We are offering a series of workshops called Ready, Set, Go…Home and they are being held on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:00 PM here at IHA’s office. The entire series will teach you everything you need to know to prepare for and to feel comfortable about the home buying process from credit repair, budgeting to set goals, to real estate terminology and what to expect at the settlement table in a fun and interactive environment.
Schedule:
- Ready – August 23, 2017 – The advantages of buying vs renting and what you need to know 1 to 2 years before you are ready to buy in order to be ready financially.
- Set – September 20, 2017 – Understanding the process of home buying and learning the vocabulary, plus an overview of the professionals who are involved and their roles and responsibilities in helping you buy a home.
- Go – October 18, 2017 – Learn how to read a MLS listing of a home for sale and what to look for when viewing properties, plus what you need to know to write a contract offer.
- Home – November 15, 2017 – What happens after your contract offer is accepted, such as the home inspection and buying homeowners insurance, and getting prepared to go to closing on your very own home!
If you have the dream of becoming a homeowner, give the office a call and speak with Carol Riggles about registering for this FREE workshop series as soon as possible because seating is limited.

Alice Buchanan moved from Frederick, MD to North Carolina to take care of her daughter, Angela, who had kidney failure. Angela was in the Navy and served for 20 years when she retired. Upon Angela’s death, Alice stayed in North Carolina to raise her daughter’s children. When the children became adults, Alice wanted to come back “home” to Frederick, MD. Alice was looking for an apartment, so she asked her friend who was living in Frederick to help her with her search. Her friend connected Alice to Weinberg House. As soon as Alice heard there was a vacant unit she immediately returned to Frederick. Alice Buchanan moved into Weinberg House on May 12, 2015. Other than Alice, there is only one other person who has lived at Weinberg House since Alice moved in.
