Homebuyer Education

Purchasing your first home will be one of the biggest financial decisions you make in your lifetime.

This is not a decision you want to go into with your eyes closed. Many times in this process you will be asking yourself “Who can I trust? What is the next step? How do I know if I am getting a good mortgage product?” Family Life Credit Services is here for you!

Family Life Credit Services is a Certified Homebuyer Educator. We offer an eight hour workshop once a month that will educate you on all you need to know about purchasing your first home. In these classes you will also hear from a realtor, a mortgage lender, a home inspector and insurance agent. Once you have completed the workshop you are entitled to a one-on-one counseling session where you and your homeownership counselor will develop an action plan to help you realize your dreams of owning a home.
