Buying a home is one of life's biggest decisions and financial investments. It can be intimidating for anyone.
Fortunately, our network of local counselors provide education and assistance for homebuyers so they can confidently purchase homes that are affordable for the long term.
A recent study commissioned by NeighborWorks showed that homebuyers who work with our network organizations are one-third less likely to become 90 or more days delinquent during the first two years of homeownership than those who do not.
To further support homeownership counselors, we manage the National Industry Standards for Homeownership Education and Counseling website. We are serious about harnessing the benefits of technology and offer state-of-the-art software, such as CounselorMax, to help housing professionals serve their clients better.
A homeownership counselor can help with these crucial steps! They're trained and certified to provide one-on-one assistance that focuses on your unique financial circumstances in an effort to help you achieve your housing goals.
