Who this course may fit

Learners can review basic homebuying decisions before moving deeper into shopping, financing, and ownership responsibilities.

What learners explore
The eHome America course is designed to help learners understand several parts of buying and maintaining a home.
Whether homeownership is right for you
The course can help learners think through readiness, responsibilities, costs, and timing before buying.
How to shop for a home
Learners can review the process of looking for a home and considering practical needs before choosing.
How to maintain a home
Homeownership continues after the purchase. The course includes education on maintaining the home after move-in.
Certificate of completion
eHome America states that a certificate of completion may be presented to the client or lender after completion of a counseling session with a homeownership advisor, if that step is required.
The registration form also authorizes the counseling agency to contact you about a one-on-one follow-up session when applicable and to provide the certificate to your lender after that session. Confirm your lender or program requirements before paying.
A homebuyer course should slow the decision down
Buying a home is not only a mortgage decision. It is a budget decision, a maintenance decision, a location decision, and often a family decision. The payment is only one part of the cost.
A good homebuyer education course can help learners pause long enough to ask better questions. Can the budget handle repairs? What happens if income changes? Is the home affordable beyond the monthly payment? What does the lender or program actually require before closing?
