Start With Knowledge. Move Forward With Confidence.
One of the biggest concerns for first-time homebuyers is having enough money for a down payment and closing costs. Depending on your circumstances, programs and resources may be available to help eligible buyers manage these expenses.
In order to qualify for down payment assistance and closing cost assistance in Baltimore City, HUD requires each buyer to complete a two-part educational course.
Part 1: A Home Buyers’ Workshop hosted by a HUD-approved housing agency.
Part 2: A one-on-one counseling session with a housing counselor. During this session, you’ll learn which down payment assistance programs you may qualify for, the importance of shopping around, and the ins and outs of the homebuying process.
I’ll also be there as your Realtor to guide you through securing down payment assistance, getting pre-approved by a lender, and closing on your new home!
