The top 9 reasons to attend a HomeStart Home Buyer Seminar
Opening the door to home ownership also opens the door to a whole new range of activities and responsibilities. It can feel like you have lots of information to take in and sometimes it’s hard to know who to ask about what.
It’s simple and stress-free
If you’re a first home buyer or an existing homeowner looking for a fresh start, our Home Buyer Seminars will give you the right tools to get you started. It’s part of our role to break down barriers and make home ownership straightforward and accessible.
Bring yourself – and feel free to invite a friend!
You don’t need to bring anything to join a seminar. We will provide you with a Home Buyer Seminar Workbook that has lots of handy information to take home with you. The workbook also includes sections for you to take your own notes.
A clear roadmap for homebuyers
We understand that it can be hard to know where to start when you want to buy your own home. That’s why when you attend one of our Homebuyer Seminars, we will provide you with a clear one-page guide that walks you through all the typical steps in the homebuying process in the order they occur.
Learn about HomeStart’s home loan options
From Graduate Loans to Low Deposit Loans, we offer unique options that make home ownership more achievable. Plus, we have additional options to boost your budget or cover upfront costs. Our Home Loan Specialists will guide you through the choices to help you find the loan that’s right for you.
Have the pre-approval process explained.
You can apply for pre-approval with a lender to understand what you can afford, ready for when you find your perfect property. This involves providing financial information and verifying your financial position to approve your loan. The seminar will take you through the pre-approval process step-by-step.
Learn the different ways to purchase a home
There are four different sale methods – tender, buying off the plan, public auction and private treaty. The two most common are public auction and private treaty. As part of the seminar, we will take you through the different sale methods and provide information about dealing with a real estate agent.
Learn the different steps for buying or building a home
We’ll also cover both buying an existing home and building your own home. It will cover the stages of each process, so you don’t miss any important steps, whichever option you choose.
Ask questions
Our Home Buyer Seminars aim to cover everything you need to know about becoming a home owner. From different the types of loans available to building inspections, a seminar is a great way to learn about the whole process. If you have your own questions, you’ll have the chance to ask one of our Home Loan Specialists when you attend a seminar. If your question is better directed to another organisation, we’ll make sure we point you in the right direction, too.
