New Buyer Videos from HUD

To help consumers navigate the home buying process, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the National Association of Realtors (NAR) have created three how-to videos to help prospective homeowners find a home they can afford, shop for a mortgage they can sustain, and what to expect when they go to closing.  This information provides a beginning, from which the prospective buyer can feel comfortable contacting a Realtor to start looking at homes.

Each video focuses on a critical part of the homebuying process including shopping for your home, shopping for your loan, and closing the deal.  David H. Stevens, HUD’s assistant secretary for Housing and Federal Housing Commissioner said, “The process for buying a home can appear complicated and overwhelming for many consumers. These videos will help answer the fundamental questions most people have—from shopping for their home to signing on the dotted line.”  HUD’s videos are easily accessible from both HUD and NAR’s websites as well as from HUD’s YouTube channel.

Stevens added, “These videos go a long way in identifying key aspects of the homebuying process that a consumer should be aware of. Our goal is to help make the process more transparent through educating consumers who in turn can make informed choices about their home purchase. We partnered with NAR because a real estate agent is often the primary point of contact for home buyers, and we believe real estate agents are in a great position to provide these videos to their clients as they move through key areas in the homebuying process.”  Visit Hud.gov for more information.

You probably will have questions after you watch one or all of the videos.  Just call or email me and let's talk about the process of buying a Hamilton NJ home.
