With interest rates at record lows, prices of homes for sale here in the Twin Cities having dropped over the last number of years as well, an outstanding buying opportunity is present for first time home buyers here in our market. Often times, buyers can now own a home for less than they are paying in rent. At this first time buyer seminar, we will examine the entire buying process from the financing standpoint: from determining what down payment assistance programs may be available to you as a buyer, to helping you determine what amount of home you can buy, to learning more about the process of beginning to search for properties. Charlie Leimer from The Minnesota Real Estate Team will take you through the process of working with a real estate agent: from the first meeting over coffee to learn more about you and what you are looking for in a home, to the process of looking at properties, making an offer, and moving forward to the day of closing. This will be a live virtual event streamed through Facebook.

6. The New Construction 101 Workshop - Future Seminar Date to be Determined
All too often when someone undertakes a new construction project, their expectations fail to survive the collision with reality. The end result can be undue stress and frustration during the process and coming in a little or even a lot over budget at the end. If new construction is something you are considering, then this workshop will give you what you need to decide if this is the right path for you. If you have already made the choice to build, then you'll learn how to navigate the process effectively, enjoy the experience along the way, and end up building the home of your dreams on-time and on-budget. At this seminar we will cover: how to select the right Realtor and the role they will play throughout the project, how to choose a lender, the ins and outs of financing new construction, and how to get the best rate, the difference between big builders vs. local and how to pick the right builder for you, the budgeting and design process including how to decipher and compare different builder's bids, the keys to staying on budget and possibly saving money along the way, what you need to know about lot selection and purchasing, and the 7 stages of construction you need to know once construction starts on your new home.
