Our JULY HOMEBUYERS' COHORT at Pace Realty was amazing this past weekend.

Our very own Carla Owen was amazing during her Sessions pertaining to Credit Education & Post Purchase Instruction. Rob Reid (pictured below) from Movement Mortgage also joined us, to teach Sessions on Pre-Purchasing fundamentals & Finance/Budgeting
We had a couple attendees who were pre-approved for mortgages qualifying for the $1,000 down payment assistance. Also, several individuals from the class are enrolled in our advanced credit improvement programs, setting themselves up to become mortgage qualified next!
