First Time Home Buyer Workshops

Dear Prospective Homebuyer:

Thank you for your interest in the First-Time Homebuyer Program! You are invited to our next Pre-Purchase Home Buyers Workshop.

In the workshop you will learn about goal setting, financial fitness, creditworthiness, working with a lender, what an affordable mortgage is, working with a realtor, the home inspection, responsibilities of being a successful homeowner and more!

THIS INFORMATIVE WORKSHOP IS A REQUIREMENT FOR THOSE SEEKING ASSISTANCE THROUGH THE CITY OF ELMIRA’S FIRST TIME HOME BUYER PROGRAM.

Please email Kathy to be added to the list for a future workshop!

(Attendance for the entire workshop is required to receive a certificate of completion.)

We welcome a $10 donation per household to help cover the cost of materials for the training.
Services are not denied if an applicant is unable to pay.

We look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your goal of homeownership. When you call, we can review the income guidelines and criteria of the program to see if it fits your situation. Please note: the down-payment assistant grant is only for purchase in the City of Elmira – but anyone is welcome to participate in the workshop.

Please take a moment to RSVP to Karen: 607-317-5753 or Kathy: 607-317-5677
