Commission-Sponsored Seminars

Are free and open to the public, include information about the Commission's Home Advantage first mortgage program, downpayment assistance, and other loan programs; and

Are accepted by all affordable housing loan programs as meeting or exceeding educational requirements.

Instructors have attended training and agreed to standards which assure that:

Seminars are at least five hours in length, covering all major aspects of the home buying process

Seminars are presented in an open, unbiased format

Seminars use approved training materials and handouts

Seminars are offered by professionals who have attended the Commission's instructor training

No direct marketing or sales presentations may be given either by the instructor or any guest speakers

Seminar Workbook

Guide To Home Loans workbook is provided by the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions.

Reservations Are Required for all Seminars

If you will be using any of the Commission's programs to purchase your home, you must complete the seminar before your loan officer can lock in your interest rate. Many people find they gain enough information at the seminar to successfully locate and finance a home of their own.  Others may find they need additional assistance.  Contact us with questions at askusHO@wshfc.org.
