Event Overview

236 years ago, Thomas Jefferson told the King of England that he couldn't tax our tea and he better not stand in the way of our property acquisitions. Many economic boom and bust cycles (and a few financial meltdowns) later, owning a home in many places is cheaper than renting.

If you're considering buying your own little slice of the Windy City, you owe it to yourself to learn how the process works first.

This Dabble class is an overview of the home-buying process from A to Z. We'll decode the terminology used in the real estate biz, and learn valuable information, such as:
-Figuring out how much a place will actually cost you
-Finding vital information on the interwebs to help your process along
-Recruiting the right professionals to speak on your behalf and
-Understanding (and avoiding!) the boobie traps in the contract.

Walk away with a great foundation upon which to build ... your dream house. Zing!

Clint Costa is qualified to teach this Dabble class first and foremostly because he's a homeowner. In addition, he's closed several real estate deals as a practicing attorney. Clint is also a veteran Dabble teacher, and he's eager to step back in the ring and share with first time homebuyers (or those who've done it before but would like a refresher) how to win the battle of the buyout.

    "Clint called upon an attorney, a realtor, and a mortgage banker to provide advice from their individual points of view. The handouts were also extremely helpful and I will definitely consult them when it comes time for me to make the commitment to buying a home.

    This class took away much of the fear I was having about buying a home. The handouts and presentation cleared up a lot of the confusion and is making me much more confident going forward."
