The latest new home buyer workshop
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 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. 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*.
Here is all the information, which I just received from the host, Karen Nickel, a real estate broker in Brookline:
Potential homebuyers:
There seems to be more demand for another homebuyer’s workshop 101. My last 18 workshops have received rave reviews from the attendees. Therefore, I have scheduled this next one for 31 January (Saturday before the Superbowl) from 1-3 PM at my Coldwell Banker Office (1375 Beacon Street, Brookline - Coolidge Corner) in the downstairs conference room.
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
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 ($0.50/hr).
Do RSVP - so we will bring enough snacks.
Oh - I will have my jeans on and you should too!
The workshop is free!
Thanks, Karen
