The James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., is working with two local organizations to present the program, "Considering Home Ownership: Your Questions Answered."
The program will take place from 10-11:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 20 in the third-floor Lowry Room.
Join Erica Mowrey and some of her team members from Iron Valley Real Estate, as well as Merrill Smith from M&T Bank, to get answers to the questions you have about the home buying process. Are you a first-time buyer? Not sure if you have enough money saved or a high enough credit score to qualify for a mortgage? You'd be surprised what programs are out there, and with the right lender and real estate team supporting you, they can guide you down the path to homeownership. Even if you are thinking of buying down the road, it doesn't hurt to get some great resources and meet people who can help you when you are ready.
"Starting my career in education and then transitioning to real estate, I have learned that the most important thing for first-time buyers when starting their home search is FIRST getting educated on the home buying process," Mowrey said.
Registration is requested and can be made at calendar.jvbrown.edu or by calling 570-326-0536.
