From Karen Nickel: (more…)

I’m doing another New Home Buyer Workshop with Karen Nickel and Donna McKeown on Saturday, January 30, 2010 at 10:00 a.m.  It should last about two hours.

The session will be held at Karen Nickel’s office:

Hammond Residential Office

826 Boylston Street, Chestnut Hill, MA, 02467

First conference room

RSVP to jcohen@massrealestateblog.com or jcohen@pressmankruskal.com

I’m doing another home buyer workshop on Tuesday of next week, from 6-8 in Brookline. Please RSVP to either me (jcohen@massrealestateblog.com) or to Karen Nickel, the real estate broker hosting the event. I’ve done these before with both Karen and Donna, and they’re really a great way to get a good overview of the whole process.

From Karen Nickel:

There seems to be more demand for another homebuyer’s workshop 101. My last 19 workshops have received rave reviews from the attendees. Therefore, I have scheduled this next one for Tuesday May 12 from 6-8 PM at the Courtyard Marriott, 40 Webster Street in Brookline. The Marriott is right around the corner from my Brookline Coldwell Banker office.

If this is not for you, but you know of someone that may benefit from the topic, please feel free to pass the invite along. I have had people attend the session that were a year away from purchasing a home and those who were looking outside of Boston. That is OK!

The discussion will cover home buying 101 and should last about 2 hrs. We will go through the process from offer to closing and discuss what to look for along the way. The process involves many players, so I invited a real estate attorney and a mortgage broker. Here is a short summary of what each of us will cover:

Me (Karen Nickel, VP), Realtor & Architect
www.KarenNickel.com
Agency, viewing property, offers and inspection

Jason Cohen Esq, Attorney at Law
www.pressmankruskal.com
www.massrealestateblog.com
Purchase & Sale process, mortgage commitment, and closings

Donna McKeown, Mortgage Broker
donna.mckeown@prospectmtg.com
Pre-approval, FICO scores, mortgage commitment and types of mortgages

Parking is available either on Beacon St (meter) or at the Marriott Hotel’s underground garage ($.50/hr).

Do RSVP - so we will bring enough refreshments.

The workshop is free!

Thanks, Karen

Here is the official new home buyer workshop details from the real estate broker coordinating it, Karen Nickel.  If you do plan on attending, please RSVP, either to me at jcohen@massrealestateblog.com or to Karen Nickel.  These are VERY informative, and you can ask questions to your heart’s content.  Since it’s free, it’s a great resource.

The new home buyer workshop referenced here has been changed from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.  More details to follow.

I have been asked to lead the attorney section of a new home buyer workshop on Saturday, January 31, 2008.  The workshop will run from 10:00 a.m. until noon.  The workshop will also have a mortgage broker and a real estate broker (Karen Nickel, of Coldwell Banker in Brookline).

These are always very useful for all involved.  If you’re interested, let me know via e-mail (jcohen@massrealestateblog.com).  RSVPs are mandatory to attend, but the workshop is *free*.

I’ll post more details as they become available, including short biographies of the people involved.  It will probably be in a conference room at the Marriott in Coolidge Corner.
