Homebuyer Education Registration Materials for Instructors

To all Homebuyer Education Instructors,

Options for Homebuyer Education Seminars

Please Note: We are working on implementing the NEW and IMPROVED Homebuyer Education Class Registration Portal on our website. There may be a black-out period when classes can’t be registered due to data migration.

  1. In-Person Classroom
    Due to the rescission of COVID-19 emergency proclamation by the Washington State Governor's office, the Commission is pleased to announce the removal of COVID-19 restrictions for instructors of in-person Commission sponsored homebuyer education classes.

  2. Virtual Classroom
    Instructors may use Zoom (or another virtual classroom platform) to provide classes virtually. Before you use Zoom (or another virtual classroom platform) the first time for your classes, email Corinna Obar for approval and explain in writing:
    1. How you will gather contact and demographic information for each attendee to be forwarded to us after the class;
    2. How you will ensure that each attendee is present for the full 5 hours;
    3. How you will ensure that each attendee receives their certificate.

    Please note: If you currently have a virtual homebuyer education class scheduled with us, we will keep it listed as virtual unless you cancel your virtual class and re-register as in-person. Again, classes must be either in person or virtual – hybrid classes will not be allowed at this time.

  3. eHomeAmerica Online Class
    In addition to in-person and virtual Commission-sponsored classes, homebuyers still have the option of taking our approved online self-guided course via eHomeAmerica. The cost is $50 per person and each borrower must register separately and take the course individually.

Thank you for your patience during this challenging time and as always, thank you for the time you spend teaching the public to be better informed homebuyers and homeowners!

Instructors of Commission-sponsored homebuyer education seminars may register a seminar and download seminar materials.

DISCLAIMER: The sponsorship by the Commission of a homebuyer education seminar does not endorse a person, business practice, product or service other than those of the Commission.

Participating lenders must co-instruct with a real estate professional who has also attended Commission Home Loan Programs and Homebuyer Education Instructor Training.

Please submit a separate form for each seminar with complete information.

Each seminar must be a minimum of five full hours of actual class time plus breaks.

The Commission will provide to the Lender a routing slip, handouts-brochures, evaluation sheets, certificates of completion and Seminar Participant Registration Forms.

Instructors must coordinate directly with the Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) for delivery of seminar workbooks. Here’s the link to order your books: http://www.dfi.wa.gov/consumers/publications/home_loans.htm
