Consumers will receive a certificate upon completion of the program. The pre-purchase curriculum covers financial management, evaluating credit information, prequalifying & loan approval, financing options, shopping for a home, finalizing the loan, the closing process, maintaining the home, avoiding foreclosure and predatory lending practices. Successful completion of the program may be used to qualify for applicable homeowners’ assistance programs. Pre-purchase counseling is ideally performed before the purchase contract is signed.
