Here are some questions that were asked during a home buyers seminar last month:
How much can I afford?
Can I get a loan to cover rehab costs?
When should we talk to a lender?
What are lender fees? What’s the norm?
What are points?
Is the down payment different from closing costs?
Why do people get into ARM’s vs. Fixed loans (good question especially right now)?
What can I do to get my credit score higher?
Can we still get a home if one of us has great credit and the other has not so great credit?
Where do I start in the negotiation process?
Does earnest money show the seller how serious the buyer is?

MORE ABOUT YOUR HOST
I grew up in Michigan but have called Chicago home for the last 9 years. Thanks to my love of trying new things and meeting new people, I have really learned the ins and outs of the city! It’s truly the greatest place to live… except for those 9 months of winter!
I am a licensed Real Estate Agent in the state of Illinois. For the past 3 years my main focus has been first time home buyers. I believe the home buying process can and should be a fun experience. It is wonderful having a job that allows me to become a part of such a big stepping stone in a person’s life. I enjoy taking the time to build a lasting relationship with each person or couple to really determine their needs and find them the perfect place to call home!
