This 8-hour, HUD-certified class will show you what to expect in the home-buying process, including shopping for a loan, special programs for first-time homebuyers, the house search, inspecting and insuring your home, and maintaining and protecting your investment. Please note: These classes have a limited capacity and tend to fill up quickly.  Some dates listed here may already be full.  You are welcomed to contact us to check availability before registering.

This course is also available online.

If you’ve already signed a purchase agreement and your lender has instructed you to complete an online homebuying class, please contact onlineed@portlandhousingcenter.org. If you’d prefer to take the live Zoom class instead of the online version, include your closing date in your message so we can make sure you receive your certificate in time.

If you’re not yet working with a lender and have not signed a purchase agreement, we would encourage you to register for counseling services as your first step. For questions or to be directed to the appropriate services, please contact adminpdx@portlandhousingcenter.org.
