Events: Get advice on how to purchase a home

Purchasing a home is likely the single largest financial decision that anyone will make. How do you know if you're ready, both financially and logistically, to buy a home? And what factors should you consider to make the right choice?

This Tuesday at 6 pm, join GGWash and event sponsor Chanin Wisler at the District of Columbia Association of Realtors (1615 New Hampshire Ave) for a panel discussion to explore what prospective home-buyers need to do to start their search on the right track—from preparing finances and getting the right budget, to creating realistic criteria and honing in on the right neighborhoods for your family.

Follow along as two home buyers talk through their experiences and get advice from a panel of experts. We’ll have plenty of time for audience questions. Tickets are only $10, or FREE for GGWash Neighbors!
