Wealth Watchers Inc.
Homebuyer Education Program

Virtual In-Person Education

Wealth Watchers Inc. virtual in-person education program includes a combination of virtual classroom and individual advisement and meets lender, builder, down-payment assistance programs, and homebuyer education requirements:

Step 1: Attend our virtual Homebuyer 101 Orientation program which provides an introduction to the home buying process, home purchase team members, mortgage qualifying, and the importance of credit. Learn about down-payment assistance programs.

Step 2: After attending the orientation, receive your invitation to virtually meet Nikki Terry, VP Homeownership Promotions, and her team of housing advisors to create your specific homeownership plan. Enroll in downpayment programs, review your credit, and develop a spending plan to save money for your home purchase. If your credit history prevents you from qualifying for affordable mortgage products, you may receive an invitation to attend our Money and Credit Management online class where you’ll receive specific tips on negotiating old debt.

Step 3: When you are ready to shop for a home, attend our comprehensive Homebuyer Education Workshop. This virtual In-person classroom workshop is held monthly on 2 Saturdays from 10am-2 pm nine times per year. These classes are taught by experienced, HUD-approved homeownership advisors as well as volunteer mortgage lenders, real estate agents, and home inspectors. Wealth Watchers Inc. workshop is based on a nationally recognized NeighborWorks Realizing the Dream curriculum with many State and Region-specific forms and examples. Obtain a Homebuyer Education Certificate of Completion that meets the requirements of lenders, builders, Local, and State Down Payment Assistance Programs. Fee: $50 plus a small handling fee charged by Eventbrite (this fee is currently waived for new attendees), includes course materials and refreshments. Click here for schedule and registration.
