Guiding New Home Buyers to Home Ownership Without the Stress
Building or buying a home is one of the most important lifestyle and financial decisions most people will make, yet because it’s not a daily decision, many first-time home buyers are in the dark on critical choices that may affect their overall satisfaction. The Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association wants home buying to be a positive experience for everyone and is committed to helping buyers through the process. So, the HBA hosts a free class to better educate and guide today’s first time new home buyer through the entire process of buying or building a new home.
Potential buyers will gain knowledge from industry leaders explaining the builder selection process, contracts and warranties, and the importance of shopping the market.
