Counseling

Homeownership Counseling

NEWSED’s counseling and educational services are provided to first-time homebuyers through one-on-one counseling and workshops. The goal is to help individuals develop a plan to become eligible for ownership. All of NEWSED’s client based services are free with the exception of a small copy fee. NEWSED counselors will work with a client for as long as counseling is needed so that they are eligible to receive a home loan. At the completion of the program clients are fully aware and educated in areas of credit stability, home maintenance budgeting, equity building, emergency repair programs, the lending process, mortgage options dos and don’ts, refinancing, home energy efficiency, how to work with a real estate agent and they are offered post counseling services.

Since the beginning of NEWSED’s home buyer counseling program over a thousand clients have been successfully transitioned into homeownership. Only 1% of these homeowners have fallen into foreclosure proving that pre purchase counseling and education works!
