Marine Corps Air Station New River, N.C. -- If purchasing a home is in your future plans, then there are many aspects of the home-buying process that need to be taken into consideration.
Periodically, Marine Corps Community Services hosts an information seminar regarding the home-buying process and all it entails.
The home-buying class explains everything that needs to be thought about such as beginning the process, closing procedures and any other supplemental information that people need to know.
“We also cover any areas of curiosity when it comes to selling your home,” said Christina Davis, senior loan officer with 1st Mariner Mortgage. “Our main goal is to cover the buying process, but we sometimes have class attendees interested in specific selling information as well, so we answer those questions as they come.”
The mortgage loan process is a point that is covered in the class because of its importance in the whole process.
“Buyer agency is something else that we thoroughly cover,” said Alexis Pierson, EXIT independence realty broker and owner. “There is a lot more to buyer agency than people perceive, and we like to clear the air and state the facts about it.”
“We definitely encourage everyone to shop around and weigh all of the options and variables,” said Davis. “We see most often that if people do not attend a class such as this they have a tendency to work with whoever they fall with. We suggest to call multiple home inspectors, lenders and realtors so they can receive the best home and price.”
Davis added there are more topics and much more that is covered in the class. These are just some of the bigger points the instructors like to touch on.
“I thoroughly enjoyed the class and all of the information it had to offer,” said Lance Cpl. Stephanie Widmann, Marine Medium Tiltrotor Training Squadron 204 airframe mechanic. “The way the class was presented and the ample amount of knowledge the instructors had was outstanding and any question that was asked in regards to buying or selling a house was addressed.”
