Mortgage Basics and Choosing the Right Loan
The class is scheduled for Tuesday, January 13, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM Eastern Time. It is hosted as an online event in a class format, so you can join from anywhere while still engaging with the presenter in real time.
What you’ll learn
This session is designed to break down mortgage concepts into clear, understandable terms so buyers can make informed decisions before they shop for a home. A lending expert walks through the lending process and explains how buyers can strengthen their position before applying.
Key topics include:
Common mortgage options (such as different loan types) and who they are usually best for.
What lenders review during the approval process, including key financial factors.
How to prepare financially before buying, so you are ready when the right home appears.
The tone is intentionally educational and no-pressure, focused on clarity rather than sales.
About the series and who it’s for
This workshop is part of the Prepare to Buy a Home Series, which walks buyers through every major step of the buying journey, from getting started to financing, credit, inspections, and making strong offers. It is ideal for buyers who want to understand mortgage basics before committing to a lender or a specific product.
These events are intended for buyers who are not currently under a signed buyer representation agreement. If you are already under contract with another agent, the organizers note that it would be unethical for them to provide direct guidance.
