Home buying tips

Get home buying tips from ACCC.

As you prepare to enter the housing market, home buying tips from an expert can help you make better decisions and avoid the pitfalls that many homebuyers encounter.

Buying a house is a huge financial commitment – the decisions you make affect your financial situation for many years to come. Quality home buying tips and homebuyer education can help you to more effectively negotiate home prices, mortgage rates and the closing process.

Home buying tips are especially helpful when you’re buying a house for the first time. The right home buyers guide can educate you about every aspect of the process – from maintaining your credit rating to determining how much house you can afford, and from working with a realtor to making an offer, getting a home inspection, and closing on your new home.

When you want home buying tips from a trusted and affordable source, American Consumer Credit Counseling (ACCC) provides housing counseling and a homebuyer education course that will prepare you to enter the real estate market with confidence.

Our online course is especially convenient – it can be completed on a smart phone or tablet, enabling you to work on the course on a lunch break, while waiting for the kids or in the other margins of your day.

Our first time home buyer course not only offers great home buying tips but will provide you with the certification needed to qualify for certain federal low-interest loans and special mortgage products.
