Mass Real Estate Blog

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

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

Thanks for bearing with me through the technical difficulties, but I think everything’s now back and running.  The lack of posting over the past month was a product of my busy work schedule (refinancing, anyone?) as well as straightening out the comments problem with the blog.

Should be back up and running strong now.  Stay tuned for more posts!
