Free Certification Course for First-Time Homebuyers

02:02PM / Friday, April 17, 2009

PITTSFIELD, Mass. - Greylock Federal Credit Union will be offering a free Mass Housing Homebuyer Certification Course for first time homebuyers beginning Tuesday, May 12, at the Bass Water Grill in Cheshire. The course consists of three 2-hour sessions, on Tuesday, May 12; Thursday, May 14; Tuesday, May 19, from 6:30 – 8:30 pm each night.

Homebuyer certification is required for any first-time homebuyer applying for a MassHousing reduced-interest loan. The course is offered quarterly, and the certificate is good for one year. Buyers must attend all three classes in order to receive their certificate.

People who are considering purchasing a home in the next 6 to12 months are encouraged to register for the course. Topics covered include budgeting, credit reports, financing options, rights and responsibilities of a buyer, and understanding the process of purchasing and owning your first home.

Advance registration is required. For more information, and to register, please call Maureen Phillips, Assistant Vice President at Greylock Federal Credit Union, (413) 236-4005. There is no cost for the class or materials. Visit www.greylock.org for more information on classes and home financing.

Greylock has been the number one mortgage lender in Berkshire County for the last decade.

Greylock Federal Credit Union was recently rated the top credit union in the United States for total value returned to Members/Owners according to Callahan & Associates, a national credit union research and consulting firm. Greylock Membership is open to anyone who lives, works, attends school, worships or regularly conducts business in Berkshire County. Greylock Federal is wholly owned by its more than 65,000 members and offers full-service branches in Pittsfield, Great Barrington, Lee, Adams, North Adams, and Williamstown.
