So you want to buy a home - a place of your own - an investment in the American Dream of home ownership.  You are probably excited, scared, and nervous at the prospect of owning your own home.  No doubt you have heard "horror stories" by uninformed first-time homebuyers. We encourage all potential home owners to take this informative homebuyer education class early in the home buying process.

SETH has the answer to your "first-time homebuyer jitters".  Attend our Homebuyer Education Class taught at our conveniently located offices at 11111 South Sam Houston Parkway East in southeast Houston.

In this informal classroom setting, the knowledgeable instructor will explain the sometimes confusing mortgage and real estate terms.  The instructor will give you the tools to budget for your new home based on your disposable income and will discuss credit and loan issues.  Utilizing the services of a licensed real estate professional will be outlined.  Included in their interactive discussions will be the earnest money contract, loan process, and home maintenance.
