DESCRIPTION:Homeownership isn’t out of reach\, you just need someone to show you the way.\n\n\nIf you’ve ever started Googling “how to buy a house” and ended up with more questions than answers\, you’re not alone. Between credit scores\, mortgage types\, down payments\, closing costs\, mortgage insurance\, home inspections\, and everything in between\, the process can feel completely overwhelming. \nThat’s exactly why we created this FREE\, no-pressure\, beginner-friendly workshop that breaks down everything you need to know about becoming a homeowner\, step-by-step. \nWhat You’ll Learn:\n✅ A step-by-step overview of the homebuying process\n✅ Different types of loans—and which one might be right for you\n✅ What lenders really look for: credit\, debt\, and income\n✅ Hidden costs explained: mortgage insurance\, closing costs\, inspections\, and more\n✅ How to build your homebuying team (lender\, agent\, inspector\, etc.)\n✅ What can go wrong—and how to avoid costly mistakes \nPersonalized Support to Get You Started:\nAfter the workshop\, we don’t just leave you hanging. You’ll have access to one-on-one support to help move your homebuying plans forward\, including: \n\nCredit assessment to know your financial standing\nDebt-to-income (DTI) calculation to ensure mortgage eligibility\nBudget review to project your monthly payments\nDirect referrals to our vetted network of mortgage loan officers and real estate agents\n\nMeet Your Speaker: Gynon Brown \n\n\n\nThis workshop is led by Gynon Brown\, Community Development Mortgage Loan Originator at Central Bank. Gynon is passionate about helping first-time homebuyers\, especially those from low to moderate-income backgrounds\, achieve the American Dream of homeownership.

Known for her adventurous spirit—whether hiking\, traveling\, or tackling roller coasters—Gynon brings the same energy to helping her clients navigate the homebuying process with confidence and excitement. \nLet’s face it: homebuying is confusing\, especially the first time. Most people dive in without understanding the fine print\, the fees\, or how one small misstep can delay the entire process. \nThis workshop gives you the insight and guidance you need to make smart\, informed decisions. You’ll learn directly from professionals who break down complex information into real-life\, actionable steps\, with no pressure or sales pitch. \n✨ This is the workshop we wish every first-time homebuyer had.
