Pre-purchase One-on-One Counseling
Our counselors meet with you to develop your home buying plan. We talk with you about what you can afford, budgeting, saving, and your mortgage options. We can help you review your credit report and look at possibilities to resolve credit issues that could affect getting a loan. We'll refer you to down payment assistance programs.
There is a fee for pre-purchase counseling, to be paid at the time of your counseling. To schedule an appointment, call 1-866-731-8486.
Pre-purchase Group Workshops
Guidewell Financial’s housing experts hold group workshops for potential homebuyers. You’ll learn about how to shop for a house, budget considerations, mortgages, down payments, and other things you should consider for successful home buying and ownership. Each workshop lasts 8 hours and is offered on select Saturdays at our Catonsville, Maryland and Dover, Delaware offices. Call 1-866-731-8486 to reserve your spot in our next Homebuyer Pre-purchase Group Workshop.
