Wasilla’s Brian Remley is one of more than 60,000 Alaskans who made better home buying decisions, thanks to HomeChoice, a free class offered by the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC).
Brian purchased his first house in 2018. “I was nervous, and I wanted insider knowledge of what to look for, things to pay attention to and types of questions I should be asking when looking for the right home,” he said.
HomeChoice™ is a six-hour class that helps prospective homebuyers work their way through the decisions and steps of buying a home and how to save money on closing costs. Topics covered include how to shop for a lender and a real estate professional, title insurance, energy-efficient homes, how to get a home loan, purchase and sale contracts, home inspections, money management and budgeting and AHFC loan programs.
The class is open to all buyers, whether it’s their first house or their fifth, and is particularly valuable for those interested in learning more about the homebuying process, how to prepare for homeownership and how to access local and federal programs that reduce the cost of homeownership.
HomeChoice™ classes are available online each week. The lessons are delivered over three days in two-hour increments.
HomeChoice™ is a great first step, particularly for first-time buyers, Brian said.
