – 4:30pm at the Ross Aragon Community Center. There will be periodic breaks and a 1 hour break for lunch.
Another class will be offered on Saturday September 23, also at the Ross Aragon Community Center.
Classes are also being offered in Durango on April 8 and May 6 at Fort Lewis College.
