An educated consumer is the key to successful homeownership. For today’s first-time homebuyers, today’s real estate market offers unprecedented opportunities, but the roadmap to homeownership has changed. To help buyers cash in on today’s market and avoid the mistakes that plunged so many into financial crisis, the festival offers one-stop shopping for consumers to get free, expert advice to become successful homeowners. Workshops will be offered on all aspects of the home purchase process, as well as exhibits by area lenders, realtors, and other service providers.
IHDA representatives will be on hand to discuss Welcome Home Heroes for Veterans & Smart Move. DuPage Habitat for Humanity will host an information session for buyers interested in their program at 2 pm.
