Things you should know before purchasing a home

Do you know the steps you need to take to qualify to buy a home? Don't be caught off guard! Knowledge is power. Join Cathy Dorsey, owner/broker with Dorsey & Cooper Realty Inc., to learn about housing incentive funds, credit scores and credit repair, contract of sales, and settlement preparation. You will also learn from Sandy Jenkins, coordinator of the Johns Hopkins Live Near Your Work Program, how you may qualify for up to $36,000 in grants.
