The Home Buyer Education Series is a comprehensive program offered by the Department of Development. The curriculum covers everything from determining if home ownership is right for you, to closing the loan and maintaining the property.

Pre-purchase counseling is designed to help you determine how much property you can afford and if you meet your mortgage lender's requirements for credit, job time and funds to close.
If you are not quite ready to buy, the Getting Ready Program can provide the tools you need to improve your credit, save money, and prepare for application.
Post-purchase counseling gives new home owners the opportunity to work through financial and property maintenance issues they may be facing. Debt, Credit and Money Management Counseling is an integral part of making sure mortgage and other payments are made on time.

The all-day Home Buyer Education class offers nine hours of education (8:00am through 5:30pm) to pre-registered participants. Education materials are supplied with a non-refundable $15 registration fee. Please call our office for class dates and for a registration form, which must be returned to us at least one week before the date of the class.

The Home Buyer Education Series and Getting Ready programs continue to be a referral choice for many area financial institutions as well as the cities of Xenia and Fairborn and USDA/Rural Development. We have also served the counseling and education needs for residents of Montgomery, Clark, and Clinton counties. We continue to receive financial support for our Home Buyer Education Series and Getting Ready programs from local financial institutions and the Dayton Area Board of Realtors.
