Home Buyer Education

NeighborWorks Great Falls (NWGF) offers its Homebuyer Education class once per month. The purpose of the class is to teach potential homeowners about the process of purchasing a home.

Homebuyer Education classes provide in-depth information on all aspects of homeownership:

Budgeting
Finding a home
Choosing a lender
Insurance
Mortgages
Home maintenance

NWGF depends on an array of experts, from several areas of homeownership, to give presentations throughout the class.

You will be asked to pay a $40.00 and sign up for a 1/2 hour appointment the week before the class to review your credit report and pick up materials for the class.

Saturday Classes: Eight-hour classes offered two times per year.

Weeknight Classes: Three evening sessions of three-hours each night for three evenings each month. You must attend all 3 evenings consecutively to get your certificate.

Please note: Our classroom is not suitable for children. Please arrange for your own child care during the class.

The NWGF HomeBuyer Education classroom is located at our offices at 509 1st Ave South in Great Falls.
