Supplemental Homebuyer Education Course

Homebuyers: did you take the 8-hour Homebuyer Education course online? Was it a self-paced class, such as eHome America or Fannie Mae HomeView? If so, you also need to complete this 2-hour supplemental course. This 2-hour course is designed to highlight the major topics of the Homebuyer Education course and give you an opportunity to ask our HUD certified counselor any questions you may have about the course topics. Community Home Trust is offering this course on Zoom. See below for dates/times. (Please note: The certificate for this class is only valid for 1 year. If you do not purchase a home within 1 year, you may be required to re-take this class.)

*If you took the 8-hour Homebuyer Education course in-person OR if you took the course online but it was taught by an instructor in real-time (such as on Zoom), you are NOT required to take this 2-hour supplemental course.
