North Shore Bank has partnered with Coastal Homebuyer Education, Inc., to offer a series of education programs that are designed to demystify the home buying process. Typically offered on a monthly basis, these two-day programs feature topics like:
- How to obtain a mortgage
- Learning to work with realtors
- The importance of home inspections
- The role of attorneys
- How to purchase insurance
- Special issues for condominiums and multi-family homes
These workshops are also certified by Citizens’ Housing and Planning Association (CHAPA), the Massachusetts Housing Partnership (MHP) and MassHousing. This is a particularly important distinction as completion of a first time home buying education program is often required by lenders as a precondition for obtaining a mortgage.
North Shore Bank will also provide a closing cost credit of $250 to those who attend a seminar and then obtain a first-time homebuyer mortgage through the bank. Please note this offer can also be combined with our existing First-Time Homebuyer credit — bringing your savings to $750.*
